Recommendations for exhaust
Accessories for exhaust system:
system
• Exhaust manifold [1] for the direct connection to an on-site
exhaust system. Two types of connection can be used:

The indirect connection via a Thimble duct connector and the Sketch, control information, principle
direct tight connection via a Direct Duct Connector.
Both methods are used as an additional safety mean in order to
prevent undetected unlikely failure of the exhaust filter system
can cause a contamination risk, or to exhaust odors released
throughout work inside cabinet to the outside.
Safety Remarks:
• Both methods need to feed back the exhausted amount of air
into the laboratory. The resupply of room air has to be condi-
tioned in order to avoid failure of the installed system and to
avoid inconvenient work conditions.
• The exhaust air of both systems can carry contaminated
Aerosol in case of failure.
• Therefore the air system shall not be coupled with other “nor-
mal” ventilation in order to prevent backwash of contami-
nants into other areas.
• It is of paramount importance to avoid any negative impact
on the “inflow” of the safety cabinet in order to keep safe
work conditions.
At least once a year safe operation of the whole system, Cabinet
and Exhaust Connection / -system has to be re-certified.

to switch off external blower supply when system is not used.
With this information’s an external HVAC - system can addition-
ally be controlled. The “Reduced Speed” level is not a demand. It has to be consid-
ered in case to case how to save energy consumption / how HVAC
system is controlled.
Thimble Duct Connection
In order to have an additional safety mean, often the Thimble Duct
Connection of the Cabinet exhaust to the outside is used.
The major benefits are:
• Building site duct system is under negative pressure;
• in case of malfunction of the building site system or,
• if the air flow rate is not well balanced or
• its not foreseen to exhaust 100 % of the cabinet exhaust, a
major “sniffing” portion only, in order to save energy, the
cabinet’s personal protection is not influenced by the external
system.
The Safety cabinet in this cases operates as a recirculation cabinet
back into the room or a portion of the exhaust is recirculated back
into the room only.
The negative is, the Thimble Duct Connection type needs a little
portion, approx. 20-30%, more air flow rate compared to a Direct
Duct Connection.
Anyhow, from a safety point of view, the Thimble Duct Connec-
tion is the fail safe way to duct Safety Cabinets exhaust to the out-
side.

• The U.S. Standard NSF/ANSI 49 – 2002 defines such con- Item 1370 (stand)
nection as a B 3 – Type connection to work with minute
quantities of hazardous chemicals which have to be
exhausted to the outside. The standard requires higher in-
flow velocities compared to the European state-of-the-art
standard EN 12 469. Therefore other exhaust air amounts are
required! Please refer to the different values mentioned here!
KDD - Connector
For Direct Ducting the Cabinet to the outside as an additional
safety mean, Thermo recommend to use the KDD adaptor (acces-
sory) in order to ease installation.
The duct (flange) connection can be made either on the top or on
the left of the adaptor.
The adaptor is made of transparent plastic material. It has to be fit-
ted on top of the air outlet of the Safety Cabinet and has to be
sealed. Inside the transparent outlet box of the adaptor a colored
flap shows status of exhaust flow. If the air flow is right, the flap
is open, close to 90° angle vertical. If the air flow is not o.k. the
flap is closed in horizontal position.
Flap positions in between total open or less can be safe as well. In
this cases it is of importance to inform users, safety officers and
laboratory managers about operation conditions found to be safe
even the flap is not totally open.
On one side of the transparent outlet box the KDD adaptor has a
port / thread intended to use in case of disinfection / fumigation of
the Cabinet.
Herewith the Flap can be pressed down to the gasket inside and
the outlet can be sealed during disinfection / fumigation in order
to prevent loss of disinfectant. This thread has to be sealed during
normal operation with the bolt delivered with or with a compara-
ble metric screw.

wireframe mockup example:

Once the user has successfully logged in to the system, the wireframe mockup referenced
in section 3.30.100 may be displayed.
Air Velocities
The Adjust Air Velocities screen must be displayed as in this visual mockup:

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 59

 Audible alarms are silenced while on this screen as the BSC is now in Service Mode. Flow
compensation is turned off.

Typically, before editing anything on this screen, the technician will place an airflow device
inside the main compartment of the biosafety cabinet, turn the fans on and then test to
make sure the values displayed on the screen shown above, match the values on their
separate equipment.

If the values match, the technician does not need to make any changes. If the values do
not match then the technician may tap any of the blue + or – icons underneath the fan
speed and displayed velocity settings for both inflow and downflow to change the onscreen
values.

If the tech makes a change, the previous saved setting must be displayed directly below
the setting they have changed. An animated timer icon and a 1 minute countdown timer
appear in the row they are editing directly under the row label (example below shows the
Inflow Fan Speed has been changed from 85.0% to 86.0%.) The Certify and Save
Changes buttons are inactive grey.

When the timer has completed, the following visual mockup must be displayed:

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 60

 The animated timer icon has changed to a green checkmark and the timer is now reading
0:00. The Certify and Save Changes buttons are now Blue Action.
Technicians can continue to make adjustments and the timer/checkmark/inactive/active
buttons sequence will repeat as they make changes on screen.

When the technician is finished, they may:

1. tap the Save Changes button to save their settings or

2. tap the Certify button to (a) save any changes and (b) certify the cabinet

Once the user taps the Save Changes button, a pop-up window overlay screen must appear stating:

The pop-up window overlay must have an OK button which will close the window if tapped, an X
icon in the top right corner which will close the window if tapped, and a header in the top left
corner that states: Settings Saved

Pop-up Window Overlay must auto-close after 5 seconds.

Regardless of the window auto-closing or the user manually closes the window, the user must be
returned to the main Field Certification screen which now reflects today’s date in the “Last
Change” section.

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 61

 Certifying
The technician may certify the cabinet at any time (excluding while the countdown timer is active
on screen.) Certifying the cabinet will update the certification date shown at the top of the screen
to today’s date. If no changes to the inflow/downflow have been made, once the user taps the
“Certify” button, the following pop-up window overlay must be displayed:

Tapping the Certify button will also save any changes if any have been made. If the user has made
changes to the inflow/downflow and tap “Certify” before tapping the “Save Changes” button, the
following pop-up window overlay must be displayed:

Regardless of saving settings or certifying, the main Air Velocities screen must auto-update and
reflect the last saved date and the last certification date.

Alarm Fan Speed

Technicians may adjust the alarm fan speed of either the inflow or downflow. In the following
example, the user has already tapped the “Activate inflow alarm speed” button. The button has
changed to read “De-activate inflow alarm speed” and the button below for downflow is now
shown as inactive. The % measurement to the right of the button is now fully editable with + and –
icons below the measurement. To the left under the main inflow header is an animated
countdown timer icon and countdown timer. When the timer is finished, the “Save Changes”

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 62

 button at the bottom of the screen turns to Blue Action allowing the user to save any changes they
have made.

The following screen shows the countdown timer finished and the alarm fan speed change with
previous setting.

If the user would like to now edit the downflow in the example above, they must first de-active the
inflow, allowing both buttons to turn to darker gray. The same timer workflow will be displayed for
the downflow alarm speed.

The previously noted Save and Certify settings apply during this alarm fan speed procedure.
Note that certifications and saving settings are two separate items. A technician may adjust
settings but not certify the cabinet as the cabinet may not need to be certified. A technician may
also not need to change any settings to certify the cabinet.

At any time, if the technician needs to navigate away from the main airflow screen, they may tap
the back icon in the left nav.

The “Revert to Saved” button will revert the cabinet to the last saved state. This is in case the
technician has made a mistake during editing and wants to easily revert. A pop-up window overlay
must be displayed if this button is tapped:
HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 63
 Tapping yes, revert will revert the settings to the previously saved settings and show a
confirmation pop-up window overlay as shown below. Tapping no will close this window and
return the user to the previous screen without any changes.

Certification Alerts

The certification alerts allows the technician to change the timeframe of certification, which
in turn changes when the cabinet will alert the user it is time for certification (yellow
warning status.)

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 64

 The default setting is Annual, and the default date in the case of a brand new cabinet just
being setup for the first time would be the date the cabinet was first turned on.

Users may change the start date of the alerts by tapping into the date field and selecting
from the wheel picker the date they would prefer. For example, the user has just received a
brand new cabinet on March 3, 2017. By default, the first notification to the user to have
the cabinet certified would be two weeks before March 3, 2018. But the technician always
does the certification in December. The technician can change the date to December 1,
2017 so the user is notified certification is due at his regularly scheduled visit.

In addition, the technician can change the frequency to semi-annual.

The Save button at the bottom of the screen must be inactive gray (#C4C4C4) until the
user makes a change and then the button must turn to blue action (#2EA2EC.)

Once the user taps the Save button, a pop-up window overlay screen must appear stating:

Your settings have been saved.

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 65

 The pop-up window overlay must have an OK button which will close the window if tapped, an X
icon in the top right corner which will close the window if tapped, and a header in the top left
corner that states: Settings Saved

Pop-up Window Overlay must auto-close after 5 seconds.

Regardless of the window auto-closing or the user manually closes the window, the user must be
returned to the main Field Certification screen.
Velocity Alarm Test

If the technician taps the Velocity Alarm Test from the main Field Certification screen, the
following screen must be displayed:

User must choose if they would like to perform a downflow or inflow test by tapping on one
of the two buttons displayed. Directly below the two buttons is descriptive copy explaining
to the technician the steps involved with performing this test. Instructional text will be
provided at a later date by the product manager.

The following workflow assumes the user has tapped the “Test Downflow” button.

The home screen must be displayed with a prominent “Velocity Alarm Test” in Yellow
Warning to signify the cabinet is in a test state. The buttons to control the unit are
temporarily hidden and have been replaced with an “End Test” button. Tapping the End
Test button will bring the user back to the main Velocity Alarm Test screen shown above.

As this a downflow test, the downflow box is highlighted with a yellow warning border.

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 66

 The fans which were on for the test start to slow down to simulate an alarm. The m/s or fps
reading slowing lowers and when it reaches the alarm point the following screen must be
displayed:

Users can snooze the alarm or press the end test button.

The same procedure will be followed for an inflow test with the proper fields highlighted.
Reset Filter Install Date

If the user taps the Reset Filter Install Date button from within the Field Certification
section, the following prompt must appear as in the wireframe image below:

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 67

 Tapping the Yes, Update button at the bottom of the screen will update the install date to
today’s date and will reset all of the other information associated with the Filter usage (total
hours and last cycle.) Users may also tap the cancel button or the X icon to discard the
changes and be brought back to the previous screen.

Once the user taps the Save button, a pop-up window overlay screen must appear stating:

Your settings have been saved.

The pop-up window overlay must have an OK button which will close the window if tapped, an X
icon in the top right corner which will close the window if tapped, and a header in the top left
corner that states: Settings Saved

Pop-up Window Overlay must auto-close after 5 seconds.

Regardless of the window auto-closing or the user manually closes the window, the user must be
returned to the main Field Certification screen.

Note: If the user instead taps the Reset Icon on the health status screen in section 3.13 the same
pop-up window overlay confirmation screen must appear but after closing will return the user to
the same health status screen.
HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 68
 Window Diagnostics
The Window Diagnostics screen must be displayed as in this wireframe mockup:

Note the fan button has a dark-blue border to signify the fans are on.

Technicians will be raising and lowering the window to activate different switches. The gray
circles will turn green to signify which switcher states are active. Techs may also turn the
fans on/off from this screen.
Calibrate Blowers

The main calibrate blowers screen must be displayed as in the following:

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 69

 Users must tap the start calibration to begin. A pop-up window overlay will appear as in the
following:

The user may tap the cancel button or the X icon in the top right corner to cancel the
calibration and be returned to the main Calibrate Blower screen.

When the calibration is complete, the following screen must be displayed:

HERA SAFE 2030I Device Control | 70

In the case of several filters the determination of the particle con-
centration must be performed at least twice (before and after
measurements) if proof was established that the aerosol distribu-
tion was uniform. Therefore an average aerosol
concentration has to be measured and calculated.
• Determine traverse scan rate, sample acquisition time and the
actual particle counts which characterize a leak.
• Assuming a constant scanning speed of 0.05 m/s and a sam-
pling air volume flow of 28.3 l/min will result. Increasing or
reducing the scanning speed requires a commensurate change
of the test aerosol concentration. For the leakage test, the air-
flow velocity should be adjusted to the specified value +30%.
• Scan the filter, moving the probe over it in overlapping
strokes. When doing so, the probe shall be held at a
distance of no more than 3 cm from the downstream filter
surface or the frame. For each filter, the scan should cover the
entire clean-air side of the filter medium, the filter frame and
the joints. The complete area of the laminator sheet (perfo-
rated plate) should be scanned. According to the EN12469
the laminator sheet stays inside during
measurement. According to NSF49 the laminator sheet has to
be removed.
• While scanning, each indication of at least the same
magnitude as the limit for a nominal leak should cause the
