Vacuum Operation
To ensure that no external atmosphere contaminates the workstation, a single vacuum operation
is required before Glove Port access. To minimise the time, it is recommended to eliminate as
much external atmosphere from the Ezee-Sleeve as possible prior to arm entry. This can be
achieved by compressing the Ezee-Sleeve before inserting the hand and arm as shown in Figure
16
Figure 16: Compressed Ezee-Sleeve for Entry
•
Hold the desired Ezee-Sleeve cuff with the opposite hand.
•
Support the Ezee Cuff, push the hand through the cuff of the Ezee -Sleeve.
•
Insert the arm and grasp the Glove Port handle in preparation for the vacuum stage, using
the foot pedals.
Note
: Failure to grasp the Handle at this stage will make grasping it after the vacuum operation
much more difficult.
