Laminar Flow Hood IV Hood USP 797

The 17” IV Hood provides a sterile workspace ideal for preparing
and spiking IV bags. IV preparation entails compounding medication, vitamins, and supplements into an intravenous fluid to be supplied directly to the bloodstream. IV or infusion therapy has grown in popularity for outpatient services and offers immediate therapeutic responses to treat a variety of medical conditions.

Preparing IV bags in a sterile workspace that meets
USP 797 helps prevent cross-contamination of IV bags, aids in
protecting patient safety, and preserves the medication’s quality.

For advance spiking of IV bags, facilities must use a USP 797-certified solution that provides ISO Class 5 cleanroom air in a unidirectional airflow. For immediate use, portable clean rooms or reduced particulate workspaces with ISO Class 5 air can help prevent IV bag contamination. Following aseptic techniques and using proper engineering controls for IV bag prep helps preserve medication quality and protect patients’ safety.

Particle Size Maximum # of Particles
≥ 0.1 µm 100,000
≥ 0.2 µm 23,700
≥ 0.3 µm 10,200
≥ 0.5 µm 3,520

IV Hoods, or Laminar Flow Clean Benches, provide an ISO Class 5 environment. In order to meet ISO Class 5 standards, the filtration system must meet strict limits on the maximum number of particles sized 0.1 to 0.5 microns per cubic feet in the air. The number of particles must be limited to ensure a clean and hygienic work surface for IV bag infusion or preparation. The ISO standard limits on particles for an ISO Class 5 cleanroom are detailed in the table.
