USP 800 - ChemoSure

Handling hazardous drugs (HDs) safely is a top priority under USP General Chapter 800, which aims to protect your staff, patients, and the environment. A key part of that is surface wipe testing to prove your cleaning and containment methods are working.

But keeping up with regular monitoring is tough. Juggling different analytes, shipping logistics, and solvent compatibility makes the whole process a burden. ChemoSure was designed to fix this, making routine surface sampling practical and less prone to errors.

What is ChemoSure?

ChemoSure is a complete wipe sampling kit from Eurofins Built Environment Testing in Richmond, VA. It’s made for monitoring hazardous drug residue on surfaces to help you comply with USP 800. It cuts down the hassle of routine monitoring by being simple to use and compatible with a wide range of drugs.

Key Features

• One Swab, Many Drugs: Uses a single swab with a 50/50 methanol/water solution to sample a 100 cm² area.
• Wide Coverage: Detects 19 different hazardous drugs, reporting each one individually.
• Better Platinum Detection: Can tell the difference between cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, rather than just lumping them together as "platinum".
• The Complete Kit: Everything you need is in the box:
• Wetting agent (50/50 methanol/water)
• Swab(s) and 100 cm² template
• Test tube vials
• Chain-of-Custody (COC) forms

A Simple Process for Consistent Results

ChemoSure simplifies the whole process, from sampling to getting your results, taking the load off your staff.

1. Sample: Your technicians just follow the included instructions to take a sample.
2. Ship: They label the sample, drop it off for FedEx pickup, and send it to the lab with the prepaid label.
3. Analyze: The lab sends back clear concentration results for each drug, including the separate platinum types.
4. Act: Your leadership can then spot trends, find hotspots, and fine-tune cleaning protocols.

How ChemoSure Helps You Meet USP 800 Goals

• Less Complexity, Fewer Errors: Using just one swab per location means simpler COC paperwork, less training time, and a lower risk of handling errors.
• No More Logistical Headaches: You get all materials at once (swab, solvent, template, vial, shipping). This creates a uniform sampling method and prevents delays from missing parts.
• Ready for Audits: The built-in COC forms and controlled shipping create the strong data traceability and QA oversight needed for audits.
• Supports a Routine Strategy: The kit is perfect for the common baseline and semiannual sampling approach. Because it’s less of a hassle, your team is more likely to stick with consistent monitoring instead of just doing sporadic tests.
