3.2 STARTING THE CLEAN BENCH 3.2.1 Prepare a written checklist of materials/apparatus necessary for immediate usage. 3.2.2 Turn off the UV light (if it is being used) as soon as you enter the work location. 3.2.3 Wash hands thoroughly using germicidal soap. Wear gloves for hand protection. Gloves should be pulled over the knitted wrists of the gown instead of wearing them inside. Double gloving may be necessary for higher risk work. 3.2.4 Put on a clean laboratory coat with long-sleeves. A solid front-back closing lab gown provides better protection to personal clothing than a traditional lab coat. If a higher degree of risk is involved then you should consider using a disposable gown. 3.2.5 Adjust the seating position for optimal operator comfort. It is recommended to use a height adjustable stool. Refer to section 3.4 on ergonomics for further information. 3.2.6 Thoroughly surface-decontaminate the work surface, side walls and back wall using 70% ethanol (or some other disinfectant depending on materials used in the clean bench). Surface-decontaminate the UV lamp and electrical outlets as well. Do not use any disinfectant containing chlorine-based substances as this may cause corrosion of the stainless steel surfaces. 3.2.7 Minimize room activity (personnel movements, closing and opening of doors, etc.) since these external airflow

3.3 WORKING IN THE CLEAN BENCH 3.3.1 Allow only essential items in the work zone. Items/instruments should not be placed between the filter and any area where the clean environment is needed. New items introduced into the work zone should be placed downstream of items already in the work zone for several minutes to allow contaminants to flush off. 3.3.2 Work in the clean bench in a slow and controlled manner. While putting items inside / removing items from the work zone, move your hands in and out of the work zone opening slowly and in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the work zone opening. Rapid movement of arms in a sweeping motion may disrupt the air barrier, thereby allowing contaminants to enter the clean bench. 3.3.3 Exercise particular care when placing equipment within the work space. Where possible, instruments should be placed on perforated platforms to allow air movement under as well as around the object.

3.5 CLEANING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE CLEAN BENCH 3.5.1 As far as possible, it is recommended that the clean bench be operated continuously in order to achieve optimal containment and cleanliness. The clean bench will then remain in its initially clean condition. If, for any reasons, the unit is turned off, the face of the protective screen in clean benches should be cleaned- preferably with a small brush. 3.5.2 Surface-decontaminate all the items/apparatus using 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) before removing them from the clean bench. 100% IPA is not recommended because it will evaporate too fast before having sufficient contact time. It is recommended that the fan be left ON during this period. 3.5.3 Thoroughly wipe the work surface, side walls, inner back wall using water and some mild antibacterial detergent.  Any disi nfec tant cont ain ing chl orin e-b ased subs tanc es may cor rode the stee l used in the clea n benc h. So if such disinfectant is used, the residue must be immediately wiped off by using cloth and non-corroding disinfectant, such as 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA). 3.5.4 Wipe off the detergent using water. Make sure that there are no traces of detergent left. 3.5.5 Wipe the work surface, side walls and back wall again with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) or any other disinfecting agents listed on the next page. 3.5.6 To clean the optional transparent front cover for UV protection, use a damp s oft cloth with a mild soap or mild inorganic acids/bases.

The use of UV lamp in clean benches is not recommended because of several reasons. Firstly, UV lamp poses personal safety issues; exposure to UV radiation can cause erythema of skin and eye damage. Some UV lamps also contain mercury and breaking the lamp can result in undesirable exposure to this toxic compound. Secondly, UV causes performance degradation of the clean bench. UV lamp causes turbulence which disrupts the laminar/unidirectional nature of the air stream, which is critical to maintaining proper cabinet product/cross contamination performance. Lastly, UV lamp is

ineffective on modern clean benches. UV lamps are ineffective as long as any surface contamination (dust particles etc.) is  presentt a  presen as sU UV V has limited limited penetrating penetrating powe power. r. Also, not all surface surfaces s in the clean ben bench ch are e exposed xposed to UV radiation. 3.5.9 Remove the laboratory coat and gloves and thoroughly wash your hands using germicidal soap. Disinfecting Agents 

  For stainless steel surfaces, all common disinfecting agents except chlorine-based ones are suitable.



  For powder coated surfaces, all common disinfecting agents are suitable. However, the clean bench has been

specifically evaluated for use with the following: 

 

  1N hydrochloric acid   1N sodium hydroxide   1% quaternary ammonium compound



  5% formaldehyde   5,000 ppm hypochlorite



  2% iodophor



  5% phenol



  70% ethyl alcohol



  Depending on the contaminant involved at the time of operating the clean bench, there are various other types of



disinfecting agents that may be used. Table on the next page outlines the effectiveness of various disinfecting agents against the different types of contaminants.

CHAPTER 4 MAINTAINING YOUR CLEAN BENCH Proper and timely maintenance is crucial for trouble free functioning of any device and your Esco clean bench is no exception to this rule. We strongly recommend that you follow the maintenance schedule suggested hereunder in order to obtain optimal performance from your Esco clean bench.

1 .   Surface decontaminate the work zone

Thoroughly wipe the work surface, side walls, inner back walls and all other surfaces in the interior of the clean bench using a disinfectant appropriate for the work being conducted in your lab. If using a commercial preparation, it is helpful to follow up your wipe with a 70% ethanol rinse. Ethanol can help the disinfectant to evaporate cleanly. Do not use any disinfectant containing chlorine-based substances as it may corrode the steel used in the clean

While cleaning the interior of the clean bench, make sure that no part of your body except your hands go inside the clean bench. Please refer to the user section for details of appropriate disinfecting agents. 2 .   Clean the exterior surfaces of the cabinet Using a damp cloth, clean the exterior surfaces of the clean bench, particularly the front and top of the clean bench in order to remove the dust a ccumulated there. 3 .   Check all service fixtures ( w h e r e p r e s e n t )  for proper operation Observe local, state and national regulations as to when you need to get your service lines and fixtures certified. 4 .   Replace pre-filter Replace the disposable pre-filter quarterly. Note: Before changing pre-filters ensure that they power cord is detached from the main power supply inlet. 5 .   Inspect the cabinet for any physical abnormalities or malfunction Check both fluorescent tubes (and UV light if present) to ensure that they are functioning properly and replace the bulbs if necessary. 6 .   Clean up stainless steel surfaces with MEK For removing stubborn stains or spots on the stainless steel surfaces, make use of MEK (Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone). In such cases, make sure that you wash the steel surface immediately afterwards with clean water and some liquid detergent. Use a polyurethane cloth or sponge for washing. Regularly cleaning the stainless steel surface can help you retain the attractive factory finish.

Th e en gi ne er wi ll te st do wn fl ow an d inflow velocities, air flow patterns, the filter and perform a cabinet leak test to ensure that the cabinet is working properly. 8.   Change UV lamp  (where present) To remove the old lamp, turn the tube 90 degrees and slide it out from the bracket. To insert the new lamp, slide it in to the socket and when fully inserted, turn the bulb 90 degrees to lock into position. Surface decontamination should be performed after changing the UV bulb. 9.   C h a n g e t h e f l u o r e s c e n t l a m p s 

  Before changing the fluorescent bulbs, ensure that the clean bench is powered down and disconnected from the

electrical supply. 

  Locate the bulbs.



  Remove the power clips at the ends of the bulbs by gently pulling whilst holding the bulb steady.



  Remove the bulbs from the mounting clips and replace with new ones.



  Replace the power clips on the ends of the new bulbs and ensure they are firmly seated.



  Reconnect the clean bench to the electrical supply and test the bulbs for proper operation.

LOG RECORD It is good practice (and in some cases regulatory requirement) to maintain a log of all maintenance work carried out on your clean bench. Esco has an example Maintenance Log available for download from the resources section of our website, www.escoglobal.com .

1.4 CALIBRATION OF SENTINEL TM  DELTA CONTROL

Note: Calibration Note:  Calibration is only necessary when the air velocity display is inaccurate or faulty alarm setpoints need to be corrected. The purpose of calibrating the controller is to let the controller record particular output voltages from the airflow sensor and correspond them to fail and nominal points of air velocity. Once the calibration has been completed, the control will be able to show the air velocity whenever the fan is in operation. All Esco cabinets are factory-tested and calibrated before being shipped.

Sensor Constant   Temperature Sensor Activation Note: This Note:  This step needs to be performed only if the sensor is changed Every sensor manufactured by Esco has a s pecific Sensor Constant written on the sensor sticker. This sensor constant is used for temperature compensation performed by the temperature sensor. 
