5.6 Installation test on the Fortuna cabinets
The Fortuna cabinets must go through a series of test after installation has been finalized before
being released for normal operation.
As a minimum the following tests must be performed with satisfactory results:
Leak test of downflow HEPA filter
Downflow air velocity
Alarm settings (downflow alarms)
Smoke pattern test
The above mentioned tests are all associated with the safe operation of the cabinet. General
functionality is checked ad Hoc
To ensure optimal function and performance of the cabinet, the parameter values found in the
Factory test report must be used as close as possible. An installation test report covering all
necessary tests exists and can be acquired on demand from LaboGene.
The operational safety of the cabinet is guaranteed only, if all safety functions of the
cabinet have been tested and approved.
LaboGene will not warrant the operational safety if the cabinet is operated without
the required installation tests, or if these tests and are not performed by adequately
trained personnel.
The initial operation with subsequent installation test does not include any
decontamination measures. The working chamber and any accessories required
must be disinfected and cleaned in accordance with the hygiene guidelines set forth
for the desired application.
