Webinar Overview

This engaging session breaks down CETA’s CAG-011 and CAG-013 guidance in a practical, approachable way, connecting gloved fingertip testing and media fill testing to real-world sterile compounding competency and the certifier. Participants will explore how these two evaluations work together to assess garbing, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, and patient safety.

Learning Objectives

• Explain the purpose of CAG-011 and CAG-013 and how each supports competency assessment for sterile compounding personnel.
• Differentiate between gloved fingertip testing and media fill testing, including what each test evaluates and why both are important.
• Apply key concepts from CAG-011 and CAG-013 to strengthen training, documentation, and compliance practices in sterile compounding environments.
