Post-fumigation cleaning
Having performed fumigation, the manipulation of the filters is safe: however, this manipulation should be
carried out by technicians wearing protective gloves and clothing.
Before using the cabinet again any possible remains of the foregoing procedure of vaporization and relevant
neutralization (which can show, for example, as white dust) must be removed from the work chamber.
ATTENTION: for cabinets that are not connected to the outside, but recycling the air in the
environment, make sure that ambient concentration does not exceed 2.5mg/m 3 , as
higher concentrations are harmful.
Faster S.r.l. refuses all responsibility for the performance of such sterilization procedures or of any
possible consequences deriving from it, reminding that the full responsibility for the operation lies
only and exclusively with the properly trained operator-user.
7.D REPLACEMENT OF HEPA FILTERS (by technical assistance personnel)
Important: before replacing HEPA filters, it is absolutely necessary that:
- if pathogens have been manipulated, the cabinet must be decontaminated and the user must
issue a sterilization certificate to the personnel before the start of the operation.
- for the safety of the personnel and the environment, the use of PVC gloves is recommended as
well as the collection of the replaced HEPA filters in polyethylene bags.
