The 5 Most Common Viable Sampling Errors - On Demand

As the frequency of viable sampling increases, more sterile compounding facilities are managing sample collection, incubation, and analysis in-house. This significant undertaking demands skilled and dedicated personnel to ensure compliance with USP General Chapter <797>, while also integrating microbiological best practices not explicitly covered in the chapter. Designed for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, this presentation will highlight five common mistakes sterile compounding facilities make when implementing in-house viable sampling and incubation processes.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify potential shortcomings in your sterile compounding facility's viable sampling program.
  2. Discuss changes that can be made to the viable sampling program to ensure compliance.
  3. List industry standards and guides that aid in the development of a robust viable sampling program.
