Demonstrating USP <797> Surface Sampling Competency
In 2023, the USP <797> standard for compounded sterile preparations was significantly revised to improve patient safety. Not only are there more protocols to follow, but pharmacies may need to demonstrate their adherence to USP <797> to various Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Proving adherence includes documenting standard operating procedures (SOPs), but it also includes providing ample evidence that these SOPs are followed and effective.
