NuAire’s PharmaGard NU-797 Compounding Aseptic & Containment Isolators are engineered to maximize work production by providing a comfortable and ergonomically correct environment.

PharmaGard Compounding Aseptic (CAI) and Containment (CACI) Isolators are designed to provide a sterile work environment for the compounding of hazardous and non-hazardous drugs. Pharmagard creates true HEPA filtered laminar airflow at 20 air changes per minute within both the work zone and interchange areas to assure ISO Class 5 conditions. Utilizing laminar flow assures a continuous stream of HEPA filtered air across the work zone and interchange areas assuring sterility and minimizing cross contamination. Once the air is through the work area, the airflow is split from front to rear. The airflow then proceeds under the work tray, up the rear divider panel where it is re-circulated or exhausted.

The PharmaGard PR creates a positive pressure clean air [ISO Class 5] controlled environment specifically for aseptic compounding of non-hazardous drugs. The HEPA filtered work area maintains a positive pressure relative to the interchange compartment, which operates at a positive air pressure relative to the surrounding room. These two levels of protection minimize the possibility of contamination migrating into the work zone.

The PharmaGard NR and NTE create a negative pressure clean air [ISO Class 5] controlled environment for the aseptic compounding of hazardous drugs. The HEPA filtered interchange compartment maintains a negative pressure relative to the work area, which operates at a negative air pressure relative to the surrounding room. These levels of protection minimize the possibility of chemotherapy agents or other hazardous materials migrating from the work area into the surrounding room as well as minimizing the possibility of contamination migrating into the work zone.

The counter balance window system is hidden within the inter-chamber wall away from sterile product. The window is easily moved up and down with the use of one finger. NR and NTE units feature a security lock system to ensure the outer door can not be opened while the transfer window is open.

Located in the transfer compartment, the sliding work tray provides a seamless transition when entering compounding materials into the work zone. The stainless steel work tray is mounted on ball bear brackets to smoothly enter compounding materials into the sterile work area.

Once a sharps waste container has been filled and is ready for replacement, PharmaGard now allows the end user to individually change out each container when needed. By pulling the handle and releasing the locking mechanism, pull down and out the container tray, remove the container blocks allowing you to remove the container from the guides and replace.

The PharmaGard is ergonomically designed to maximize knee/thigh clearance, improving posture, the adjustable base stand allows for leg and upper body support. Expanded vision zone offers greater visibility with cool white lighting and open sight lines. The large work zone helps reduce arm / neck / shoulder strain, the large oval glove ports extend the reach of the user, and three IV bar locations provide proper compounding height/distance.
