A Hands-free, USP 800 scrub sink, is important to facilitate proper hand washing before donning the gown in the USP 800 pharmacy anteroom. It is important to select the appropriate hand wash/eyewash sink to fit the layout and size of the positive anteroom next to the HD Compounding areas to meet USP’s standards. The USP 800 scrub sink with emergency eyewash is located in the scrub room, to minimize the risk of bringing contaminants into the pharmacy anteroom.
