5.3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The air IS taken from the environment by th e supply unit, the upper one
The alr pass es th rough a pre-filter tha! re!a ins any environ menta l dust and th roug h an
Hepa filter (9 9.999 DOP.): from here a cont inuous supply of sterile air is available in the
pos itlve pl en um of the su pply unit.
From here , through a fl exible connect ion , sterile air feeds the positlv plenum of lhe racks
The posltive plenum of the rack provides fi ltered air to every cage , guaranteeing a unlform
distributi on .
The sterile air supp lied to the cage flows at a hlgh level toward the cage front, fo llowing the
cage shape goes lo the bottom where it removes, at a very slow speed , 11eavy gases uch
as Carbon dioxide and Ammoni a, befare being exhausted throug h a roug h pre-filter (If
mounted) to th e negative ple num.
The exhaust air is then conveyed , through a flexible connection, to the negative unil where
a pre-filter retams the rou gh dirtiness like bedd ing and food dust or ani mal hair.
Next step is a fil tration through an Hepa filter, where the air beco mes steríle before bemg
re leased mto the environment, from an opening placed on th e top of the supply Ulll t thls
position has been speclally designed to allow a neal connection with th e alr con ditlon ing
extraction .

The airflow rate 10 the racks can be regulated by a fan speed adjuster; its value expressed
in cub lc meters per hour is constantly shown by a dig ita l instrument.

Th e airflow rate, adj ustable from O to lIS maxim um , allows the system to guarantee the
optimal air changes per hour rate in any co nd ltion
Furtherm ore, the independent airflow adjustment of the pos itive and negative uni ts perm lts
to regu late the differentlal between the supp ly and exhaust alrflow: this helps to maintain
the proper pressure barrier in any config uration

An option al functlon also allows checking , thro ugh the same in strumen t, the re lati ve
pressure between cage and environment

The flexib ility of th e system allows to connect to the same venlilating un it

• Up to 4 racks
• Racks holding different cage sizes
• High and low denslty racks
• Sing le an d double sided racks
Thls system provides ideal housll1g for anlmals in need of a hlgh degree of rn lcroblologlcal
protection and at the same ti me prevents the expulsion of alle rgen s in lo th e enwonmen t.
The SEALEO CAGE CONCEPT with its variable airflow rate and se leClable pressur rnodes
offers numerous advan tages includi ng

• Mai ntenance of a continua l positive pressure barrier, protecting cage occu ants
fro m ingres s of air borne path ogens whi lst also inh ibitlng expulsion of
aeroa llergens

• Maintenance of a continua l negatlve pres su re barner, isolating cage occupants

from the externa l envlronment wh ilst al so rn inimising mgress of air borne

pathogens.

• Provid s the anlmals with a microenvironment low in gaseous co ntaminants Le.

ammonia and carbon dioxide

• Reduces cage change frequency

5.4 MAIN FEATURES

1) The in put and exhaust fan un it and filler groups are housed in two stainless steel
boxes

The input gro up is composed of two fans , HEPA filter at 99,999 O OP and pre-filter,
hour co unter, air flow Indicator, fan speed adjuster, mai n sWitch, and supply cable
Th ere is also a special socket connected to dry contacts, wh ich can be used to raise
the alarm remotel y in the case of any electrica l fault , inc1uding lack of voltage from
the main power supply
An option al alarm is avallable to check the pressure of the cages relatlve lo the
room .

Th e exhaust group is composed of two fans , HEPA filter at 99.999 DO P and pre­
filter, haur counter, air flaw indicator, tan speed adjuster and connection cab le to the
inpu t group.
There is al so a speclal socket connected to dry contacts, which can be used to ra ise
the alarm remotely in the case of any electrical fault , including lack af voltage fram
the maln power supply

2) The filtered alr IS distributed thro ugh a horizontal plenum , a series af vertical ducts
and valves with calibrated holes. Al! the air ducts are connected to the plenum with
re movable anti-vibralion coup li ng s The plenum is connected lo Ihe input group by a
flexib le qu ick connection

3) The exhausted alr IS extracted through valves (which are protected by a rough pre­
filler) with calibrated hales, vertical ducts and a horizontal plenum , Al! the air ducts
are connected to th e ple num with removable an ti-vib ration coupllng s. T he plenum IS
connected to th e exhaust group by a flexib le quick connection

4) The corree! all gnment of the valve/cage system 15 ensured by speelal Du rethan
gu ides

5) Clear top wi th filter (O ,2p) to prevent distress to the animal in case of power fai lure

6) Self-cl osmg supply and exhaust air valves assure containment mtegrlty

7) The system is des igned to assure low speed ai r into eaeh cage « 0,2 mIs at mouse
level ),

8) The central baffle system of the clear top directs air to the fro nt af the eage
optimismg the air circu lation

9) The special seal between cage and top minim ises leakage irrespective of pressure
mode

10) The integra l bottle depresslon accommodates an externa l water bottle with in the
overall Ive ca ge footprint and pravides the animals with access to fresll water
minim ising cage opening frequency.
When the bottle is removed an automatíe closing system comes in to actian .

9.10 CAGES REMOVAL

!MPORTANT

Anima! handling must be organised in such a way as to reduce to a minimum the

time in which the cages are removed from the rack.

It's important to observe that wh en the cages are removed from the rack, there's no air
circulation in the microenviro nment.

IMPORTANT

Empírica! studies ha ve demonstrated that in solid top cages the C02 threshold of
2,7% is reached after 22 minutes and the lethal 8,8% is reached after 135 minutes
without ventilation .

Measurements have also demonstrated that in filtered top cages the C02 threshold
of 2,7% is reached after 30 minutes whilst the maximum level reached is only 2,9% .

*
The aboye mentioned values have been measured in cages 1284L housing 5 mice
CD1 weighing approximately 35 g.

When the cages are removed from the rack, the integnty of the mlcroenviro nment is
guaran teed by the self-closing valves fitted in the cage top

ATTENTION

To protect both the animals and the personnel , Sealsafe cages must be opened only
in a changing station or in a laminar flow hood.

IMPORTANT

During the normal use of the unit do not remove more than two lines of cages per
rack .
!f only a few cages are in use, it 's necessary to fill complete!y the rack with cages
SEALSAFE !ye PAGE 15!)k 74

9.11 How ro CHECK THE PRESSURE

IMPORTANT

Pressure check is only possible when the optional pressure check device is f itted .

In arder to check th e pressure , press the appropriate pushbutton of the positive Unlt and ,
keeping it pushed, wait until the pressure read lng IS stea dy
The display wil l cha nge from the flow rate reading (m 3/h) to the pressure reading (Pa) .
The val ue is a differential static pressure reads between the test cage and the
enVII"o nment
Releasing the pushbutton Ule display will return again to the flow rate readmg ,
The test cage is connected to the transducer by a flexible ho le

*
The pressure achieved is strictly connected to the number and size of cages
connected to the unit.

9.12 How TO CALCULATE THE AIR CHANGES PER HOUR

The volume of the rack, comp lete with cages , 15 shown by a label on the rack itself

How ro CALCULATE THE ACH RATE IN POSITIVE MODE:

1) Read the aililow rate of the positive un it.

2) Calculate the total vo lume of the racks
3) Olv ide the positive flow rate by th e total vo lume.

EXAMPLE
Posi ti ve group air fl ow 180 m3/h

Volume rack 1 0,5 m 3

Volume rack 2 0,5 m 3
Volume rack 3 1 m 3

Total volu me = (0, 5+ 0,5+1 )= 2 mJ

AC H = (180/2) = 90 ACH

How ro CALCULATE THE ACH RATE IN NEGATIVE MODE:

1) Read the airflow rate of the negative unit
2) Calcu late th e total volume of the racks
S EALSAFE IVC PAGE 36 PI 7:.\

3) Divide the negative flow rate by th e tota l volume.

EXAMPLE
Negative group air flow

Volume rac k 1
