Application Story: USP 797
|
Let Kanomax Help You Meet USP 797 Regulations
 USP chapter 797 is an enforceable regulation from the United States Pharmacopeia that addresses safety concerns regarding Compounded Sterile Preparations (or CSP for short). USP 797 came about due to several incidents of contamination that were introduced during the compounding process. This contamination caused several fatalities prompting the need for an enforceable regulation to govern the compounding of sterile preparations. While it is not federally regulated, nearly all states do have laws that refer to USP 797 either directly or indirectly, and even in the few states where there is no regulation a hospital or pharmacy may still want to follow USP 797 as a best practice to maximize patient safety and minimize liability. You can download a free application note from Kanomax that explains how you can use our particle counters and other products to help your business comply with the regulation.

Choosing the Right Particle Counter for Your Application
|
Basic Guidelines to Help Choose the Right Particle Counter There are two main factors that influence the choice of a particle counter:
The first is the particle size(s) that are to be monitored. This is partially determined by the ISO class of the particular cleanroom, but also depends on the customer's needs. Typically a customer will chose one or two particles for the certification test (if you need help choosing which particle sizes to monitor please refer to the ISO standard). When purchasing your particle counter you will need to check the specifications to ensure the instrument can measure particles of the appropriate size(s).
Make sure you choose a particle counter that can measure all the particle sizes that need to be monitored.
The second factor that you'll want to consider is the flow rate capability of the particle counter. In order to do that we need to consider one of the formulas from the ISO standard:
Formula: Vs = (20/Cnm) x 1000
- Vs = the minimum single sample volume per location, expressed in litres
- Cnm = is the class limit (number of particles per cubic metre) for the largest considered particle size specified for the relevant class.
- 20 = the defined number of particles that could be counted the particle concentration were at the class limit.
This formula will calculate how many liters of air need to be sampled at each location in the cleanroom. Read the full article on our website for more details.

CIMscan CRMS now Available
|
New Cleanroom Monitoring System Available
CIMscan is an easy to install, use and maintain web-based system for reliably monitoring just about anything from one or more sites located anywhere in the world. It can automatically alert key personnel to an abnormal condition via email, cellular text messaging, pager, and, optionally, voice telephone. Data is securely stored and information presented on an "At a Glance" browser dashboard, with full report generation capabilities and electronic signature.
The system is suitable for monitoring the environment and particle contamination in Cleanrooms, the temperature in refrigerators, freezers and other locations where critical materials and assets are stored, air and water quality, or managing energy and utilities consumption in a large office building.

New IAQ Monitor Now Available
The new version of our popular IAQ monitor is now available. The 2212 has all the same features and measures the same parameters as the 2211 did, but our engineers have improved the response time on the humidity portion of the sensor. The new sensor is faster and delivers accurate humidity measurements in just 15 seconds. Links 2212
