The LSS conducts on-site compounding facility inspections to ensure compliance with state and federal law, interprets environmental viable airborne particle testing and non-viable environmental testing, deviations from fingertip touch testing and media fill testing, and other tests related to patient/product safety. The LSS will inspect hospital and pharmacy compounding equipment and procedures and determine if the operating standards are in alignment with state and federal laws. In order for the Board to verify the sufficiency of documentation provided by sterile compounding establishments, the Laboratory Scientist Surveyor will review documentation including test reports related to pyrogen and pathogen toxicity, efficacy, and potency, evaluate facility quality control standards, and if required, ensures changes are made to quality control procedures to bring the policies in place to an acceptable standard by assisting in the development of a corrective plan of action. The LSS will also review application documentation that assures that any ingredient used in compounding the drug complies with the standards of the applicable United States Pharmacopeia or National Formulary monograph, or of another compendium or pharmacopeia recognized by the Secretary for the Food and Drug Administration and that the drug is not identified (directly or as a part of a category of drugs) on a FDA list of drug shortages. The Laboratory Scientist Surveyor I will perform the full range of duties under general supervision. The employee also provides policy advice to clinical staff on laboratory workers and technicians on licensing qualifications and also recommend sanctions and disciplinary action if needed.
