Class I protection principle – 100 % exhaust air, no recirculation
The SafeFAST Elite Class I is based on the 100 % air extraction safety concept:
- Air is drawn in through the front opening, ensuring a continuous airflow is directed away from the operator – this provides effective protection against aerosols, particles or infectious droplets.
- The drawn-in air flows through a G4 pre-filter (for coarse dust) and an H14 HEPA filter in accordance with EN 1822.
- The filtered air is then discharged directly into the surrounding environment – there is no air recirculation within the work area.
This design ensures constant personal protection, particularly when working with non-sterile or hazardous substances. Product protection is not the primary focus of Class I.
Areas of application – ideal for activities involving low to medium biological risk
The SafeFAST Elite Class I is ideal for applications where only personal protection is required. Typical areas of application:
- Microbiology: handling potentially infectious samples
- Virology: Diagnosis of viral diseases
- Haematology & serology: handling blood samples
- Cell cultures: where product sterility is not required
- Molecular biology & genetics: Working with DNA/RNA under safe conditions
The SafeFAST Elite Class I is also frequently used in veterinary, clinical or diagnostic facilities.
