THE BAKER COMPANY
INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the growing number of customers who own and operate Baker cabinets
and glove boxes. As the inventors of the laminar flow biological safety cabinet and the leaders in the field,
Baker people take special pride in providing a cabinet that is designed for maximum performance.
Your new SterilGARD
®
III cabinet includes many unique features which are included to give you superior
performance, simpler maintenance and lower life cycle cost. The SterilGARD
®
III is a Class II, Type A2
biosafety cabinet that provides personnel, product, and environmental protection. All exterior cabinet seals
are under negative pressure. The SterilGARD
®
III is suitable for research and clinical diagnostic work
involving tissue culturing of possibly infectious samples, IV drug preparations and other pharmaceuticals
that could have adverse health effects on operators and other techniques requiring a contamination-free
atmosphere.
In addition to the high quality you expect from all Baker equipment, this model has been ergonomically
designed to provide the lab user with many exciting design features. The ergonomic design will help
prevent repetitive motion injury, reduce fatigue and lab accidents and enhance productivity.
The adequacy of a cabinet for user safety should be determined on-site by an industrial hygienist, safety
officer or other qualified person. Remember that you, the owner and user, are ultimately responsible and
that you use your cabinet at your own risk.
We recommend that this manual, along with the factory test report, be kept near the cabinet for
convenient reference by operators and qualified maintenance personnel. If you have any questions about
the use or care of your new SterilGARD
®
III cabinet, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer
Service Department at 800-992-2537 for assistance or e-mail us at bakerco@bakerco.com.
Sincerely,
Dennis Eagleson
