Hazardous Drug Containment
For hazardous-drug compounding, the containment secondary engineering
control, or C-SEC, maintains negative pressure to help prevent
hazardous airborne material from migrating into surrounding areas.
Negative pressure of 0.010–0.030 inch water column
Equivalent pressure range of approximately 2.5–7.5 Pa
Minimum 12 air changes per hour for the C-SEC
Externally vented exhaust without return-air recirculation
Integration with an appropriate containment PEC
Engineered Pressure Relationships
Pressure direction is selected according to the compounding activity.
USP <797> sterile preparation areas generally use positive
pressure to protect the product, while USP <800> hazardous-drug
rooms use negative pressure to support personnel and environmental
protection.
USP <797>Positive pressure ≥ 0.020 inch water column, approximately 5 Pa
USP <800>Negative pressure of 0.010–0.030 inch water column
Combined SuiteIndependent positive- and negative-pressure zones
HEPA Filtration
HEPA filters remove airborne particles from the supplied air.
Filter type, location, and coverage are selected for the required
room classification and airflow pattern.
Dedicated Exhaust
Hazardous-drug rooms can be connected to a dedicated exhaust system
that discharges outdoors at a location evaluated by the project
engineer.
Pressure Monitoring
Differential-pressure monitors provide continuous indication.
Visual and audible alarms can notify operators when pressure moves
outside established limits.
Cleanable Construction
Sealed wall and ceiling interfaces, flush surfaces, and compatible
finishes help support routine cleaning and disinfection procedures.

selected PECs, risk assessment, and site conditions.
Our cleanrooms are designed to support compliance with USP
<797>, USP <800>, and applicable ISO 14644 requirements.
Final compliance depends on installation, qualification, operating
procedures, and ongoing facility control.
Qualification & Documentation
Site Qualification Tests
Testing is normally performed after installation, HVAC balancing,
cleaning, and system commissioning. Typical qualification activities
may include:
Airborne particle concentration testing
HEPA filter installation and integrity testing
Supply, return, and exhaust airflow measurement
Air-change-rate verification
Room differential-pressure verification
Airflow direction and visualization studies
Temperature and relative-humidity verification
Room pressure alarm and monitoring checks
Room recovery testing when required
Verification of door operation and room sealing
Qualification Considerations
Qualification criteria should reflect the intended use and operating
condition of each room.
USP <797> sterile compounding areas require appropriate
cleanliness classifications and controlled pressure relationships.
USP <800> hazardous-drug rooms require containment controls,
including negative pressure and externally exhausted air where
applicable.
Combined USP <797> and USP <800> suites require a
coordinated pressure cascade between adjacent spaces.
PEC airflow and heat-load requirements must be considered as part
of the complete room design.
Testing should be completed under clearly defined at-rest or
operational conditions.
Project Documentation
The available turnover package depends on the contracted project
scope. Typical documents may include:
Approved room layout and configuration drawings
Wall, ceiling, floor, door, and finish specifications
HVAC airflow and room-pressure design information
HEPA filter and equipment data sheets
Electrical and control-system drawings
Pressure-monitor and alarm settings
Material and component certificates when available
Installation and inspection records
Operation and maintenance manuals
Recommended maintenance and spare-parts information
Test Reports and Traceability
Qualification reports should provide sufficient information for
technical review and future reference. Each report should identify:
Test method and referenced standard
Approved acceptance criteria
Room name, location, and operating condition
Test locations and sampling points
Instrument identification and calibration status
Measured results and final assessment
Test date and responsible personnel
Observed deviations and corrective actions
Typical Qualification Process
Define requirements:
Confirm the user requirement specification, room classifications,
pressure relationships, PECs, exhaust requirements, and acceptance
criteria.
Review the design:
Review the room layout, materials, airflow strategy, HVAC capacity,
utilities, controls, and equipment interfaces.
Inspect the installation:
Check the enclosure, seals, doors, filters, duct connections,
monitoring devices, and specified components.
Balance and commission:
Adjust supply, return, and exhaust airflow to establish the specified
air-change rates and pressure relationships.
Perform site testing:
Conduct the approved qualification tests using calibrated instruments
and documented procedures.
Issue reports and handover records:
Record results, document deviations, complete corrective actions, and
compile the final turnover package.
Ongoing Certification and Control
Initial qualification confirms performance only under the conditions
documented at the time of testing. Continued control depends on
scheduled certification, environmental monitoring, cleaning and
disinfection, filter maintenance, HVAC maintenance, personnel
practices, and documented change control.
The facility should define reassessment requirements after significant
changes, such as HVAC modification, HEPA filter replacement, equipment
relocation, room alteration, or a loss of pressure control.
FAQ
Are Deiiang Hardwall Cleanrooms compliant with USP <797> and USP <800> requirements?
Deiiang Hardwall Cleanrooms can be designed to support USP <797> sterile compounding and USP <800> hazardous-drug handling requirements. Each system is configured according to the intended compounding activities, risk assessment, facility layout and applicable local regulations. Final compliance depends on installation, operational procedures, certification and ongoing environmental control at the customer’s site.
What room classifications and pressure relationships are typically provided?
A typical configuration includes an ISO Class 7 buffer room or containment secondary engineering control (C-SEC), an ISO Class 7 or 8 ante-room and an ISO Class 5 primary engineering control (PEC). Non-hazardous USP <797> buffer rooms are generally maintained at positive pressure, while USP <800> hazardous-drug C-SECs are maintained at −2.5 to −7.5 Pa relative to adjacent areas. Final pressure relationships are verified during site qualification.
How does the cleanroom control hazardous-drug contamination?
The USP <800> Hardwall Cleanroom uses a sealed, non-shedding enclosure, controlled inward airflow and a negative-pressure cascade to help contain hazardous-drug contaminants. The C-SEC is externally vented through a dedicated exhaust system. Optional features include redundant exhaust fans, safe-change filter housings, room-pressure alarms and supply–exhaust interlocks, subject to the site-specific hazard assessment.
What qualification tests are performed before handover?
Qualification can include airborne particle counting in accordance with ISO 14644-1, HEPA filter integrity testing, airflow-volume and air-change measurements, room-pressure verification, airflow-visualization studies and temperature and relative-humidity checks. Alarm and interlock functions may also be tested. Calibrated instrument records, test reports and qualification documentation are supplied according to the agreed project scope.
What environmental monitoring and safety controls are available?
Available controls include continuous differential-pressure monitoring, local or remote visual and audible alarms, temperature and humidity monitoring and status indication for supply and exhaust systems. Monitoring points, alarm limits and data-recording requirements are configured for the facility’s contamination-control strategy, standard operating procedures and applicable USP certification program.
What documentation and after-sales support does Deiiang provide?
Deiiang can provide approved drawings, material specifications, HVAC and pressure-balance information, HEPA filter test reports, particle-count results, equipment manuals and calibration records within the contracted scope. Preventive maintenance, replacement filters, troubleshooting, recertification support and onsite service are also available to help facilities maintain qualified performance and prepare for inspections or audits.
