Preface
Safety, Operation and Additional Professional Training
The Stainless Steel Laminar Flow Glovebox /Isolator (LFGI) provides a contained
environment that allows for greater protection for both personnel and product than
traditional open front laminar flow equipment. However, this protection can only be
achieved through proper technique. The following is a list of topics that may apply to your
operation. Many of these items may require additional professional study and practice
beyond the information found in this manual.
1. Operation of the Laminar Flow Glovebox /Isolator
2. Understanding HEPA particulate filtration
3. Proper operator technique
4. Understanding chemical compatibilities for proper glove selection
5. Understanding chemical compatibilities for proper “cleaning” and “sterilization”
6. Understanding chemical compatibilities for proper “decontamination”
7. Understanding sterile product preparation and aseptic technique
8. Understanding hazards associated with the products handled in the Laminar Flow
Glovebox /Isolator
9. Understanding proper maintenance and initial and periodic certification
10. Understanding Federal, State and Local applicable professional regulations.
The Laminar Flow Glovebox /Isolator does not automatically provide a clean, sterile and
safe working environment. In order for the LFGI to provide the required work environment
a professional understanding of the above 10 items along with a complete understanding of
the tasks to be performed is essential.
To obtain this information and understanding may require additional professional
training. If you need assistance in finding Professional Pharmacy Organizations
