WHEN YOU NEED ENVIRONMENTAL PLATES. In the context of consumables used in the compounding process, sampling media devices are essential to meet the compounding facility's requirements. Eagle recognizes the demand for high-quality consumables and provides self-locking, triple-wrapped, gamma-radiated TSA plates stored at room temperature, meeting the standards of USP . Instances where plates are crucial include: **Initial Competency Evaluation** Staff involved in compounding in Categories 1, 2, and 3 must undergo an initial competency evaluation. This involves visual observation and gloved fingertip and thumb sampling of both hands before commencing compounding. Personnel involved in compounding must consistently demonstrate garbing competency based on their Category. For Category 1 and 2 CSPs, a garbing competency evaluation is required every 6 months, while Category 3 CSPs must conduct it at least once every 3 months. **Aseptic Manipulation Competency** Surface sampling is a component of aseptic manipulation competency, mandated initially and at least every 6 months for Category 1 and 2 CSPs, and initially and at least every 3 months for Category 3 CSPs. **Microbiological Air and Surface Monitoring Program** Viable volumetric airborne particulate sampling and surface sampling are integral to the microbiological air and surface monitoring program. Viable air sampling for entities compounding Category 1 and 2 CSPs must be completed at least every 6 months; for Category 3, at least monthly thereafter, irrespective of compounding frequency. Surface sampling is conducted at the end of a compounding activity or shift but before the area is cleaned and disinfected. (and it must be conducted in conjunction with media-fill testing to assess aseptic manipulation competency).
