SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Because air filtration units can harbor potentially infectious organisms, technicians should
follow universal precautions for infection control (e.g., wearing respirators approved by the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [NIOSH], wearing gloves), especially
during prefilter or HEPA filter replacement or any other internal work on these units. Rubbing
or shaking filters can aerosolize trapped dust and thereby create an infection risk. Some units
incorporate special features or designs to contain the filter and minimize the potential for
spread of contamination. Used filters should be treated as infectious waste. Most filters are
disposable; reusable filters can be disinfected with a soaking spray of phenolic disinfectant or
undiluted bleach. (For more details on infection control, see IPM Safety.)

The internal surfaces of the mobile air filtration unit should be disinfected before internal
cleaning or maintenance. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for unit disinfection
procedures; most recommend gas disinfection using paraformaldehyde vapors. This type of
disinfection is best done outdoors.

If the mobile air filtration unit contains UVGI lamps, eye protection may be needed for some
procedures. Otherwise, ensure that the lamps are not activated whenever they can cause
personnel exposure.
