Bag-In-Bag-Out Containment System

Bag-In-Bag-Out Containment System

A bag-in bag-out containment system is crucial when replacing isolator filters.

This system protects the operator and the outside environment, which must remain clean. Contaminants are trapped in the HEPA filters. When changing the filters, any form of direct contact must be avoided. Learn more about the bag-in bag-out containment system in this article.

Purpose of a Bag-In Bag-Out Containment System

Different types of products can be used inside an isolator. These products can be highly active compounds (HPAPI) or all forms of toxic powders. In order for the filter replacement operation to take place safely, the hermetic enclosure must have a bag-in bag-out containment system. In this way, the used filters are recycled without contact with the operator and the outside environment.

The adoption of the bag-in-bag-out containment system is the safest method compared to the use of a push-push filter. In the case of a push-push filter, the old filter is ejected into the hermetic enclosure and a new filter is inserted in its place. In contrast, a bag-in-bag-out system removes used filters from the glove box structure and wraps them in a containment bag. This guarantees the non-contamination of the outside atmosphere and the operator.

The filter replacement operation is always considered potentially hazardous. This is why, despite the high efficiency of the bag-in-bag-out containment system, your operator must wear personal protective equipment.
