Our trained staff specializes in the preparation of Intrathecal Pain Pump refill syringes. Hobbs Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in Brevard County that few possess the proper facilities, personnel and procedures to safely compound these high-risk prescriptions. According to new USP Guidelines <797>, pharmacies preparing these highly specialized and high-risk prescriptions should meet minimum facility guidelines.

• Primary environmental control must provide at least ISO class 5 quality of air to which sterile ingredients and components of compounded sterile products (CSPs) are directly exposed ... CSP work environment is designed to have the cleanest work surfaces (horizontal or vertical clean benches [LAFWs], biological safety cabinets, or isolators) located in a buffer area, which is preceded by an anteroom that provides a clean area for donning personnel barriers ... buffer or clean-room areas in which LAFWs are located are to provide at least ISO class 8 air quality.

Our state-of-the art facility exceeds these standards, including our ISO Class 7 cleanroom facility (anteroom + cleanroom). The mixing chamber within this facility contains both horizontal and vertical laminar flow hoods. This type of setup should be the minimum criteria for compounding laboratories preparing intrathecal medications.
