With Oncology becoming a larger part of the veterinary profession, it is important to address the issue of chemotherapy contamination in the workplace. Mixing intravenous chemotherapy can lead to dangerous chemical exposures to veterinary office staff, with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) warning that “working with or near hazardous drugs in health care settings may cause skin rashes, infertility, miscarriage, birth defects and possibly leukemia or other cancers.”
In light of this, The Apothecary Shops is proud to be the exclusive veterinary distributor of the PhaSeal System by Carmel Pharma – the only clinically proven closed-system drug transfer device (CSTD) for the safe preparation, administration and disposal of hazardous drugs.
The System’s airtight Expansion Chamber and leakproof Double Membrane connections prevent exposure to hazardous liquids, aerosols and vapors, making it the only device that meets the NIOSH and International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners (ISOPP) definition of a true CSTD. As such, PhaSeal also helps keep you compliant with the revised USP <797> safe handling guidelines.
Backed by 14 years and counting of dedicated research, leading edge CSTD development and clinical expertise, PhaSeal also offers:
- Proven Efficacy: Validation by 20 independent, peer-reviewed, published clinical studies allows you to work with confidence
- Full Spectrum Protection: Universal compatibility with all standard drug vials and all brands of infusion sets provides the uncompromised protection you need; compatibility with multi-dose vials means fewer vials to empty, a lower cost per mL of drug and no waste
- Easy to Use, Ergonomic Design: A simple, turn-key motion enables quick, safe manipulations
- Cost Savings: Unique drug-saving design allows you to retrieve all the drug from the vial, thereby minimizing drug loss, maximizing vial efficiency and generating overall cost savings; independent wipe study analyses offer quantitative validation that you’re receiving the protection you expect from your investment
