Replace the pre-filter, with the seal facing up, loading it from the front of the unit.
Follow power up procedures for use.
Note: It is recommended that pre-filters are changed once-monthly during regular use.
For healthcare facilities Infection Control Protocols should be established for filter
changes of both filters when used for isolation of an identified hot patient.
Note: We recommend changing the modular filter annually to maintain peak
performance during standard purification uses; it is recommended that you document
your filter changes in a log, either in the one provided in the product manual or one that
you develop to maintain a schedule.
6.5 Replacement of the Germicidal UV Bulb
The Germicidal UV bulb installed in the RxAir 3000 is rated at a life cycle of
8000 hours. An infection control protocol should be established regarding
the frequency of changing of a new bulb for service life. All uv bulbs lose a
percentage of effectiveness through the life cycle. The manufacturer rates
this loss at no greater than 20% over its life.
Remove the old bulb from the bulb receptacle first, by twisting it 90 degrees
in either direction and second, by pulling the bulb downward. Follow your
facility disposal protocols with consideration as to how the RxAir unit was
used.
Install the new bulb, taking special care to handle the bulb at each metal
end; touching the glass will decrease the life of the bulb. Insert the bulb and
then twist it 90 degrees to secure in place.
WARNING: This system contains a germicidal UV light that is inactive
when the blower is not running. Additionally, there is a dual safety switch
that allows the unit to run –only when the back panel is secured. This
safety system should not be by-passed as direct viewing of uv can
seriously damage your eyesight.
