Page 29: 5: Performance Features & Safety Precautions
5: Performance Features & Safety Precautions The Protector Evidence Drying Cabinet (EDC) operates using the following principles: • Directional airflow. • Prefiltration of large particulates by an inlet prefilter (in the door) and an exhaust prefilter (in the top of the liner). •... -
Page 30: Directional Airflow
Directional Airflow Directional airflow plays a critical role in EDC performance. Air is drawn into the inlet prefilter, located on the bottom of the door(s). The filtered air then flows upwards through the liner, passing over the evidence to be dried. Before leaving the liner, the air then passes through the exhaust prefilter, which is designed to protect the HEPA filter from large particulates and may be removed to examine it for the collection of evidence. -
Page 31: Optional Evidence Prefilters
99.99% efficient in removing particles 0.3 micron. The HEPA filter media is very fragile. DO NOT touch the media. If you think the media of a HEPA filter is damaged, DO NOT USE THE CABINET. Call Labconco’s Product Service Department at 1-800-522-7658 or 816-333-8811. -
Page 32: Blower
Note: HEPA Filters are only effective against particulate material. Gases will pass through the filter. Figure 5-2 Polyurethane seal Filter frame Between media pack and filter frame Filter media pack – A continuous sheet of filter media Blower The blower assembly pulls room air into the intake prefilter on the front of the door(s), through the liner and exhaust prefilter, and then forces it through the HEPA and granular activated carbon filter. -
Page 33: Safety Precautions
Note: UV irradiation is absorbed by the tempered safety glass of the door. Independent research has shown that the level of UV irradiation on the outside of the cabinet’s door is equal to background radiation levels. Note: The UV sensitivity of a target organism varies, depending on the UV output of the lamp, the genus and species of the organism, the medium the agent is suspended in, etc. - Page 34 The media of the filter is fragile and should not be touched. Avoid puncturing the HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet; contact Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811 for further information.
- Page 35 When surface disinfecting the cabinet: • Always wear appropriate personnel protective equipment. • NEVER use high pressure water to clean the liner; this practice could generate biohazardous aerosols. • NEVER spray disinfectants into the blower intake at the top of the liner; this may damage the blower.
