For aerospace and defense companies manufacturing critical components, quality assurance is crucial. The slightest defect or particle contamination can compromise the safety and reliability of the final product. Therefore, having the right systems in place to assure quality is essential. 

Safety is Top Priority. Compliance is Essential. Will you be ready by November 2023?

Revised standards for USP General Chapter <797> for compounded sterile preparation (CSP) have been finalized and have an estimated effective date of Nov 1, 2023. These revisions will also affect USP <800> where hazardous drug (HD) compounding is applicable. Both standards include environmental monitoring and management requirements that were not previously enforced and must be met to achieve accreditation through local and national governing bodies come November 2023. Understanding the conditions and monitoring requirements is critical in ensuring compliance.

There are many major benefits to be gained from the implementation of a Setra Continuous Environmental Monitoring System (CEMS). The use cases shown below exemplify the ongoing value delivered through this secure, highly available, cloud-based, real-time environmental monitoring, alarming, reporting and data collection platform. 

Setra Systems will be exhibiting at the AHR Expo in Las Vegas from January 31 through February 2. In addition to our extensive HVAC and Critical Environments lines, this year Setra will be unveiling several new and exciting products. Come by and see Setra at booth C5712!

It is commonly assumed that organizations need to choose between NIST and ISO. Neither is better than the other and can both be used simultaneously.

Analyzing trends in data is an important aspect of environmental monitoring for facilities.

Cleanrooms are highly regulated environments that require the continuous monitoring of particle counts. In manufacturing cleanrooms, the safety and quality of products can be affected if too many particles enter the space. Setra’s CEMS provides a solution for environmental data, including particle counting, monitoring and recording needs required by various industries such as:

Cleanrooms are among the most strictly regulated critical environments, often continuously monitoring temperature, differential pressure, and relative humidity, in addition to the size and quantity of every particle. Continuous environmental monitoring helps ensure the quality of products manufactured in those clean spaces.

Setra's Continuous Environmental Monitoring Solution (CEMS) is an adaptive system of hardware and web-based software providing access to environmental data in real-time. Setra's proprietary CEMS software accepts flexible data inputs and integrates analog and digital hardware, providing a 24/7 centralized monitoring solution with user-friendly data visualizations. With CEMS, users not only monitor environmental data but also visualize trends and issue alarms, demonstrating patterns in data to influence strategic actions.
