Chapter 4: Theory Of Operation And Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

Because air from the work area is
dispersed directly into the laboratory,
the Purifier Clean Bench should never
be used in conjunction with
biohazardous material, toxins, or
radionuclides. The operator and
qualified safety officer(s) must
carefully assess the risk associated
with any operation performed in a
Clean Bench.

The Purifier Clean Bench should be
certified by a qualified certification
technician before its initial use. The
clean bench should be recertified
whenever it is relocated, serviced, or
at least annually thereafter.

Some components of the Purifier
Clean Bench should only be serviced
by a qualified certification technician.
Ensure that the unit is connected to
electrical service in accordance with
local and national electrical codes.
Failure to do so may create a fire or
electrical hazard. Do not remove or
service any electrical components
without first disconnecting the clean
bench from electrical service.

Avoid the use of flammable gases or
solvents in the clean bench. An open
flame should NOT be used in the clean
bench. Open flames may disrupt the
airflow patterns in the Clean Bench.
Gases under high pressure should not
be used in the Purifier Clean Bench,
as they may disrupt the airflow
patterns.
