QUESS P&P
This solution is a reference tool for the personnel working in the compounding sterile preparation sector. This solution offers policies and procedures, as well as signs with text or images.
The policies and procedures were written based on current Canadian standards (NAPRA). A team of consultant pharmacists thoroughly reviewed the policies and procedures to adapt them to current applicable standards, and are updated regularly.
A certain number of signs are summary sheets for procedures. All signs are laminated with high quality waterproof plastic that allow for safe cleaning with the recommended disinfectants.
- Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who perform or supervise the compounding of sterile preparations
- Pleaning personnel such as housekeeping or environmental services staff
- Technical services and maintenance staff
- The policies and procedures, as well as the signs, are available for the non-hazardous compounding sterile preparation sector and for the hazardous compounding sterile preparation sector.
The time pharmacists require to develop policies and procedures can be invested elsewhere such as in clinical services. The QUESS P&P solution will standardize the work methods of all employees, ensure the quality of the compounded sterile preparations and improve the productivity of the personnel.

QUESS CONTROL
BCE Pharma’s QUESS-CONTROL is a solution that permits a complete quality control of the facilities and primary engineering controls through viable and non-viable particle sampling performed by qualified personnel using certified, calibrated and state-of-the-art equipment.
- The viable particle sampling strategy is customized for each facility to meet current standards and best practices for environmental monitoring. Viable particle sampling is used to detect the presence of microorganisms (bacteria, spores, fungus, etc.) in the air and on surfaces within all of the ISO classified environments.
- The non-viable particle sampling provides the certification of the sterile compounding facilities and primary engineering controls in accordance with current NSF and CETA standards.
Smoke tests and HEPA filter integrity tests are performed to validate the proper functioning of the primary engineering controls.
A non-viable particle count and an assessment of the air change rate confirm the ISO classification of the controlled work areas.
Pressure differential, relative humidity and temperature readings are taken in the controlled work areas to ensure that these parameters are within target range and compliant with current standards.
- An overall assessment is carried out combining the results of the viable and non-viable particle sampling and a final report is provided to the client. In the event of non-compliant results, comments, recommendations and assistance are also provided.
