Germfree LFGI-3USP, User Manual

Page: 42 / 85

Inside the LFGI
A disinfectant cleaner should be used, followed by 70% alcohol. This cleaning method, when
properly performed, prevents dripping of dirty solution onto cleaned surfaces and does not
carry contaminants from surfaces near the open front of the work area to the rear. It is
recommended to clean the airlock prior to the work area.
1. If a Positive Pressure LFGI, open the front access window.
If under Negative Pressure see Note on Page 40.
2. Spray disinfectant cleaner on a lint-free cleaning wipe. Wipe the filter diffuser in the
top of the work area wiping from side to side, overlapping strokes. Work outward
from back to front.
Do not spray cleaners directly at the Supply HEPA filter- always spray the cleaner onto the
cleaning wipe then clean the filter protector surface.
3. Spray the back wall of the work area. Wipe the wall beginning at the top and wipe
top to bottom using overlapping strokes working downward toward the work
surface and wipe the rear air return grill. Work sideways from left to right.
4. Spray the sides of the work area. Using overlapping strokes, wipe top to bottom
working downward toward the work surface. Be sure to clean the entire airlock door
surface that is exposed to the inside of the work area, including the handle.
5. Slide the left tray over the right tray; spray the interior bottom surface of the isolator.
Clean by wiping from the back to the front using overlapping strokes. Be sure to
clean the sides and back under the sliding work tray and air return grill. Do not spray
cleaners directly at the Exhaust HEPA filter- always spray the cleaner onto the cleaning wipe then
clean the filter protector surface.
6. Slide both work trays to the left and repeat procedure #5 on the right side. Sliding
work trays are removable for cleaning if preferred (simply lift them out).
7. Spray the sliding work tray and wipe using a side to side motion overlapping strokes
working from back to front, and clean all inside and outside edges.
8. Slide the clean tray to the side and repeat the procedure on the other tray.
9. Remove glove sleeves and spray the inside of the open front access window. Using
overlapping strokes, clean from top to bottom.
10. Spray a clean wipe with disinfectant cleaner and use it to clean glove ports.
