Instructions

1. Close the hood and turn on its germicidal ultraviolet (UV) light. Let it run for
several minutes. This disinfects the surfaces inside the hood.
2. Turn off the UV light. Turn on the blower and the regular light.

3. Raise the hood slowly until you feel resistance, and then stop. Raising the hood
beyond this point reduces its effectiveness; many hoods have a warning system
that will buzz if you raise the hood too high.

4. Wear laboratory gloves, and wipe them down with alcohol every time you insert
your hands under the hood.

5. Wipe the surfaces inside the hood with alcohol on a clean paper towel, to provide
further disinfection. Wipe the surfaces of all materials you intend to use before
placing them into the hood.

6. Move the supplies for your procedure inside the hood. Keep them a few inches
back from the front of the hood to ensure that they remain uncontaminated. Do
not place them too far back, as this may interfere with the airflow.

7. Remove all of your supplies when you are done using the hood. You should never
store anything in a laminar flow hood.

8. Wipe down the surfaces inside the hood with alcohol once again, and close the
hood.

9. Turn on the UV light again. Let it run for several minutes, and then turn it off.
