P0002W006 - MicroBio MB2-RSH Installation and Operation Supplement
Operation
!
!
Once installed, the MB2-RSH operates in exactly the same way as a conventional MB2
bioaerosol sampler.
!
!
For operation instructions, please refer to the MicroBio Manual, document number
P0001W003.

Cleaning and bio-decontamination
!
!
The control unit and the remote sampling head may both be cleaned using conventional
sanitising wipes, such as Tuffie-5 or 70% IPA.
!
!
As the remote sampling head will normally be fixed within a compartment, it is suitable for
use with Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (H
2
O
2
vapour) bio-decontamination.
!
!
Tests have been carried out by Bioquell (UK) Ltd on sensitive electronic equipment to
determine effects of such processes. The conditions of these tests were:
!
!
!
Gas Concentration
! !
1000 ppm
!
!
Conditioning time
! !
20 minutes
!
!
Gassing time
!!
!
30 minutes
! !
!
Aeration time
!!
!
150 minutes
!
!
As the MicroBio MB2-RSH has a fan within the remote head it is recommended that during
the decontamination process the MicroBio MB2-RSH is set to sample 2000 litres several
times so that the H
2
O
2
vapour may be drawn through the head, fan and exhaust for
optimum decontamination.
!
!
Throughout the trials, Bioquell demonstrated that bio-decontamination with H
2
O
2
vapour
does not appear to be detrimental in any way, effect operational aspects or aesthetics of
sensitive electronic equipment.
!
!
As the control panel will not normally be exposed to bio-contaminants as the remote head,
cleaning using sanitising wipes may suffice, but it is also suitable for use within H
2
O
2
vapour environments.
