Cleaning
Outside the LFGI
The outside of the LFGI can be cleaned at any time while the unit is closed and the
procedure does not require Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) additional to that
normally used when operating the LFGI. The stainless steel should be cleaned using a 70%
alcohol solution or a solution specifically designated for the cleaning of stainless steel. The
acrylic front and side panels should be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, or a
solution specifically designated for the cleaning of acrylic surfaces.
It is important to
never
use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the acrylic components.
Additionally, the acrylic should not be cleaned with any solution stronger than 50% ethyl or
70% isopropyl alcohol. Do not use glass cleaner with ammonia.
Inside the LFGI
The stainless steel interior should be cleaned using a Sterile 70% alcohol solution or a
disinfectant approved on surfaces for critical environments and controlled areas.
If the LFGI runs under Positive Pressure, open the front access window and allow the LFGI
to continue running during cleaning process. If the LFGI is under negative pressure the
front access window should NOT be opened for cleaning.
See the Appendices for more detailed instruction.
Operation
Safety and Additional Training
In addition to the items previously in “Safety, Operation and Additional Professional
Training” the successful use of the Laminar Flow Glovebox /Isolator depends on several
factors, especially good practices and advanced planning. Providing good equipment will
produce good results only if the personnel using the equipment employ proper technique. It
is, therefore, the responsibility of the manager to train the personnel who will use the LFGI
and see that good technique is maintained. If this is not done, a false sense of safety and
cleanliness may prevail.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
