1.0 General Description
1.1 Description
The Allergard™ Model NU-608 Class I Animal Bedding Disposal Cabinet is a product resulting from the latest
design innovations, highest quality and newest product features that the Animal Research Professional
demands. The NU-608, with the spacious 14-inch (356mm) work access opening, provides personnel protection
for handling low to moderate risk material, minimizing the risk of exposure to allergens and animal infections
for the laboratory staff. Because a Class I cabinet allows room air to flow over the work surface, the cabinet
does not provide a sterile environment for cage cleaning activity. Refuse disposal bag access is also provided
within the work zone area maintaining containment during the bag installation and removal process.
The NU-608 meets the requirements of a Class I, since the cabinet conforms to the following requirements:
1. Maintains a minimum inflow velocity of 100 LFPM (.51mps) through the work access opening.
2. Discharges air to the outside atmosphere after HEPA filtration.
