Poll: Would you use this Laminar flow hood?

[Old]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

Biological Safety Cabinet, vertical laminar flow hood, that is not vented to the outside of the building. Air goes through a Hepa filter and blows back into the IV room. Dept of Health(?) inspected it and said it is not safe and does not meet OSHA standards. Would you use it to mix Chemo drugs and feel safe doing so?

Fu** No..

That's for like cell culture, not chemo

Is this a joke?

Wish it were. Unfortunately true.

Srsly.

 

[SpirivaSunrise]

I'll take it for my pharmacy!

 

[BidingMyTime]

Ummm.....no, I would not use, although I suspect a bunch of unsuspecting people would. I must admit, when I mixed chemo, I never checked on how the hoods were vented (although I know their certification was up to date.)--I just assumed they were vented correctly. Shame on the facility/pharmacy that would allow this.

 

[Notecard]

No.

But if a pharmacist told me to I think I would😳

 

[Ackj]

it is not safe and does not meet OSHA standards

There is the answer.

 

[Sparda29]

Holy ****, no!

 

[dragonet]

Absolutely not!

 

[mustang sally]

Um, no.

Though having said that, everyone out there who mixes chemo should make sure they know how the hoods are being vented. Don't assume they are being vented correctly...

I'll be the lone rebel.

Hell, yea!

On hoarders there was a lady that got pleasure from eating ****. The house had to be bulldozed.
