Compounding Aseptic Isolator
The Baker Company announces the SterilSHIELD 800 Compounding Aseptic Isolator model SS800 — a positive pressure work area for pharmacy applications. The unit is designed specifically for the aseptic compounding of nonhazardous drugs. The SS800 provides two separate double-glove work chambers connected by an internal pass-through door, allowing hand-offs between two technicians during multi-step compounding activities. In addition, the internal pass-through door can be closed, allowing each chamber to operate as a stand-alone single technician (two-glove) isolator. The SS800 utilizes laminar airflow within each of the main work chambers and the pass-through chambers for rapid removal of contaminants. The SS800 is also equipped with special features for user comfort, such as a slanted view screen, adjustable stand, a non-glare work surface, and oval glove ports.

TPN Compounding System
B. Braun launches the PINNACLE TPN Management System, which can prepare 1 L of TPN formulation in less than one minute. PINNACLE developers worked closely with national drug compatibility expert Lawrence Trissel, RPh, to incorporate a simple method of addressing calcium/phosphate compatibilities in order to reduce potential errors. To help streamline the TPN-preparation process further, the PINNACLE system incorporates CPOE and pharmacist approval capabilities, as well as bar coded TPN containers that work with bar code-compatible infusion devices, helping to ensure delivery of the right TPN formula to the right patient. PINNACLE also produces extensive compounding reports that indicate specific user and facility productivity. PINNACLE can aid in <797> compliance with customizable daily checklists and the ability to monitor and track the TPN preparation process.

Disposable IV Additive
Aids EPS releases three disposable IV additive aids to help practitioners reconstitute and dispense medication. The company now offers two filter needles, with 18and 20-gauge needles (1.5 inches), for use with multi-dose IV vials. EPS’ filter aspirator, with a 3-inch blunt needle, has been designed for administering and dispensing medication from ampoules. Both the filter needles and the filter aspirator have 5-micron filters to minimize particulates. The special sintered design of the stainless-steel, 5-micron filter can retain particles on its surface and throughout its sponge-like construction. The rigid filter aspirator has been constructed to more efficiently evacuate medication from ampoules. The aspirator tube’s blunt end can minimize the risk of injecting a medication through a bag’s or bottle’s port.
