(e) ophthalmic drops and ointments; and (f) tissue implants. (16) containment or ‘Compounding aseptic isolator’ ‘CACI’ means a completely enclosed isolating cabinet that makes use of airtight glove ports designed to protect the user from exposure to airborne drugs and other agents during the compounding and material transfer processes. A CACI also provides an aseptic environment for compounding sterile preparations. Air exchange with the surrounding environment should not occur in a CACI unless the air is first passed through a HEPA minimum, microbial retentive filter system capable of containing airborne concentrations of the physical size and state of the drug being compounded. Where volatile hazardous drugs are prepared, the exhaust air from the isolator should be appropriately removed by properly designed building ventilation. (17) aseptic or means a ‘Compounding isolator’ ‘CAI’ completely enclosed isolating cabinet that makes use of airtight glove ports designed to maintain an aseptic compounding environment within the isolator throughout the compounding and material transfer process. Air exchange into the isolator from the surrounding environment should not occur unless the air has first passed through a HEPA minimum, microbial retentive filter. A CAI is primarily used for nonhazardous drug preparations. (818) means information maintained ‘Confidential information’ in a or which is communicated to a patient as part patient’s records of patient counseling, which is privileged and may be released only to the patient, to those practitioners and pharmacists where, in the professional judgment, release is necessary to protect pharmacist’s the health and well being, and to other persons or patient’s governmental agencies authorized by law to receive such confidential information. (19) means an opening that provides a direct ‘Critical site’ pathway between a CSP and the environment or any surface coming in contact with the preparation or environment. (9) means a drug that has the capability of ‘Cytotoxic agent’ killing living cells. (1020) or means the actual, constructive, or ‘Deliver’ ‘delivery’ attempted transfer of a drug or device from one person to another, whether or not for consideration.
