Section 5 - General Cautions
5.1 Caution Notes
• Following initial installation, the unit must be thoroughly tested and certified.
• All activities to be performed within the cabinet should be approved by a biological
safety officer or other qualified individual.
• Since the HEPA filters remove particulates only (not gas), explosive/flammable
substances should never be used in the cabinet, unless approved and monitored by a
biological safety officer or other qualified individual.
• Ultra-violet lighting should not be used while personnel are using the cabinet. If
exposure cannot be avoided the proper safety gear/clothing must be worn. Consult a
biological safety officer or other qualified individual for proper procedures.
• If the cabinet is to be used for biological or toxicological applications, it must be
monitored by a biological safety officer or other qualified individual.
• If the unit needs to be serviced, it must be decontaminated to protect service personnel
from contamination. The cabinet must then be recertified by a qualified certifying
agency.
• None of the perforations in the work area may be covered or blocked, as air flow will
be disrupted and contamination may occur.
• Paper catches should always be kept free of debris
