"As the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the state, we wanted to set the standard for implementing a system that would protect our staff, patients and patient family members. We chose PhaSeal because of it's extensive list of clinical evidence and it's proven track record as 'The Gold Standard' in safe handling."
-Leah A. Scaramuzzo, MSN, RN,C, AOCN Oncology Education Specialist The Cancer Institute of New Jersey
"We elected to move to the PhaSeal system after evaluating the literature as well as doing surface and personnel sampling for the presence of chemotherapy. Our organization felt this was a significant safety issue for our employees and determined that we needed to do everything possible to limit exposure to these hazardous drugs. With PhaSeal being the only truly closed system currently available on the market, we felt this provided us with the best protective option to prevent release of these agents into the environment."
-James A. Jorgenson, RPh, MS, FASHP, Administrative Director for Pharmacy Services University of Utah Health Care
“The oncology nurses who use PhaSeal in our practice have a stronger sense of safety and appreciate the institution’s commitment to protecting them within the work environment.”
-Kerry Mahar, RN, MSN, AOCN Nurse Educator - Heme/Onc/BMT Brigham & Women’s Hospital
"A closed-system tool was needed to complete our system-wide initiative of creating the safest environment possible for our patients and staff who work with hazardous agents. A closed-system device is as integral as a biological safety cabinet is for pharmacy and gowning and gloving is for nursing. We delayed the use of PhaSeal as we wanted to compare it with other recently approved systems (especially one system which was made by the manufacturer of our IV pumps). The reality was that we believe PhaSeal is the only true closed system and had the most data and experience worldwide."
-Tom Carey, Pharm D Director of Pharmacy Services Swedish American Hospital
"PhaSeal reassures [our nurses] that we have put safety measures in place to protect our employees." -Jill Wolken, RN, BSN, OCN Manager, Inpatient Mercy Medical Center
"PhaSeal protects my staff during preparation, our nurses and our patient's family members during administration." -Stephen T. Smith, RPh, MS, FASHP Director, Pharmacy Services Karmanos Cancer Center
“The results of our study with PhaSeal were so compelling, that it became an easy decision to implement PhaSeal.”
-Byron Peters, RPh, Director of Pharmacy Siteman Cancer Center
“PhaSeal actually allows us to work quicker and safer.”
-Susan Spivey, Pharm D ATC Pharmacy Manager, Division of Pharmacy MD Anderson Cancer Center
"PhaSeal is very easy to use. After having only one demonstration, our nurses intuitively knew how to use the system plus they actually worked more efficiently because they knew they were being protected."
-Leah A. Scaramuzzo, MSN, RN,C, AOCN Oncology Education Specialist The Cancer Institute of New Jersey
"Chemotherapy in domestic animals is nothing like what it is for people. Dose Intensity and Dose Frequency are greatly reduced. There is no compromise in quality of life just to extend it. PhaSeal has allowed me to treat my patients with the highest regard for the safety of my staff."
