The monitoring system is a network of devices that continuously measure and monitor different quality metrics throughout the laboratory, such as differential pressure, humidity levels and temperature. Visible and audible signals will alert staff if any measurements fall out of their normal range, according to a news release issued by JCB.

JCB Laboratories implemented this system in response to the recently passed Drug Quality and Security Act that brings new federal oversight to compounding facilities, according to a news release.
