What does CVE stand for and its primary use?

Containment ventilated enclosure used for sterile products
Containment very efficient enclosure for waste disposal
Containment ventilated enclosure for non-sterile products
Continuous ventilation enclosure for temperature control

The correct answer is: Containment ventilated enclosure for non-sterile products

CVE stands for Containment Ventilated Enclosure for non-sterile products. A Containment Ventilated Enclosure is used to protect the operator and the environment from exposure to potentially harmful substances during compounding or handling of non-sterile products in a pharmacy setting. It helps to contain any hazardous particles or vapors produced during the preparation of medications, ensuring a safe working environment for pharmacy personnel and preserving the integrity of non-sterile products. Option A is incorrect because a Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) is typically used for non-sterile products, not sterile products. Option B is incorrect because the primary use of a CVE is not for waste disposal, but rather for the handling and preparation of non-sterile products. Option D is incorrect as well because a Containment Ventilated Enclosure is not primarily used for temperature control but rather for containment and ventilation purposes in pharmacy practice.
