Overview

The AireGard™ NU-340 boasts a low-profile console style design, ensuring a seamless fit even in spaces with restricted heights. Its robust stainless steel walls and work surface, enhanced with a PVC core, promise exceptional durability and easy cleanability. HEPA-filtered horizontal laminar airflow ensures ISO Class 5 air purity, making it ideal for sterile drug compounding in pharmacies or meticulous work in research labs. The ultra high efficiency mounted under the work surface draws air through a pre-filter and directs it through a backwall HEPA filter to create an ISO Class 5 level of air cleanliness. The Aeromax™ control system provides real-time airflow monitoring. Standard features include LED lighting and cord pass-throughs, with customizable options like polycarbonate walls, an IV bar, and more for tailored lab or pharmacy setups to meet USP 797 compliance.

Crafted for excellence, the stainless-steel sidewalls paired with a work surface fortified with a PVC core ensure impeccable robustness and ease of cleaning. An ideal primary engineering control for your pharmacy or the perfect clean air workbench for your microbiology laboratory.

With an innovative console design, the NU-340 smartly places its ultra high efficiency motor and air intake at the base, beneath the work surface. This streamlines its profile and enhances efficiency by deploying a reusable foam pre-filter, capturing larger airborne contaminants. This arrangement ensures an extended HEPA filter lifespan, driving down total ownership costs. Plus, with easy front access, pre-filter maintenance is a breeze.

Equipped standard with two cord pass-throughs on each sidewall, our product simplifies your workspace management. Whether using TPN Compounding Machines, Intravenous Workflow Management Systems, or Vacuum Aspiration Systems, effortlessly route and manage your power and data cords within the ISO Class 5 work zone. This intuitive feature promotes organization and ensures a seamless, clutter-free operation, enhancing safety and efficiency.

Our workstation boasts an ultra-high efficiency motor paired with a meticulously designed forward-curved fan located beneath the work surface. In tandem with the HEPEX zero-leak airflow system, this ensures consistent ISO Class 5 laminar airflow throughout the entire work zone. Furthermore, the integration of the HEPEX bag and the attenumount vibration control system not only minimizes vibration transfer, offering an ergonomic setup for technicians, but also provides protection for delicate cell cultures. As an added advantage, the HEPEX bag serves as an effective sound barrier, fostering a quieter and more conducive working environment for all technicians.

Maintenance contracts for NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation

A service visit on the NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation covers airflow measurement — inflow and downflow velocities — HEPA filter integrity testing, alarm and interlock checks, and the lighting, UV lamp and electrical safety, following the standard the cabinet is certified to.

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.

Containment and clean-air cabinets like the NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation are tested at installation, after they are moved or have a filter changed, and at least once a year — the interval NSF/ANSI 49 and EN 12469 set for biosafety cabinets and the usual practice for clean benches and fume hoods.

  • Inflow and downflow velocities measured against the rated values
  • HEPA filter integrity (leak) test
  • Airflow alarms, interlocks and sash checked
  • Lighting, UV lamp and electrical safety tested

Troubleshooting and repair for NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation

When NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation 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 containment cabinets the recurring faults are loaded or damaged HEPA filters, airflow that has drifted out of range, failed airflow alarms, and motor or blower problems.

Troubleshooting

How to troubleshoot NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation

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. Check that the sash or front window is at its working height and that the front grille is not blocked by paper, equipment or forearms.

  3. Read the airflow display or alarm: a low-airflow alarm right after start-up usually means blocked grilles or a loaded filter.

  4. Keep the work zone clear and let the cabinet run for its purge time before starting work; if the alarm persists, stop work and have the airflow measured.

  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 NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation.

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 NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation 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 NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation

AxiTech supplies NuAire AireGard NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Airflow Workstation 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.
