One literal application of Chapter <797> definitions would be performing all sterile compounding inside an ISO Class 5 device. The chapter lists four such devices: laminar airflow workbenches (LAFWs), biological safety cabinets (BSCs), compounding aseptic isolators (CAIs), and compounding aseptic containment isolators (CACIs).
