GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY and strictly follow the chronological order of
installation, operation, storage and maintenance steps.
•Do not incline the device without support at an angle greater than 10° in relation to the floor.
Caution, it may topple over.
•When storing or transporting the machine in cold conditions, wait at least 2 hours before operating
the device and then run it alone an additional hour before using it with a patient.
•The unit should be used at room temperature and humidity, with dust levels below 0.1 mg/m3.
•In case of intense bio-cleaning of the room where the equipment is installed, it is strongly
recommended to temporarily stop its operation to prevent potential release of bad smells from
stage 4 of the HEPA-MD technology induced by relative humidity peaks.
•Do not let any liquid penetrate the system.
•Do not place the device near a heat source.
•Do not use the device in the presence of flammable gas.
•Never obstruct or cover the equipment inlet (intake) or outlet (exhaust grille) during operation.
•Do not operate the device without the prefilter.
•Strictly use airinspace®supplies to replace the prefilter (see section 3 - §3.9.1 - Prefilter
management).
•Switch off the equipment and unplug the mains supply before opening the front door. Do not place
your hands near the fan before it has come to a complete stop.
•Do not twist, stretch or damage the power supply cable.
•Plug the device exclusively into outlets that meet safety regulations, have been regularly
inspected and are grounded.
•Unplug the device when not in use for extended periods.
ATTENTION : BEFORE ANY INTERVENTION CONCERNING AN ELECTRICAL ELEMENT,
TURN OFF THE DEVICE AND UNPLUG IT.
ATTENTION : WORK ON THE PLASMAIR™(ELECTRIC CIRCUIT, ELECTRONIC CARDS, FAN,

1.6 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
1.6.1.1 Intented use
The PLASMAIR™Guardian is a mobile air decontamination unit, effective on moulds, bacteria,
viruses and spores. As a mobile unit designed to control air quality and fight health-care acquired
infections, the PLASMAIR™Guardian is positioned at neuralgic points of the hospital, anywhere
where the risk of airborne contamination must be controlled.
1.6.1.2 PLASMAIRTM Operating principles
The PLASMAIR™Guardian sucks in, treats and diffuses back the air of the room. Through the
combined action of 3 principles, PLASMAIR™Guardian quickly abates ambient contamination and
maintain it to a low level thus preventing nosocomial infection risk.
Its important air recycling rate, 10 to 20 folds the room volume per hour, enables a quick abatement
of the average contamination level through dilution process. Typically, a pollution peak generated by
a door opening is reduced by 90% in less than 10 minutes.
Inside the PLASMAIR™Guardian, the airflow passes through a HEPA-MDTM technology
decontamination reactor. This innovative technology, which equips all airinspace® devices,
combines the destruction of airborne microorganisms with very high efficiency particulate filtration
through the joint action of non-thermal plasmas and electrically active collection media.
By sucking low to the floor and blowing close to the ceiling, the 1.95m PLASMAIR™Guardian
ensures an optimal aeraulic sweep of the room by the "Coanda" effect and eliminates
undecontaminated dead zones. The risk of increasing contamination by mixing the ambient air during
periods of activity (care or other) is thus minimised.

1.7 SETTING UP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTA : If the device is delivered without carrying case, skip to step 3.
Unpacking (optional)
1. Move the transport case as close as possible to a clean, flat floor space.
2. Remove the unit from the transport case:
-remove the side panels and the cover,
-fit the case access ramp,
-carefully remove the unit from the case.
ATTENTION : DO NOT PULL ON THE FRONT OF THE UNIT.
THE UNIT IS HEAVY (191 KG) HANDLING AND UNLOADING MUST BE
CARRIED OUT BY TWO PERSONS.
TO AVOID ANY RISK OF TIPPING WHEN REMOVING FROM THE TRANSPORT
CASE, HOLD THE UPPER PART OF THE UNIT WHEN DESCENDING THE
RAMP.
Reception
3. Only move the unit by means of the handle (1) and, if necessary, by the gripping areas (2) situated on
either side at the front of the machine (aluminium profile sections).
Generally, one person is sufficient to move the unit, since it has been sized to fit most doors and lifts.
ATTENTION : USE A RAMP TO CROSS BLOCKS MORE THAN 1 CM HIGH.
4. Once the unit is in the area where it will be used, lock the front wheel brakes.
5. Carefully examine the device on delivery and make sure all the items on the packing list are present.
6. Open the front door and remove the reactor modules stored inside and packed in protective sachets.
Remove the prefilter by lifting the prefilter access flap.
7. Carry out internal and external biocleaning of the unit with hospital disinfection products used in the
establishment (see Section 3.8.- Maintenance - Biocleaning).

User Manual PA GuardianEN_ed17_04-juillet-2022 14 / 51
8. Unpack the reactor modules and the prefilter. Fit them in the PLASMAIR™(see § 3.9.1 - Prefilter
management and § 3.9.2 –Changing a reactor).
9. Connect the unit to a secure electric plug. (see § 1.6.4 –Physical specifications)
10. Switch on the unit and check that it starts up correctly (see Section 2.2 - Starting).
11. Note anomalies and any damage on the delivery sheet and notify the distributor or airinspace®.If you
wish to contact the manufacturer or distributor, please make sure to provide the serial number and
date of purchase.
Position in the room
For an optimum position, favour the locations shown in the diagram below in the preferred order: A, B
,…, E.
Generally, airinspace®recommends positioning the unit so that the blown airflow faces the length of
the room and covers the largest area possible when taking into account a 90° open coverage range.
NOTA : 1) When the room is already fitted with built-in mechanical ventilation of the unidirectional flow
type, we recommend that you avoid pointing the PLASMAIR™unit towards this flow as much
as possible to avoid any disruption to it.
NOTA : 2) When the room is already fitted with built-in mechanical ventilation of the turbulent flow type,
we recommend that you position the PLASMAIR™unit using the previously stated
recommendations rather than considering a relative direction to the built-in flow (identical or
opposite direction).
1.8 INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVAL AND STORAGE
1. Switch off and unplug the equipment.
2. Tidy the power supply cable.
3. Protect the device by using the zipped storage cover.
4. Release the brakes on the two front pivoting castors.
5. Push the unit to its storage area.

User Manual PA GuardianEN_ed17_04-juillet-2022 15 / 51
6. Lock the brakes on the two front pivoting castors.
7. The unit must be stored in a clean area with an atmosphere not polluted by industrial activities.
The unit must be protected from dust, sunlight, heat, frequent changes in temperature and humidity,
chemicals or other corrosive products.

1.9 TRANSPORT
Before transporting it, protect the unit from shocks and abrasion.
Transportation should be carried out by personnel instructed and qualified to do so.
Equipment to handle or lift the unit, alone or in its original case must comply with applicable regulatory
texts (resources used by the carrier or the user).
Moving the equipment alone without its original case must only be done using the castors fitted to it. Do
not lift using straps or a fork lift.
When transporting, the unit (or the case) must remain vertical, firmly anchored, and kept in an
enclosed area (not transported in the open air on a platform, for example).
Respect the handling direction of the transport box:

2.4 HANDLING WARNINGS AND ALARMS
2.4.1 DEFINITIONS
A warning message is sent by the controller when a malfunction leads to degradation of device
performance (decontamination, pressure drop, sound level) or when a filter needs to be
replaced.
NOTA : The warning situation is indicated by the yellow backlight of the key, the ventilation
still works but the filtering performance may be degraded. The green led shuts down
and is replaced by the following pictogram: .
example:
An alarm message is sent by the unit's system when personal or property safety are at stake.
An alarm is systematically accompanied by the fan and the high voltage power supply being
shut down. No further decontamination function is ensured. The controller remains switched on.
NOTA : The alarm is indicated by the extinction of the green led, the lighting of the red led
and the red backlight of the key.
