Chapter 5: Using Your Filtered Enclosure and Appropriate Application

•The HEPA filter will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the enclosure. The rate of accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the room air, the amount of time the enclosure is operating, and the nature of work being done. With normal usage, the HEPA filters will last two to five years before requiring replacement.

•Each filtered enclosure is provided with a HEPA filter. For powders and particulates follow the HEPA Filter Bag-In/Bag- Out procedure in Chapter 6 for disposal instructions. For biohazardous materials, follow the Decontamination Procedure in Chapter 6 for disposal instructions.

Odor Control Carbon Filter Applications (sold as an accessory)

•Release of low concentrations of vapors effectively adsorbed or treated in carbon based filters.

•Treatment of low-level carcinogens or suspected carcinogens. (See Chemical Carcinogens in Chapter 5)

•Procedures that may have traditionally been done on the open bench (low levels only).

•Odoriferous chemicals that are an unpleasant nuisance.

Other applications, not fitting the above guidelines, would be better suited with the exhaust ducted to the outside. The exhaust connection kit (See Chapter 3 and Chapter 7) can be added to the XPert Filtered Balance System for ducting to the outside. Additionally, the XPert Filtered Balance Station is factory prepared to be connected to a remote blower, or house exhaust system for ducting to the outside. Labconco also manufactures fume hoods and Class II Biological Safety Cabinets for exhausting to the outside. Consult Labconco product specialist for additional information.
