Abstract
personnel and process flows, and resulting air flow patterns. Within the BSC critical zone, sites should be in close proximity to operations such as centrally located settle plates and particle sensors not more than 1 foot from the work site. Surface viable sites should be in close proximity to processing activity, at locations contacted by operator gloves, areas where materials transfer from lower classification, and other facility surfaces (e.g. floors, walls) to assess disinfectant efficacy. Suggested sampling frequencies are shown in Tables 1 and 2. EM Levels: Cell therapy areas typically will have ISO 5 BSCs placed within an ISO 7 room with ISO 8 support such as a gowning airlock. This classification scheme is outlined in USP Cellular and Tissue-Based Products. Suggested EM levels for cell therapy aseptic processing are shown in Table 3. Conclusion: Considerations are offered to help cell therapy manufacturers to set-up and an appropriate risk-based EM sampling program that meets criteria of being meaningful, manageable, and defendable.
