ESCO Compounding Isolator

ESCO Compounding Isolator

Streamline® Compounding Isolator (SCI) provides a sterile environment for aseptic preparations. It is factory-configured to operate at positive or negative pressure in a recirculating or total exhaust airflow scheme.

This compounding aseptic/sterile containment isolator (CACI) is designed in compliance with international cGMP standards and classified under Class 3 Leak Tight Containment as per ISO 10648-2.

Positive pressure is intended for handling of sterile non-hazardous materials while negative pressure is for containment of sterile hazardous substances.

The latter is further classified into two, the purposes of which are:

  • N1: factory-configured to provide a more negative pressured pass-through chamber (PTC) in accordance with the CETA guideline for testing compounding isolators.
  • N2: factory-configured to provide a more negative work chamber than the PTC for powder handling applications.

The SCI Total Exhaust or Single Pass unit is especially designed for the handling of hazardous drugs (HDs), especially those exhibiting volatile components, as they are being compounded in healthcare settings. It is negatively pressured to ensure user, product, and environmental protection against hazardous substances.

Meanwhile, the SCI Recirculating unit is factory-figured to run at either negative or positive pressurization, depending on the client’s needs and application. This can be used for the aseptic handling of non-volatile hazardous (negative model) or nonhazardous substances (positive model). It is designed to provide product, operator, and environmental protection against any form of exposure or cross-contamination.
