•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 biohazardous materials, follow the Decontamination Procedure in Chapter 6 for disposal instructions.

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 filtered enclosures for ducting to the outside.
