Your 503B Outsourcing Facility
Pioneering safe, large-scale compounded medications for advanced healthcare needs
Germfree understands the unique challenges associated with 503B sterile drug compounding
Running a 503B outsourcing facility means compounding sterile drugs at scale, safely, and under FDA scrutiny, all at once. Get any piece of that wrong, efficacy, environmental control, USP <797>/<800> compliance, and the risk isn’t just a failed audit, it’s a hazard to the patient at the other end. Every outsourcing facility answers to FDA cGMP requirements, and the facility itself has to be built to make meeting them the default, not the exception.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 503B outsourcing facility?
A 503B outsourcing facility is an FDA-registered site that compounds sterile drugs at scale under cGMP regulations, rather than one-at-a-time for an individual patient. 503B facilities must follow FDA cGMP requirements, unlike 503A compounding pharmacies, which operate under different regulatory standards.
What’s the difference between a mobile and a modular compounding pharmacy?
A Mobile Compounding Pharmacy is a trailer-based, USP <797>/<800> compliant facility built for urgent capacity increases or as temporary swing space during pharmacy renovations. A Modular Compounding Pharmacy is a prefabricated cleanroom facility designed for longer-term capacity needs across an individual hospital or an entire health system.
What compliance standards do Germfree’s compounding facilities meet?
Germfree’s mobile and modular compounding pharmacies are built to USP <797>/<800>, CETA CAG-003-2006, and applicable cGMP and ISO cleanroom classification standards (ISO 5, 7, and 8 rooms, depending on configuration).
What applications do Germfree’s 503B outsourcing solutions support?
Germfree’s mobile and modular compounding platforms support 503B Outsourcing, Hospital Compounding, Radiopharmaceuticals, and Hazardous Drugs applications.
What equipment is used in Germfree’s compounding facilities?
Compounding operations are supported by Germfree’s primary engineering controls (PECs), including Biosafety Cabinets, Laminar Flow Hoods, Compounding Aseptic Isolators (CAI), Compounding Aseptic Containment Isolators (CACI), Powder Hoods, and Material Pass-Throughs, built with 304L/316L stainless steel construction.
Can Germfree’s compounding facilities handle both hazardous and non-hazardous drugs?
Yes. Germfree’s mobile and modular compounding pharmacies are designed to handle both hazardous and non-hazardous materials within the same aseptic compounding environment.
