1.0 General Information
1.1 Description
The LabGard® Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) Model NU-813 is offered as a Class I Containment Enclosure
equipped with a HEPA filter. In the Class I configuration, the NU-813 provides personnel protection for handling low risk
aerosols and particulate matter. Room air enters the Enclosure, flowing past the operator into the work access opening
providing an air barrier which minimizes contaminants generated within the enclosure work zone from migrating into the
room. The air flows through the enclosure carrying contaminants with it, exiting through a HEPA filter.
