IV Hood

IV Hoods provide a positive-pressure enclosure to protect the product and users from cross-contamination of airborne particulate. IV Hoods supply reduced particulate air to the workspace, creating an ISO Class 5 cleanroom environment suitable for IV Bag preparation. Healthcare professionals should prepare IV bags in a sterile environment to produce the highest quality product and safeguard patients’ health and safety.

Laminar flow cabinets create a clean work enclosure for IV bag preparation through a positive pressure or horizontal laminar flow pattern. A horizontal laminar flow pattern forms when the system draws in ambient air through the HEPA filter and supplies clean air to the IV Hood. Horizontal laminar airflow means the air moves in the same direction at a constant velocity to help minimize disruptions to the compounding process. The IV Hood features a stainless steel IV Bag rod for convenient and sterile temporary storage. Rods are available with 7 or 10 hooks, depending on the size of the hood. Optional carts are also available to improve the portability of the system.

IV Preparation

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.

For advance spiking of IV bags, facilities must use a USP 797-certified solution that provides ISO Class 5 cleanroom air in a unidirectional airflow. For immediate use, portable clean rooms or reduced particulate workspaces with ISO Class 5 air can help prevent IV bag contamination. Following aseptic techniques and using proper engineering controls for IV bag prep helps preserve medication quality and protect patients’ safety.

Particle Size	Maximum # of Particles
≥ 0.1 µm	100,000
≥ 0.2 µm	23,700
≥ 0.3 µm	10,200
≥ 0.5 µm	3,520

IV Hoods, or Laminar Flow Clean Benches, provide an ISO Class 5 environment. In order to meet ISO Class 5 standards, the filtration system must meet strict limits on the maximum number of particles sized 0.1 to 0.5 microns per cubic feet in the air. The number of particles must be limited to ensure a clean and hygienic work surface for IV bag infusion or preparation. The ISO standard limits on particles for an ISO Class 5 cleanroom are detailed in the table.

Laminar Flow Hood Cleaning

Proper cleaning procedures of the IV hood can help preserve medication quality. Procedures include cleaning, disinfecting, and applying a sporicidal agent to the hood as well as nearby surfaces. Operators should follow the outlined steps below to properly prevent contamination to the IV Hood.

Clean – First, wipe down the hood with sterile water and low-lint wipers. Then, in order to remove residue, dirt, and debris, operators must use a cleaning agent on all surfaces of the interior of the hood.
Disinfect – Remove fungi, viruses, and bacteria with a sterile disinfectant such as sterile 70% IPA.
Dry – Allow surfaces to air dry fully before beginning compounding procedures.

All surfaces in the IV Hood must be cleaned and disinfected at the beginning and end of shifts as well as when contamination is suspected. However, the horizontal work surface in an IV hood must be cleaned and disinfected every 30 minutes or in between compounding activities, if one compounding activity takes longer than 30 minutes.

Other surfaces near the IV Hood should be cleaned on a schedule to prevent contamination. Sinks, pass-through chambers, areas outside of the hood, and floors need to be cleaned and disinfected daily. However, the walls, doors, door frames, ceilings, storage bins, and shelving only need to be cleaned and disinfected monthly.

For all surfaces, including inside the IV Hood, a sporicidal agent must be applied on a monthly basis to remove bacterial and fungal spores.

Surface Sampling

Monthly surface sampling helps check for proper cleaning and disinfecting methods. Sampling is taken after compounding but before cleaning the areas. Areas to sample include interior of the hood, area near the hood, equipment in the hood, frequently touched areas, and pass-through chambers. After sampling, areas need to be cleaned and disinfected.

Q&A

What is laminar air flow?

Laminar air flow is when a stream of constant air is provided with the same speed and direction, with no crossover of air stream. The Vertical Laminar Flow Hood is rated as an ISO Class 5 clean room cabinet. It protects the process by utilizing a vertical laminar flow pattern and dual-stage filtration system that delivers positive-pressure, purified air through a pre-filter and main filter. The main filter is typically either a HEPA or ULPA filter depending on the efficiency desired. The HEPA filter is up to 99.97% efficient on particles 0.3 microns and larger, while the ULPA filter is up to 99.9995% efficient on particles 0.12 microns and larger.
