Routine Maintenance Schedule

Weekly

• Wipe down the interior surfaces of the glove box with a disinfectant

or cleaner, depending upon the application.

• Using an appropriate cleaner and cloth, clean the exterior surfaces of

the glove box, particularly the front and top, to remove any
accumulated dust.

• Chart the pressure decay of the glove box, noting the change in

pressure over short time periods. Adjust as necessary for temperature
and barometric pressure changes. See Chapter 3: Validating the
Glove Box
.

• If required, monitor and record oxygen and moisture levels inside the

glove box with accessory monitors (see Chapter 7).


Annually

• Replace the fluorescent lamp.
• Have the glove box certified by a qualified technician. See

Certification and Recertification in Chapter 6.
