ChemoSHIELD®

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ChemoSHIELD® Compounding Aseptic Containment Isolator (CACI) is engineered for the safe handling of hazardous pharmaceutical compounds, such as chemotherapy agents and IV admixtures. It ensures a contained, leak-tight negative pressure environment to protect pharmacy personnel and maintain product integrity.
Specifications: The CACI provides ISO Class 5 air cleanliness with unidirectional HEPA-filtered airflow, features a slanted, top-hinged viewscreen for easy access, includes ergonomic oval gloveports, and has a spacious negative pressure interchange for material transfer.
Safety and Performance: The isolator ensures containment of hazardous compounds with its negative pressure design, mechanical interlocks to prevent simultaneous door openings, and a mass airflow monitor with audio/visual alarms for airflow issues.
Ergonomic Features: It includes an adjustable stand for seated or standing operation, a slanted viewscreen made of shatterproof acrylic, and fluorescent lighting to minimize heat and improve eye comfort.
Containment and Protection: The negative pressure in both the main chamber and interchange ensures containment, with HEPA filters providing better than ISO Class 5 air quality and a bag-out provision for safe filter removal.
Design and Construction: The interior is made of type 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, with a plenum design for uniform airflow and extended filter life. The exterior features a durable, scratch-resistant PermaWhite™ powder-coated finish.
Controls and Utilities: The system has minimized on-board controls due to an external exhaust system, easy-to-read magnehelic gauges for pressure monitoring, and a single power cord for electrical connection.
Options and Accessories: Available options include vinyl bags for filter disposal, adjustable footrest, seismic restraints, and replacement gloves/sleeves.
Compliance and Testing: The CACI meets or exceeds CETA CAG 002-06 standards, is UL certified for safety, and each unit undergoes a complete physical test before shipping.
Exhaust Requirements: Cabinets for chemotherapy drug preparation must be exhausted outdoors to prevent hazardous drug vaporization, complying with NIOSH alerts and requiring an externally vented exhaust system.
Warranty Information: The Baker Company, Inc. offers a warranty ensuring goods meet specifications and are free from defects for 36 months in the U.S. and 12 months internationally, covering repairs or replacement of defective parts, excluding incidental or consequential damages.
