Loading, please wait...In December 2019 the adoption of United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 800, in conjunction with other existing legal and regulatory standards, will require providers of certain cytotoxic cancer treatments to provide off site collection systems for waste from patients that may contain hazardous materials or their metabolites in order to ensure that they are properly handled and disposed of in the same manner as the parent compound. This course gives the history of why these regulations were put in place, who is responsible, and how to solve this problem in a safe compliant and cost-effective standard of care. We discuss how patients undergoing live saving treatments can protect their families, caregivers and the environment from the cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs as they exit the body.
