PDA Midwest Chapter Webinar: Developing a Sampling Plan for USP Compliance

The PDA Midwest Chapter and our loyal Sponsors are pleased to present a great topic to focus on USP <797> facilities. USP General Chapter <797> has required viable air and surface sampling since 2008. Many organizations have their certification provider perform this sampling, which means the certification provider also choses the sample locations. This results in sample locations that are not risk-based or do not provide valuable information on the microbial state of control of the sterile compounding area. This webinar will discuss how to choose viable air and surface sample locations that not only ensure USP General Chapter <797> compliance, but also provide valuable microbial data..
