Overview

The LabGard® NU-813 Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) delivers trusted Class I containment for the safe manipulation of hazardous powders and aerosols in pharmacy, laboratory, and R&D environments. Engineered for compliance with USP , COSHH, and global safety standards, the NU-813 is ideal for non-sterile hazardous drug compounding, chemical weighing, and toxicology workflows. Available in 3-, 4-, and 6-foot benchtop models, the NU-813 features HEPA-filtered negative pressure airflow, real-time digital airflow monitoring with Aeromax™, and a quiet, energy-efficient EC motor. Its compact footprint and optional telescoping base stand make it a flexible solution for compounding pharmacies, biotech labs, academic research facilities, and industrial applications requiring high-performance containment. From oncology drug preparation to powder weighing and analytical sample prep, the NU-813 protects personnel while optimizing workspace integration, certification readiness, and peace of mind.

The bag-in/bag-out feature ensures accredited certifier safety during exhaust HEPA filter changes, allowing direct containment of the old filter within a bag, eliminating exposure to contaminants for maximum protection.

The NU-813 offers adaptable exhaust configurations to align with your pharmacy needs: single exhaust HEPA for a facility exhaust system connection and a redundant filter option for recirculating air back into the pharmacy environment. This flexibility ensures USP 800 compliance, making the NU-813 CVE an ideal Containment Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC) for compounding nonsterile hazardous drugs.

Featuring stainless steel airfoils, the NU-813 streamlines the protective inflow into the work zone and provides ergonomic armrest comfort for operators. Standard cord pass-throughs on both sides enhance equipment integration like IV workflow systems, while optional waste chutes and shelves offer tailored adaptability for laboratory and pharmacy environments.

Maintenance contract — AxiTech provides planned preventive maintenance for Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure from NuAire: scheduled visits, safety checks, periodic calibration and a documented service report, backed by a contractual response time.

Troubleshooting, repair and spare parts — our biosafety cabinets & laminar flow engineers diagnose and repair Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure on site or in the workshop, fit genuine spare parts and recommission the equipment after performance verification.

Maintenance contracts for Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure

AxiTech provides preventive maintenance contracts for Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure. Each contract fixes a schedule of planned visits in which our biomedical engineers inspect the equipment, replace wear parts before they fail, and verify that it still performs inside the manufacturer’s tolerances.

Every visit includes calibration and performance verification, and closes with a documented maintenance report you can present during an accreditation audit. Spare-parts availability and a guaranteed response time are written into the contract, so a breakdown never leaves a department waiting for an answer.

Patient-monitoring and life-support devices should be checked every six months, with electrical-safety testing and sensor calibration at each visit.

  • Planned preventive maintenance visits at a fixed interval
  • Calibration and performance verification against the manufacturer’s specifications
  • A documented maintenance report after every intervention
  • Guaranteed availability of spare parts and consumables
  • A contractual response time when the equipment fails

Troubleshooting and repair for Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure

When Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure fails, our engineers start with a structured diagnostic: error codes, electrical and mechanical checks, and a functional test against the equipment’s own specification. That tells us whether the fault is a consumable, a worn part or a board-level failure before any part is ordered.

Straightforward faults are repaired on site so the department loses as little time as possible. Anything that needs a workbench, a full strip-down or a specialised spare part goes to our workshop and comes back only after a complete post-repair test and, where the equipment requires it, recalibration.

Faults we see most often on this type of equipment

On monitoring and life-support equipment the faults are dominated by worn cables, probes and cuffs, batteries that no longer hold their charge, and pressure or flow sensors that have drifted.

Troubleshooting

How to troubleshoot Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure

Work through these checks before you escalate. They are the same first-line sequence our biomedical engineers run on arrival, and they either clear the fault or narrow it down enough that the intervention starts with the right spare part in the van.

  1. Capture the fault before you touch anything: write down the exact error code or message, the serial number from the rating plate, what the operator was doing and whether the fault clears on a restart.

  2. Swap the accessory before you suspect the device — cable, probe, sensor, cuff or electrode set. Accessories fail far more often than monitors, and the swap takes minutes.

  3. Run the device on mains, then on battery alone. A unit that only works on mains has a battery or charging fault, not a measurement fault.

  4. Verify against a known-good reference — a simulator, a second monitor or a manual measurement — so you can tell a wrong reading from no reading at all.

  5. If the fault is still there, escalate with the evidence. Send AxiTech the model, serial number, error code and the checks you have already run, and an engineer will come back with a diagnosis, a repair quote and a spare-parts lead time for Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure.

What to send us when you report the fault

  • Manufacturer, model and serial number, from the rating plate
  • The exact error code or message, and the screen it appears on
  • When the fault started, how often it occurs and what triggers it
  • A photograph of the display or of the fault, and the last maintenance report

If the fault survives all five steps, stop using Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure and open a repair request. Continuing to run equipment through a fault it cannot clear turns a component failure into a board-level one, and on devices used for diagnosis or therapy it puts the result — and the patient — in doubt.

Buying and installing Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure

AxiTech supplies Class IContainment Ventilated Enclosure together with the accessories and consumables it needs to enter service. We handle importation, delivery and installation, then commission the equipment on site so that it is verified against its specification before the first patient or the first sample.

Installation is followed by training for the users and for your biomedical team, warranty registration, and — if you want it — a maintenance contract that takes over the day the warranty ends, so the equipment never spends a period without planned service.
