Pharmacy Sterile Compounding Checklist

A pre-compounding and process verification checklist for pharmacy compounding staff preparing sterile preparations in a clean room environment. Covers clean room environmental monitoring, garbing procedure, laminar airflow workbench or isolator preparation, aseptic technique verification, ingredient checks, label verification, and beyond-use dating assignment.

Sterile compounding errors can cause serious patient harm — contaminated infusions, wrong concentrations, or incorrect beyond-use dates have led to patient deaths and facility closures. This checklist enforces the critical controls at each step of the compounding process and creates the batch documentation required for regulatory compliance.
