Cable Ports (continued)
CAUTION
When removing cables and/or tubes from the interior of the work area, make sure these items are
properly decontaminated first before being removed to the room through the cable port
Start-up Procedure
1.
If the cabinet has not been left running continuously, turn on the blower. An indicator light located
below the switch will illuminate when the switch is on and the running blower will make an audible
sound. Check the readings on the analog pressure gauge; it should read a pressure consistent with the
last time the cabinet was on.
2.
Turn on the fluorescent light. The indicator light below the switch will illuminate along with the interior
work area. (
NOTE: The fluorescent light will not come on unless the blower switch is on. The
fluorescent light and UV light are interlocked so they cannot operate simultaneously.
)
3.
Check to determine that the drain valve is in the closed position or the drain coupling is capped.
4.
If your cabinet has been purchased with the optional UV light, lower the viewscreen to its fully closed
position and turn the UV light on to make sure it is operational. (
NOTE: The UV light option features
an interlock that prohibits its operation unless the viewscreen is fully closed. The fluorescent light
and UV light are also interlocked so they cannot operate simultaneously; see also step #2
)
5.
Wipe down the interior area of the cabinet with surface disinfectant. (
NOTE: Some disinfectants, such
as bleach or iodine, may corrode or stain the steel surfaces. Good practice is to thoroughly clean
the surface afterward with a detergent and rinse with sterile water to prevent corrosion.)
6.
Place all materials to be used for the next procedure inside the cabinet on the solid work surface.
Disinfect the exterior of these materials prior to placing them on the work surface.
Everything
required (and nothing more) should be placed in the cabinet before beginning your work so that nothing
passes in or out through the air barrier, until the procedure is completed. Implements should be arranged
in the cabinet’s work area in logical order so that clean and dirty materials are segregated, preferably on
opposite sides of the work area. Blocking the front and rear perforated grilles must be avoided. If wipes
or absorbent towels are used on the work surface, be sure to keep them away from the grilles.
7.
After your equipment is in place inside the cabinet, adjust the sliding viewscreen so it is open to the
correct opening height (8”, 10” or 12” [203mm, 254mm, or 305mm]). An alarm will signal if you are
not at the proper opening. This is important to maintain proper cabinet airflow.
8.
Ensure that the padded armrest assembly is properly installed. You can begin working in the cabinet
after it has run for at least three minutes with the viewscreen in the proper position.
