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).
• Check inlet inert gas pressure to ensure it never exceeds 10-14 psi
(69-96 kPa).
