In the Medium Risk category, which action represents an example?

The action of transferring drug volumes from multiple vials into one sterile container represents an example of Medium Risk compounding because it involves a process where multiple sterile products are combined. In this category, the potential for contamination increases as multiple vials are utilized. The Medium Risk level is characterized by the need to prepare sterile compounded products where the compounding process involves multiple components that are typically not used immediately, potentially allowing for a risk of contamination in the preparation environment.

This option involves careful manipulation of several sterile drug products to prepare a final compounded solution. It necessitates strict adherence to sterile techniques to ensure that the final product is free from any microbial contamination.

In contrast, other options either describe scenarios involving lower levels of risk or situations that do not meet the criteria for Medium Risk compounding. For instance, filling device reservoirs with two sterile drug products may not inherently involve the same level of risk when compared to transferring drug volumes from multiple sources. Compounding hydration fluids in an ISO 5 hood qualifies, but the specific action of mixing multiple vials makes option B the best example of Medium Risk compounding. Bedside preparations, while sterile, are often classified in different risk categories based on context.
