Dusting in the Station
Start-up
Turn the fan switch to “Fan.”
Check the condition of the prefilter and note if the filter system light
is on. Ensure that the perforated work surface is not obstructed.
Wear a long sleeved lab coat with knit cuffs and over-the-cuff rubber
gloves. Use protective eyewear. Wear a protective mask if
appropriate.
Wipe-Down
Wipe down the perforated work surface with 70% ethanol, or a
suitable cleaner, and allow it to dry.
CAUTION: Do not use bleach on the stainless steel work surface. Use
disinfectants compatible with stainless steel.
Dusting Evidence
Position evidence during dusting so that air flows around all surfaces
of it, and directly into the perforated work surface. Do not overload
the station. Do not place objects directly on top of the perforated work
surface in a manner that would obstruct the downflow.
Do not obstruct the perforated work surface or the exhaust air
discharge, on top of the station.
Shutdown
Turn off the station. Wipe down the perforated work surface with
70% ethanol, or a suitable cleaner, and allow it to dry.
Remove the perforated work surface. Powder can be cleaned out of
the pan, or the pan can be removed from the filter module and
dumped in a waste container.
Remove the filter cover. Inspect the prefilter, and replace it if
necessary.
Reinstall the filter cover, work surface pan and perforated work
surface. Dispose of rubber gloves appropriately, and have lab coat
laundered properly.
