Synopsis
Cleanrooms no matter how they are constructed or configured—all must serve the same purpose, which is to provide atmospheric conditions that will protect compounded sterile preparations and compounding personnel.1 This is also true of compounding operations that forgo the “traditional” configuration of a primary engineering control (PEC) surrounded by a secondary engineering control (SEC), opting instead for a compounding aseptic isolator (CAI) in a non-ISO classed location (i.e., segregated compounding area).
