FFU Performance #

The laminar flow of the cabinet is facilitated by 3 Fan Filter Units (FFU).

In case the FFU parameters reach their set limits, a warning will appear on the screen, later to be followed by a system shutdown.

Damper Controls #

The room’s damper controls the inflow and air withdrawal in the cabinet. In case parameters reach
their limits, the system will trigger an acoustic alarm.

Leaning, Weight, and Force #

Do not lean over the screen arm or the printer arm.

Do not apply force on the Vial Insertion Scale or the IV bag backlight, located next to the printer.

These units are equipped with load sensors, which can be damaged if exposed to excessive force.
