Ensure Competency in Aseptic Technique Assessments
Qualification of personnel performing media fill tests and gloved fingertip sampling is a critical component of competency assessments in sterile compounding facilities. The ability to interpret results accurately, recognize contamination, ensure consistency, and maintain attention to detail directly affects the reliability of these evaluations.
A clear understanding of what constitutes contaminated media is essential, as it significantly influences both the integrity of the testing process and the overall effectiveness of the training and competency program.

Interpreting Media Fill and Gloved Fingertip Samples Online Training, developed by QUESS 360 – Pharmacy Solutions in collaboration with U.S. Micro-Solutions, Inc., is the first online program to include a competency assessment specifically designed for personnel responsible for interpreting media fill and gloved fingertip sample results.
