    Invivo Plus Note: The workstation should not be used without the Ezee Sleeves attached. Figure 16: Ezee glove port and sleeve 6.2.2 Vacuum Operation To ensure that no external atmosphere contaminates the workstation, a single vacuum operation is required before Glove Port access. To minimise the time it is recommended to eliminate as much external atmosphere from the sleeve as possible prior to arm entry.
  • Page 28 Invivo Plus Note: Failure to grasp the Handle at this stage will make grasping it after the vacuum operation much more difficult. Figure 18: Arm inserted into sleeve (Shown with and without sleeve) 1. Glove port handle Figure 19: Foot pedals for right and left glove ports 1.
  • Page 29: Workstation Entry

    Invivo Plus The vacuum operation should be continued until the maximum amount of external atmosphere has been removed from the sleeve and the sleeve exerts pressure on the arm/hand. This take approx 15 to 20 seconds. Figure 21: Sleeve before vacuum operation Figure 20: Sleeve after vacuum operation The Sleeve should pull forcefully against both the inner surface of the Glove Port interior and the users arm and hand when adequate vacuum has been achieved.
  • Page 30 Invivo Plus Once the vacuum has been achieved, the Glove Port Handle can now be rotated in either direction to unlock the Glove Port Cap. As there is a strong vacuum within the Sleeve, removal of the Cap can require a reasonable amount of force.
