0   PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING OF DYNAMIC PASS BOX:

 Precautions during handling of dynamic pass box:

o Ensure that the UV light shall not glow while opening the door.

o Ensure that the pass box doors closed properly.

o Do not open the doors on both sides at the same time to avoid contamination.
 Cleaning of Dynamic Pass Box:

o Open the pass box door by pushing the Press Release

o Clean the inner sides as well as the outer side of Pass Box with clean & lint-free cloth.

o Sanitize its inner surface using 70 % IPA.

o Sanitize the outer surface of Pass Box using 70 % IPA and close the door.

o Fill the cleaning status as per Annexure-1 and a respective logbooks.

o Cleaning frequency: Daily morning and whenever required.
 Operation of Dynamic Pass Box:

o Switch on the main Power Supply.

o After Power Supply the motor blower shall start automatically.

o After 30 Minutes record the Pressure differential of Magnehelic gauge in mm of the water column in the pressure
differential record of dynamic pass box as per Annexure-2.

o Switch “ON” the UV light and let it in operation for 30 minutes.

o After 30 minutes switch OFF the UV light and enter the burning hour details of UV as per Annexure-2

o Check the burning hours of UV light by its auto recorder.

o Total burning hours should not be greater than 1000 Hours.

o If the working hours are more than 1000 hrs. replace the UV light by the new one.

o Open of the pass box door by pushing the Press Release Switch.

o Place the required materials.

o Motor blower is continuously switched on until the material is there in the pass box.

o After replacing the material from the pass box close the door of the pass box.

o If any drop in pressure differential of the Magnehelic gauge of dynamic pass box is observed during operation,

o Then inform maintenance personnel for pre-filter cleaning and enter the details in Annexure-2.
 Monitoring Performance of Dynamic Pass Box:

o Prepare the Plates of Soyabean casein digest Agar with glycerol (if required) as per respective SOP.

o Pre incubate the plates before exposure at 30°C to 35°C for 24 Hours.

o Ensure that the dynamic pass box is ON for a minimum of 30 minutes before exposing the plates.

o Expose these plates for 4 hours on two locations for Passive air sampling & one location for Active air sampling
(1000 L Air) of the dynamic pass box.
 
o After exposure, plates are incubated at 30-35°C for 48-72 hours to get the no. of bacterial colonies & further the
same plate incubate at 20-25°C for 48-72 hours to get the fungal count.

o Enter the result of total viable counts in Annexure-3.

o Keep one negative control plate without exposure.

o Limit: Active Air sampling: NMT 200 CFU/m3        Passive Air sampling: NMT 100 CFU/Plate

o Frequency: Weekly
 Qualification of Dynamic Pass box
o
o Frequency: Once in six months ±15 days.
o
o The qualification of DPB required:

o If any failure observed during routine monitoring.

o In case of breakdown, maintenance, preventive maintenance.

o In case of a change in the installation location.

o As per schedule
 Operational tests of Dynamic Passbox Qualification:

o The following tests are performed during qualification and results are within acceptance criteria.

o
 PAO/DOP testing (integrity testing) of the HEPA filter.

o
 Particle count test

o
 Air velocity test.

o PAO/DOP Test ( filter integrity testing):

o Feed the PAO (Poly Alfa Olefin)/DOP Aerosol at the suction of blower.

o Measure the upstream concentration of PAO/DOP as a 100% concentration.

o Do the scanning after HEPA filter.

o Acceptance criteria: The penetration level should be less than 0.01%.

o Particle count test:

o Ensure that particle count of the work station is done by using a calibrated airborne particulate matter counter.

o Ensure that the sampling station is cleaned.

o Run the blower at least 1 hour before taking the particle count.

o Take the samples at 5 different locations.

o Acceptance criteria: Particle count of size 0.5 micron and large should not be more than 100 particles per cubic
feet & 5 micron and large should not be more than 0 particles per cubic feet

o Air Velocity Test:
 
o Start the pass box.

o Take the air velocity by calibrated anemometer 6” away from the grill at five different locations in ft./min.

o Acceptance criteria: Average air velocity should 90±20 ft./min.

o Qualification shall be done by the external agency if the facility not available at the location.

o After Completion of Qualification writes the details and pest as per Annexure-3.
