  • Page 7: Maintenance

    A loaded HEPA filter cannot be cleaned or recycled. New filters are available from Germfree and we recommend that they be changed by qualified personnel. Your certifier, using R.T.V. silicone sealant, can repair small holes or tears in the filter medium. The filter must be retested for leaks after any repair is made.
  • Page 8: Filter Diffuser

    Z-Series Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods User Manual Filter Diffuser The HEPA filter is located behind a removable, perforated stainless steel diffuser. Do not push items such as needles through the diffuser holes and do not hang items from any part of the diffuser. Due to the Ultra-clean air passing over the backside of the diffuser, it does not need to be cleaned regularly.
  • Page 9: Optional Equipment

    Z-Series Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods User Manual Optional Equipment An electric lift system can be equipped on the stand for automatic adjustment of the hood. The mechanism is a self-contained system that only requires power to be operational. No maintenance is required beyond keeping the system clean.
  • Page 10: Tests And Results

    Z-Series Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods User Manual Tests and Results Airflow Velocity The inward air velocity is measured across the plain of the sash opening. The velocities are set to be approximately 50-70 fpm average. This velocity range is chosen to minimize the turbulence in the air. Velocities outside of this range are not desirable.
  • Page 11: Certification / Testing Expectations

    This power is proportional to air speed. Alternatively, the velometer uses a probe that intakes air, and the force against the meter causes a deflection in the needle. If your pharmacy does not have a certifier, Germfree can assist in finding one in your area.
