For re-circulating type safety cabinets press the ‘fumigate’ button to complete cycle and
open the manual shut-off damper on the fumigation adaptor kit (Optional) having first
fitted the extract tubing and placed the discharge point in a location approved by the
Laboratory Safety Officer.
** When fumigating a re-circulating type safety cabinet where venting is unobtainable,
a mobile carbon filter unit may be required. **
Ø
Switch on the cabinet and then remove the sealing tape. To avoid formaldehyde being
drawn out of the cabinet remove the rubber bung when using a 100% sealing closure
panel.
Ø
Within the first few minutes of purging, the majority of the formaldehyde gas within
the safety cabinet will be removed. However due to the fact that formaldehyde
adheres to the surfaces of the cabinet and within the media of HEPA
filters,
we
recommend that the cabinet be run for between 4 and 6 hours before the cabinet is
serviced or work re-commences.
Ø
Remove the (optional) fumigation kit from the cabinet discharge before
commencing to use the cabinet.
** Any poly-formaldehyde residue in the vaporiser may be removed by heating with water
containing a little mild detergent at neutral pH.
General Note
Other methods of generating formaldehyde and other methods of cabinet decontamination
can be employed; prior to using alternative methods your Laboratory Safety Officer should be
consulted. Contained Air Solutions will be pleased to advise if they are able, but a detailed
knowledge of every technique cannot be guaranteed.
If your cabinet is fitted with ports to allow fumigation using Vaporised Hydrogen
Peroxide (VHP) please refer to the VHP equipment manufacturer’s manual for the
correct application of this technique.
