We would love to hear how your facility is planning to comply with USP<800>. What are your challenges? Is RxCrush helping your compliance?
During our quality testing of PP06 and PP05-02 Pill Pouches we found no medication or medication dust escapes if proper protocol is followed. Dissolved medication in solution also do not escape if protocol is followed. Protocol is described in the Pill Crusher Instruction flow chart on the "How to Use" page. Vapor of volatile medicines are not contained after the syringe is detached from the pill pouch so vapors do escape. Question was asked by Ngoc Nuygen, PharmD Lead Clinical Pharmacist BCPS from San Ramon Regional Medical Center.
We are evaluating where Rx Crush can fit into our processes. Are your current customers using this for only Table 2 and 3 meds? USP 800 requires a hood for compounding any antineoplastics. Have you had anyone utilize the Rx Crush to crush oral Table 1 meds? We have some non-24 hour facilities who would like to know if we can use Rx Crush for the rare case of a Table 1 oral med that needs to be crushed for administration.
