IV Hoods, or portable clean room hoods, provide a positive
pressure enclosure to protect the product from cross-contamination
of airborne particulates. IV Hoods supply reduced particulate air
to the work space creating an ISO Class 5 cleanroom environment
suitable for IV Bag preparation. Healthcare professionals should
prepare IV bags in a sterile environment in order to produce the
highest quality product as well as safeguard patients’ health and
Safety.
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.
To protect the product and patient, medical professionals must
follow best practices for IV preparation. The FDA does not regulate
IV bag preparation but suggests following the USP 797 guidelines.
USP 797 specifies best practices as following aseptic techniques
and utilizing a vertical laminar flow hood that furnishes ISO Class 5
clean air. IV Hoods, or laminar flow hoods, offer a solution for safe IV
Preparation.
The 30” Wide IV Hood creates a clean work enclosure for IV bag
preparation through a positive pressure or vertical laminar flow
pattern. A vertical laminar flow pattern forms when the system
draws in ambient air through the dual stage filtration system
supplying clean air to IV Hood. The dual stage filtration system
contains a pre-filter and choice of the main filter – HEPA filter which
offers up to 99.97% efficiency on particles down to 0.3 microns or
ULPA filter which maintains up to 99.995% efficiency on particles
down to 0.12 microns. The 30” Wide IV Hood features a stainless
steel IV bag rod for convenient and sterile temporary storage.
