It Takes the Right Fan Filter Unit to Meet the Stringent
USP 800 Requirements for Pharmacies.
With more than 65,000 pharmacies in the
United States, the looming deadline for
meeting USP 800 regulations - December
1, 2019 - is creating challenges for both
small, independent pharmacies and the
large, national chains.
The new standard establishes the need
for a clean room environment within
any pharmacy that handles a long list of
hazardous pharmaceuticals. That means
major upgrades to tens of thousands of
pharmacies...in a short period of time.

Stringent air change and leak
testing requirements
USP 800 air change requirements
(12-30 times per hour) are 2-3 times more
than previous pharmacy needs. Plus, air
ﬁltration systems must now pass the
kind of ﬁeld leak tests used for hospital
operating rooms and other critical
environments.

Retroﬁtting existing spaces makes
USP 800 compliance even tougher

* The lowest height on the market -
just 13.7" - makes it easier to retroﬁt

A key issue with adding the needed fan
ﬁlter units in existing pharmacy ceilings
is the limited space available. In particular, plenum heights are often too small to
ﬁt the new equipment...and things like
plumbing and lighting can be diﬃcult to
work around.

* Powerful, computer-controlled,
variable speed ECM motor
* Optional built-in LED lights that
maximize limited ceiling space
