About the OptiClean™ Negative Air Machine
In addition to being an Air Scrupper, the OptiClean™ is designed to help
convert normal hospital rooms into Airborne Infectious Isolation Rooms
(AIIR). Designed to ASHRAE’s Standard 170 for Ventilation of Health
Care Facilities, the OptiClean™ uses highly efficient filters and a heavy
duty, yet quiet, motor to remove contaminated air from the room via
connected ducting. The resulting negative air pressure, or “vacuum
effect,” helps limit the spread of air-based contaminants into surrounding
areas.
NOTE:
While removing your unit from its packaging, inspect it
carefully. If damage is noted, contact your shipping carrier and file a
claim.
Tools Required
• Box cutter
• 5/16ʺ (8 mm) socket or wrench
• Drill or powered driver
Assemble the Unit
1. Before removing the shipping straps, put the crated unit on its back.
Use two persons if necessary.
2. Remove the straps, then remove the cardboard coverings and
wooden skid.
3. Remove the bottom front door, then the top door over the blower
section.
4. Inspect the HEPA filter and make sure it has not been dislodged or
damaged during shipping, and:
• the side bolts and nuts near each corner are tight and the HEPA
filter is held securely in place
• the seal around the top edge of the filter is in place
5. Remove the flat piece of cardboard from between the pre-filter and
HEPA filter.
6. Make sure the pre-filter is in place and not damaged.
7. Remove the carton of parts from the lower section. You may need
to tilt the carton to get it out.
8. Replace the top door over the blower, then the bottom front door.
NOTE:
The unit can be operated without casters, on its back in a
horizontal orientation, as long as there is sufficient space at either end for
air intake and output. Make sure to properly strap or otherwise secure it
to a base to avoid unintentional movement.
When the unit is mounted horizontally, an additional pre-filter must be
.

plate to the top of the unit (
).
11. Carefully lift the unit to a vertical position on its casters.
HINT
: Lock the casters before lifting or tilting up the unit.
12. Move the unit to its final position and lock all four casters.
13. Use a compression clamp to attach 10- or 12-inch round flexible
ducting (supplied by others) to the transition plate on top of the
unit.
14. Run the flexible ducting as recommended by the mechanical plan
and attach to a transition piece (ceiling register box, etc., purchased
or fabricated on site) to complete a path for the air to exhaust from
the negative-air area. Caulk or tape all seams. Run the flexible duct
per applicable codes and requirements, with no hard bends or
obstructions.
15. Plug the unit into a grounded 115V outlet.
