Comparison of the sash face velocity to the current ACGIH recommendation. Airflow smoke pattern test. HEPA filter leak test. GFCI outlet trip test. A visual inspection to identify defects, damage, misuse or missing parts. Documentation of the certification and inspection results (e.g., a decal or label affixed in a visible location that indicates the sash certification height, the face velocity and the date of certification). Posting an Out of Service sign hoods that fail certification. Notifying the hood user and the COR of hoods that fail certification. 7. Pharmacy Testing and Certification Testing and certification (under CAG-003-2006-11 and to USP 797 and 800 Standards) of the Pharmacy Ante Room(s), Buffer (IV) Room and Chemo Buffer Room as well as viable air sampling for mold and bacteria will be twice per year (see ATTACHMENTS 3 & 4). Certification and testing shall consist of the following: Smoke Pattern Test (with Digital Recording) USP 797, First Air Direct Compounding Area. Dynamic airflow smoke pattern test conducted in situ to ensue unidirectional air flow and sweeping action over and away from product. All air flow visualization testing will be performed using simulations that mimic the most complex processes performed. Simulated dynamic smoke pattern test in the Primary Engineering Controls (PEC) and BSCs as required by USP 797. Smoke testing will be video recorded & provided on a USB drive of the date of service. USP 797 Air Viable Sampling per location dual analysis. Air samples shall be taken in: the IV (non-hazard) buffer room, two (2) each; the chemo (hazardous drug) buffer room, two (2) each; the airlock leading to the chemo (HD) room, one (1) each; the anteroom, one (1) each; the LFHs, two (2) each; the BSCs, two (2) each; Colony forming units (CFU) results from the cultures shall be calculated in CFU per cubic meter (m3) of air. USP 797 surface viable sampling per location dual analysis. Surface samples shall be taken in: the IV (non-hazard) buffer room, one (1) each; the chemo (HD) buffer room, one (1) each; the airlock leading to the chemo (HD) buffer room, one (1) each; the anteroom, one (1) each; the LFHs, two (2) each; the BSCs, two (2) each; the passthrough boxes, three (3) each.
