5.7 CleanCap
The CleanCap is optional equipment for the epMotion and can only be ordered with a new device. The
CleanCap includes a HEPA filter and a UV lamp.
5.7.1 HEPA filter
The HEPA filter cleans the air in the epMotion workspace. The HEPA filter reduces the amount of particles
such as dust or germs.
The fan continuously draws air out of the ambience and channels it to the HEPA filter. The filtered air flow
will be routed to the epMotion workspace.

workspace to the ambience. The air flow can transport aerosols and contaminate the
ambience.
