Working Safely in Your Containment Ventilated Enclosure

"Working Safely in Your Containment Ventilated Enclosure" provides comprehensive guidelines and demonstrations for adequately using a Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) in drug compounding non-sterile hazardous drugs. This video emphasizes the importance of having only trained personnel in the lab and details the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) required to minimize chemical exposure and contamination risks.

Key steps include appropriate hand hygiene, meticulous donning of PPE, and careful pre-staging of materials inside the CVE to avoid unnecessary interruptions during the compounding process. Techniques for minimizing environmental exposure, such as using a wet bin for soiled equipment and a waste chute for contaminated materials, are thoroughly explained. The video also covers the integration of compounding formulation software to streamline workflow without compromising safety.

Attention is given to maintaining laminar airflow within the CVE, with guidance on slow, deliberate movements to prevent disruption. Proper disposal of waste and contaminated materials and cleaning protocols that ensure maximum absorption and efficiency are highlighted to protect both personnel and the environment.

Whether you are a technician or a facility manager, this video is valuable for reinforcing best practices and maintaining a safe, contamination-free compounding environment.
