Demonstrating USP <797> Surface Sampling Competency
In 2023, the USP <797> standard for compounded sterile preparations was significantly revised to improve patient safety.

Proving adherence includes documenting standard operating procedures (SOPs), but it also includes providing ample evidence that these SOPs are followed and effective.
