Storage of Chemotherapy Medications

* RJLG Question 12: If chemotherapy medications are stored in the negative pressure cleanroom, how are refrigerated chemotherapy meds supposed to be stored since refrigerators should not be placed in the clean room? Do we have to build a separate negative pressure area for the refrigerator?

* RJLG Answer 12: Although a separate negative pressure room for bulk storage of all hazardous drugs would be ideal, storage in a negative pressure room is recommended by USP797 but not a current requirement.

All hazardous drugs must be stored separately from other inventory. Hazardous drugs should only be stored in the negative pressure buffer room if they are removed from their cartons and decontaminated in the ante area using appropriate procedures and personal protective equipment, and if the stored quantities are required for supporting your compounding operation. Excessive or bulk storage in the buffer room should be avoided.

Regarding your separate refrigerator for refrigerated hazardous drugs, USP797 states, “Placement of devices in ante areas and buffer areas is dictated by their effect on the designated environmental quality of atmospheres and surfaces, which shall be verified by monitoring.”
