What is a Containment Segregated Compounding Area (C-SCA) primarily used for?

  1. Non-hazardous drugs compounding in an ISO-rated air environment

  2. Hazardous drugs compounding outside a cleanroom suite

  3. Sterile compounding in a cleanroom suite

  4. Non-sterile compounding with a BUD exceeding 12 hours

The correct answer is: Hazardous drugs compounding outside a cleanroom suite

A Containment Segregated Compounding Area (C-SCA) is primarily used for compounding hazardous drugs outside a cleanroom suite. This is important for ensuring the safety of personnel involved in handling hazardous drugs and preventing contamination and exposure to these drugs. C-SCAs are designed to contain and control aerosols, vapors, and particles generated during the compounding of hazardous drugs. This setup helps to protect the pharmacy staff and maintain a safe environment when handling these substances. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not specifically address the primary purpose of a Containment Segregated Compounding Area (C-SCA) for compounding hazardous drugs.
