s@feflow 1.2
S@feflow Cabinets are made in Italy for Cruma by Euroclone under the brand Bioair, and supplied in three different sizes (0.9 mt, 1.2 mt and 1.8 mt). These highly sophisticated Microbiological Safety Cabinets Class II Type A2, provide the highest safety for the operator and the environment for them anipulation of Risk Groups1to3 of pathogens (WHO Classification of Infective Microorganisms by Risk Group, 2004). The internal design, the air flow aerodynamics and monitoring, the built-in safety devices and the comprehensive range of unique options, guarantees the highest performances at the most stringent safety levels, higher than those specified by EN12469 standard and have been certified by all the most prestigious European certification bodies for Safety Cabinets (Germany, UK and France). Certified intrinsic biological safety, combined with highly sophisticated interactive features and options, gives the end user, the environment and the product an ultimate microbiological safety that only experienced European design with over 35 years of know how and accurate quality manufacturing, can provide.
NOTE: This product can be delivered under Cruma or Bioair brand, depending on availability.

check-ups and validations
International standards for the design and operation of laminar flow cabinets, clean rooms and related systems, such as BS 7989:2001, EN-12469 and EN-ISO-14644 (all of which are observed in CRUMA models) recommend that cabinets should be inspected once a year.
This inspection should really be a validation or qualification, i.e., it should be carried out in accordance with a protocol created by CRUMA (PCO 002/03 Protocol of Operational Qualification) and based on that set out in the above standards.
In Spain, these qualification operations will have to be performed by ENAC (National Accrediting Agency) -certified companies or any of its accredited offices, and authorized by CRUMA, who is responsible for advising them on the implantation of the qualification
protocol. In practice, CRUMA has its own laminar flow cabinets validation service performed by companies that are certified and have proven experience in the field.

The protocols (PCO 00/03 and PCO 002/03) currently employed by CRUMA in validation and checkup operations are in general comprised of the following procedures:
• Visual inspection to determine state of conservation.
• Airflow rate and uniformity test.
• Filter frame case air-tightness test.
• Filter medium air- tightness test.
• Airflow distribution test (Smoke test).
• Particle count and class determination.
• Temperature.
• Relative humidity.
• Electrical test.
Once the above procedures have been performed, a technical report containing the following points is issued:
• Description of the work procedures performed.
• Copy of the current calibration certificates of each measurement unit used.
• Diagram of the cabinet with the coded location of sample points.
• Results obtained.
• Certificate of cabinet performance
