The main routes of exposure are inhalation of aerosolized drug, ingestion, injection, and dermal absorption.
The external contamination and cross-contamination by cytotoxic drugs on the surface of tested vials. These results suggest that contact with HD-contaminated surfaces is the most probable cause of transdermal exposure. Read more
“Based on the results of this study, only two out of the six closed system transfer device brands passed testing criteria for both tasks, functioning as truly closed systems. EQUASHIELD contained the NIOSH approved surrogates, demonstrating prevention of vapor release.” Read more

Repetitive motions increase risk for developing joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. This increases the risk for fatigue, sickness absence, disability, and mistakes in medication administration.
