Abstract(s)

The complexity of antineoplastic preparation increases the risk of errors, thus demanding robust safety systems. Common methods to prevent errors committed during aseptic preparation include double visual verification and gravimetric control (GC), in which the mass of each preparation is determined to ensure product accuracy. The aim of this work is to develop a GC that routinely, quickly, and simply enables quality control of antineoplastic preparations in the Centro Hospitalar de Baixo Vouga (CHBV) hospital unit.
