Fumigation Procedure – 2.6
Ø
Switch off the cabinet fans by pressing the green button ‘A’ on the control panel.
Ø
For re-circulating type safety cabinets the fumigation extract kit (optional) should be
fitted to the cabinet discharge and ensure that the manual damper is fully closed. For cabinets
connected to a duct system proceed as follows:
§
Fill the formalin vaporiser with the correct amount of Formalin (see section 2.5 for
quantities) and screw on the aluminium cap – finger tight, having checked the gasket in the cap
is undamaged. If the vaporiser is free standing, place on the cabinet work tray, plug into
cabinet internal socket and switch on. Now fit the closure panel / night door, if using a
lightweight closure panel additional sealing tape will be required around the outside face to
ensure no leakage during fumigation.
§
Now press the fumigation button `E’ and the display will show `FUMIGATION IN
PROGRESS’. A countdown timer will be shown directly below in minutes e.g. `285 MINS`.
Warning
Ø
The cabinet should be left for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Note: Once the ‘fumigate’ button has been activated DO NOT SWITCH CABINET ON
until the cycle has been completed.
Ø
On completion the cabinet will display `FUMIGATION COMPLETE` and `READY TO
VENT`. When ready, press the fumigation button to exit the cycle and then press the
green button `A` to purge the cabinet of formaldehyde gas.
Ensure all laboratory personnel are aware that
the fumigation is taking place; appropriate
warning notices should be put on all doors
entering the laboratory and on the cabinet being
fumigated.
