8: Maintaining Your Axiom Type C1
This section details normal maintenance required for optimal operation of the Axiom
Type C1 biosafety cabinet. This section does not cover service operations beyond
normal maintenance, nor does it cover annual airflow certification procedures. These
advanced sections are found in the Axiom Type C1 Technical Manual.
Maintenance Safety Precautions
The following tools and supplies are required to maintain the equipment:
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
70% alcohol solution (or other approved surface disinfectant)
Paper Towels
The following safety precautions must be followed by all personnel maintaining the
equipment.
Wear safety glasses, and/or additional eye and face protection as required by
your Health & Safety Department.
Wear gloves, and/or additional skin protection as required by the safety
instructions for the specific cleaning/disinfecting chemicals used. Consult your
Health & Safety Department for additional skin protection requirements.
No loose fitting clothes
Wear close-toed shoes
Although the service operations detailed in this section do not involve access to
areas of the product with moving or electrical parts, should you remove any
panels that expose moving or electrical parts, you must follow these instructions
before doing so:
o Disconnect main power cord or electrical service connection
o Never touch moving parts such as fan blades or blower wheels.
Never touch the HEPA (or ULPA) filter media. Touching the media will damage it,
and result in a failure of the filter to function properly and maintain safe
conditions.
