Cytobox

Cytobox

Steril designs, manufactures and tests customised Cytoboxes for pharmaceutical companies to dispense/sample cytostatic drugs in a Class A work area in compliance with “GMP” and “EU” standards (please refer also to our catalogue of standard products). Cytobox is designed for those applications that require protection of the operator, of the product and the environment, from the effects caused by an uncontrolled spread of airborne contaminants and, at the same time, to avoid any contamination between the environment and biological product during processing.

Standard features

· Fluorescent light with electronic ballasts.

· Power socket 4 A, GERMAN TYPE IP 55 (internal back panel).

· DOP/DOS 100% test inlet hose-barb port (internal under worktop – left side).

· Stand support.

· 2 gloves.

· 2 pass boxes.

Construction structure in steel epoxy-polyester powder coated, resistant to the most common industrial disinfectants.

Work chamber and spillage tray in stainless steel AISI 304L “2B” finishing, smooth and sealed edges.

Working surface in stainless steel AISI 304L “2B” finishing, single piece solid worktop removable and autoclavable.

Ergonomics of the system with the possibility to adjust the position of the gloves respect to the plane of the floor according to the specific needs of operators via the automatic system

Front window, in laminated safety glass with cam lock to provide an easier access for large items. The cabinet is supplied with a transparent front screen, with opening counterbalanced by means of pre-compressed gas loaded piston situated outside the work zone. Opening 150°.

On the backside there is the predisposition for passages of between inside to outside of cables with a plug. During installation the plastic cover of the passage should be dismantled and assembled after that cable has been “trapped” inside the two half parts.

Lighting on working surface by means of fluorescent lamp fitted in non-contaminated area with electronic ballast.

Ventilation system by means of n°2 motor blowers centrifugal type, with protection factor IP55.

Air filtration, by means of H14 HEPA filters. All the filters are tested with scanning method for integrity with DOP/DOS. Protection grid, for main HEPA filter made by anodised aluminium.

The 3rd stage of absolute filtration, under the working surface, treats the whole 100% of the air to prevent contamination of Cytotoxic product from the inside of the cabinet to parts like construction structure, motor blower and other components.

Passbox

The passbox for input and output materials are characterized by the following functions:

· Manual opening of the door towards the outside. Simultaneous blocking of the inner door to prevent contamination of the working chamber.

· Wash cycle for a time setting: During this cycle you cannot open the inner door.

· Opening of the inner door using magnetic electric foot pedal.

The presence of passbox allows to ensure the maintenance of the class A inside the working chamber also during the insertion and loss of the material.

Customizable versions are available on request.
