AllerGardTM ES Energy Saver Containment Small Animal Transfer Station Models NU-620-300E/400E/500E NU-621-300E/400E/500E Manufactured By:
NuAire, Inc. – Plymouth, Minnesota, USA

General Description

The NuAire AllerGardTM ES Energy Saver Containment Small Animal Transfer Station Model NU-620 is a station whose unique configuration offers the benefits of vertical HEPA filtered airflow for product protection on the worksurface. In addition, the NU-620 provides improved allergen personnel protection by incorporating a HEPA filtered down draft vacuum on the worksurface to assure minimal exposure to animal hair/dander as well as cage bedding material. However, the NuAire Model NU-620 should not be used as a substitute for a Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet (BSC). The NU-620 is not a containment device for airborne particulate in low to moderate risk-hazard research as prescribed by the CDC/NIH Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories.
The NU-620 design and basic airflow pattern is illustrated on the specification drawing. The NU-620 design incorporates two impeller/blowers, both a supply and exhaust, each with its own associated HEPA filter providing excellent system function and maximum filter loading capacity. The designed airflow pattern, being a single pass system, also eliminates any heat buildup within the work zone. The airflow pattern starts with the supply prefilter located on top of the station. The airflow continues through the supply impeller/blower and forced into the supply HEPA filter providing 99.99% particle removal at 0.3 micron. The airflow continues to move in a uniform vertical downflow pattern providing particulate-free air in the work zone.
NuAire offers two window configurations being either dual access or single access. The dual access design along with the work surface configuration allows the greatest access while maintaining work zone sterility and improved allergen protection. The single access design meets BSC containment performance levels for personnel and protection.
The downdraft HEPA filter provides 99.99% particle removal at 0.3 micron and is located under the worktray in its own impeller/blower/filter cabinet. As the air is pulled from the worktray, through the prefilter and into the blower, the air then passes through the downdraft HEPA filter and is exhausted back to the room providing improved allergen personnel and environmental protection.

Installation Instructions

5.1 Location
The NU-620 Station can be located anywhere within the animal facility. However, for maximum product protection, the station should be used away from laboratory personnel traffic lanes, air vents (in or out), doors, and/or any other source of disruptive air currents.
If drafts or other disruptive air currents exceed the downflow velocity of the station through the access opening, the potential exists for contaminated room air to enter the work zone. Remember: Always use proper laboratory techniques.
5.2 Set-Up Instructions
Remove outer shipping protection (carton or crating). The station is fastened to the base skid and it is usually the best procedure to leave the skid in place until the station is located in its approximate position to facilitate ease in handling. It can be disconnected from the skid by removing the brackets, bolts, and screws holding the station to the skid, then remove the screws to disconnect the ends of the skid.
The station has two on-site items required for the adjustable base to function.
After the cable ties have been removed and the power cable is plugged in for the unit. The NU-620 can be raised onto its lift system and rolled away from the end of the skid. It will take 5-10 seconds of holding the UP bottom for the lift to begin to move for the first time.
5.3 Plumbing Services
Typically, the NU-620 is not provided with plumbing services. In special cases, ground key cocks, needle valve cocks, or customer specified watering system hardware can be added. If ground key cocks are added, the type of service would be specified by the removable button on the handle. The ground key cocks are not recommended for pressure over 30 psi (2.0 BAR). Reducing valves should be installed external to the station if necessary. Ground key cocks should never be used for oxygen service. A special needle for oxygen service is required and available upon request.
External connection is to 3/8 inch NPT coupling in the inner sidewalls. Plugged clearance holes in the outer sidewalls are provided for easy access to the inner couplings via a NPT nipple. Connection to plant utilities should be made with proper materials for the individual service and according to national and/or local codes. It is not recommended that flammable gases be used in the station. However, if flammable gas is used, emergency shut-off valves should be located in an accessible area external to the station. Observe all labels pertaining to the type of service and operating pressure.

Operating Guidelines

It is acceptable and sometimes recommended to operate the station continuously. The station will then remain in its initially clean condition. If for any reason the unit is turned off for some time, daily or weekly, turn the station on and run for 10 minutes before using.
Allow only essential items in the work station. New items introduced into the work area should be placed within one of the worksurface quadrants to minimize cross contamination. All work should be performed with the operator’s hand downstream of the critical process points. Unnecessary movement with the work station should be kept to a minimum.
7.1 Operating Sequence:
Start-Up Turn on the station’s blower and lights. Blower speed must only be readjusted by qualified maintenance technicians. Good procedure includes the decontamination or wipe down of station surfaces with chemical disinfectant before work commences.
Note: See cleaning procedures section 7.3
Allow blower to operate for a minimum of 10 minutes before aseptic manipulations are begun in the station. An additional advantage is obtained from purification (filtration) of the room air circulated through the equipment. Because of the characteristics contributed to the quality of the laboratory environment, some owners leave them in operation beyond the time of actual use.
Minimize Room Activity Activity in the room itself should be held to a minimum. Unnecessary activity may create disruptive air currents as well as interfere with the work of the operator. A person walking past the front of the station can cause draft velocities up to 175fpm (.88 m/s) which are sufficient to disrupt the air balance of the Laminar Flow Unit.
Utilize Unidirectional Airflow The operator must keep two important facts in mind:
1. The air is supplied to the work area through the HEPA filter is contaminant free. 2. Airborne contamination generated in the work area is controlled by the unidirectional vertical flow air stream.
A solid object placed in a laminar air stream will disrupt the parallel flow and consequently, the capability of controlling lateral movement of airborne particulates. A cone of turbulence extends behind the object and laminarity of the air stream is not regained until a point is reached downstream, approximately equal to three to six times the diameter of the object. Within the parameters of this cone, particles may be carried laterally by multidirectional eddy currents. The downdraft vacuum source on the worksurface greatly reduces the above effect. However, working with proper technique is always the best method.
Terminal Purging & Wipe down Following completion of the work, allow the station for a 2-3 minute period without personnel activity to purge the unit. The decontamination of the interior surfaces should be repeated after removal of all work materials.
Prefilters Located under the work surface is a prefilter area. This area forms the air path to the exhaust motor/blower. If the air flow is blocked by excessive animal dander or bedding materials, the performance of the station could be seriously affected. Therefore, THE PREFILTERS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND CLEANED NO LESS THAN ON A WEEKLY BASIS. The prefilters may be vacuumed to remove the materials. The prefilters may also be replaced as necessary (see replacement parts list).
Shut Down Turn off blowers and lights. Do not use station as a depository for excess laboratory equipment during periods of non-operation.

OM0308 January 2024

7.2 Ergonomics
Ergonomics, the study or accommodation of work practices is extremely important for proper usage and user health and safety. An evaluation of normal work practices should be performed with each user when working. Evaluation criteria should be at a minimum:
a. Proper user posture (sitting or standing) b. Effective work zone layout for work practice c. Vision or sightlines
For each of the above evaluation criterion, several aids may be supplied to accommodate the user.
· Ergonomic chair ­ for sitting application, a six-way articulating seat and back control for personalized adjustment to assure proper user posture. Be sure feet are resting on the floor, chair foot support or foot rest. Also be sure back is fully supported with proper chair adjustments.
· Anti-fatigue mat ­ for standing application, using a closed cell skinned anti-fatigue mat will aid user comfort. · Forearm/armrest support – The cabinet is provided with a forearm support on the work access opening. Periodic
mini-breaks during work practice should be taken resting forearm to avoid stress and fatigue. · Effective work zone layout – Always prepare your work procedure to minimize reach to avoid neck and shoulder
stress and fatigue. Rotating tables are optional to maximum work zone and minimize reach. · Vision and sightline – Always prepare your work procedure to eliminate glare and bright reflections on the window.
Keep your window clean and sightlines clear to your effect work zone.
7.3 Cleaning Procedures
7.3.1 General Cleaning laboratory equipment is important in terms of both functionality and general good housekeeping. The information provided below is intended to aid the development of facility Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) for cleaning the equipment. It is strongly recommended that all cleaning materials used be tested and verified in terms of both effectiveness and material compatibility before they are written into the cleaning SOP documentation.
a. The airflow blower should be operating during the cleaning process to maintain sterility and/or containment during the cleaning process.
b. Raise window to gain additional access if desired.
c. Apply appropriate cleaning material or surface disinfectant to surfaces. Most surface disinfectants require a specific contact time depending the materials used within the work zone. CONSULT APPROPRIATE DISINFECTANT DOCUMENTATION FOR PROPER APPLICATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
c-1. Polycarbonate (Covestro® Makrolon®AR) has noted material compatibility concerns (see polycarbonate compatibility section). They recommend the use of Hydrogen Peroxide based materials such as the following:
– Steriplex SD – Safetec surface wipes – Peridox RTU
It is recommended to AVOID the use of cleaning materials that contain Chlorine, Quaternary Ammoniums and Phenol’s.
If the polycarbonate is lightly scratched, it may be able to be polished out with Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish or similar.
Further information may be available from www.covestro.com
c-2. Stainless steel (type 304) has noted material compatibility concerns with Acids, Chlorides and Halogens. IF THESE MATERIALS ARE USED AND ALLOWED TO BE LEFT ON THE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE, OXIDATION AND DEGRADATION WILL OCCUR. Only by re-wiping surfaces with either sterile water or 70% IPA will remove harmful materials from the stainless steel surface.
Further information is available at the following: http://www.parrinst.com/wp- content/uploads/downloads/2011/07/Parr_Stainless-Steels-Corrosion-Info.pdf

NOTE: NuAire does not offer any product warranty with respect to cleaning material compatibility. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! The information provided above is from raw material suppliers and known general source documents for use to develop application cleaning SOP’s.
NOTE: When cleaning the work area for the first several times, the new metal surfaces may produce some dark discoloration on the white cleaning wipes. Repeated cleaning will continuously reduce the amount of the discoloration material on the cleaning wipes over time.

General Maintenance

All maintenance actions on this equipment must be performed by a qualified technician who is familiar with the proper maintenance procedures required for this equipment. This includes both certification as well as repair.
Normally, no preventative maintenance is required on the interior of the station. The motor is lubricated for life and is thermally protected with automatic reset. The entire lamp assembly is located under the removable supply diffuser. Motor controls and station switches are located in the clean area of the hood.
However, it is recommended to perform routine preventative maintenance. Additionally, it is recommended that the station be certified, per section 8.7 after the station has been installed and annually thereafter, or whenever the operator has reason to believe it necessary.
8.1 Preventative Maintenance
In addition to the annual certification process it is recommended that the following preventative maintenance be performed on a regular basis to ensure the station remains in safe working order.

8.1.1

Prefilters The prefilters should be inspected daily and cleaned on a regular basis as needed or in accordance with established facility guidelines and SOP’s. This will ensure that proper airflows will be maintained.

8.1.2 Hydraulic Lift The hydraulic lift should be inspected annually by running it fully up and down and observing for proper operation.

8.1.3

Caster Channel The channels that secure the casters to the stainless steel hydraulic legs should be checked annually for tightness to the hydraulic leg. If they are bent or loose replacement may be necessary.

8.1.4

Exhaust Airflow Procedure: After downflow calibration is complete, remove the work surface but leave the black prefilters in place. Then place a direct inflow-measuring device (with the hood removed) over the opening to the exhaust impeller. Seal the opening around the base of the DIM with duct tape.
If necessary, enter active blower speed adjustment.
· Press and hold key, then press hidden ­ blower – keys sequentially. LED indicator above blower (green) key will blink fast.
Press or keys to adjust blower speed. · LED segments will indicate blower speed percentage and active blower speed adjustment.

o Right end red LED indicates active blower speed adjustment . The red LED will blink as soon as any adjustments are made and will continue to blink as the motor rpm settles. Once the red LED stops blinking, the motor will run steady state at the new percentage. Note: The red LED must be non-blinking to save or exit
o Green LED’s indicate percentage on of scale (0-100%) o Yellow LED’s indicate minimum (left/maximum (right) blower speed has been achieved
Note: At any time during the process · Press hidden key to accept and enter the blower speed calibration point (if the blower speed calibration point was not successfully entered, a half second audible alarm will occur. The calibration process must then be repeated for successful entry of blower speed calibration point.)

Alternate Method: After downflow calibration is complete, remove the work surface, stainless steel drip cover, and the mesh screen with the elastic band in the exhaust plenum (leave the black prefilters in place). Then place an 18″ x 18″ x 12″ cardboard box (with bottom removed) around opening. Add a hole at the center of the front of the box (6 inches from the bottom, 9 inches from the side). Create a fixture to hold a thermo anemometer probe, and take 11 readings across the opening starting 4 inches from inside of box, reading 1-inch apart, until probe end is 14 inches from inside edge of the box. Average the 11 readings, (compensate for the local air density), multiply the average by the area, (2.25 ft2) and then multiply by the conversion factor .68.
8.7 Filter Integrity Check
In order to check the filter, the HEPA filter media must be directly accessible. Remove the supply diffuser and exhaust protective screen to access the filters. P.A.O. upstream concentration ports are available on both the top and bottom filter housings if needed.
NOTE: Scanning the HEPA filter seal cannot be done by only removing the diffuser screen. HEPA filtered air must be directed into the dead-air space to flush the area with particle free air while scanning for leaks. The frame itself is under negative pressure and scavenger slots, if present, help flush out the area when the diffuser is installed.
For more information reference STB0374 HEPA Filter Frame Area Testing.

8.8 PresurFlowTM Alarm Set Points
The PresurFlowTM alarm setpoints are preset based on the calibration setpoint. Once the calibration setpoint is entered, based on a nominal airflow velocity, the associated pressure sensor value is entered as the nominal pressure value. The high and low alarm setpoints are preset with an associated pressure offset value within the acceptable cabinet airflow range. Normally, no further adjustment is needed.
However, if specific use alarm setpoints are desired, the alarm setpoints may be adjusted by performing the following: Low Alarm Setpoint · Press and hold the Hidden and key for 3 seconds.
(The left red LED will blink and the green LED’s indicate blower speed) · Press or keys to adjust blower speed to the desired airflow velocity low alarm setpoint value.
· Left end red LED indicates active low limit blower speed adjust The red LED will blink as soon as any adjustments are made and will continue to blink as the motor rpm settles. Once the red LED stops blinking, the motor will run steady state at the new percentage. If the low alarm setpoint value is not within an acceptable range, the left end red LED will blink at a very fast rate.
Note: The red LED must be non-blinking to save or exit.
Note: At any time during the process · Press hidden key to accept low alarm setpoint value · Press key to abort and exit
· Upon exiting, the blower will go back to actual airflows.
High Alarm Setpoint · Press and hold the Hidden and key for 3 seconds.

· Red end Red LED indicates active high limit blower speed adjust. The red LED will blink as soon as any adjustments are made and will continue to blink as the motor rpm settles. Once the red LED stops blinking, the motor will run steady state at the new percentage. If the high alarm setpoint value is not within an acceptable range, the right end red LED will blink at a very fast rate.
Note: The red LED must be non-blinking to save or exit.
Note: At any time during the process · Press hidden key to accept low alarm setpoint value · Press key to abort and exit
· Upon exiting, the blower will go back to actual airflows.
Note: Specific use alarm setpoints will be lost upon entry of new nominal calibration value. It is necessary to re-enter specific use high/low alarm setpoints every time a new nominal calibration is entered.
