Streamline® Closed Restricted Access Barrier System (SLC-RABS)
The Streamline® Closed Restricted Access Barrier System (SLC-RABS) provides a safe and clean environment for the preparation of sterile non-hazardous drugs in compliance to the United States Pharmacopeia General Chapter <797>.
Closed Restricted Access Barrier System (cRABS) provides a full unidirectional airflow scheme for an ISO Class 5 environment for aseptic processing. SLC-RABS is designed with a rigid wall enclosure and glove port access for process manipulation; this prevents the risk of cross-contamination. The interior of the enclosure is manually sanitised with process components introduced via pass-through chambers.
As such, cRABS provide superior sterility as compared to open front clean air devices (laminar flow clean benches and Class II biological safety cabinets). These systems are a safe and efficient solution for the production of low-volume pharmaceuticals as well as with practices concerning:
Operator aseptic technique training
Expiration settings
Product quality maintenance (once CSP leaves the pharmacy)
Furthermore, cRABS can reduce operating and renovation costs by taking up less space than a traditional cleanroom facility.
- ULPA filters (as per IEST-RP-CC001.3 and HEPA (H14) filter as per EN 1822) with a typical efficiency of >99.995% at 0.1 to 0.3 microns, providing ISO Class 5 air cleanliness as per ISO 14644-1.
- Sentinel™ Gold Microprocessor controller supervises all functions and monitors airflow and pressures in real-time.
- For negatively pressured RABS, the work zone and pass-through chambers are under negative pressure to the room to maintain operator protection in the event of a breach in the system.
- Positively pressured configurations are under positive pressure to the room to ensure product protection.
- Robust dual-wall construction. The work zone is surrounded by negative pressure plenums at the sides and back. Unique Esco Dynamic Chamber™ plenum surrounds filter seals with negative pressure.
- Ergonomically angled front and oval gloveports improve reach and comfort.
- Safe-change cuff rings permit glove changing with zero risk of contaminating the work zone and/or pharmacy environment.
- Easy to clean one-piece work zone liner.
- Esco antimicrobial coating on all painted surfaces to minimize contamination.
- Sharps disposal system and hydraulic height adjustable stand are available as options.
Recirculating Airflow
- Ambient air is pulled through the inlet pre-filter and main filter located on top of the isolator.
- The downflow filter creates a laminar air flow providing ISO Class 5 air cleanliness (ISO 14644-1) to the main chamber and pass-through, with a down flow velocity of 0.30 m/s +/- 20%.
- Air from the work zone and pass-through is quickly purged out by the exhaust fan to keep the area clean. The fan pulls approximately 70% of the purged air back to the plenum, passes through the HEPA downflow filter again, and is recirculated back to the work zone and pass-through.
- Approximately 30% of the purged air is exhausted through the filter to prevent heat build-up inside the isolator.
- Exhausted air is replenished by ambient air coming from the top inlet prefilter that has 80% efficiency.
