Description
The TH-SSC-RX-304-230 is a high-capacity controlled-environment cabinet designed to maintain stored instruments within specified temperature, humidity and positive-pressure conditions. Its 304 stainless-steel interior, five adjustable shelves and high-rate HEPA-filtered air circulation support organized storage in hospitals, sterile processing departments, pharmacies, laboratories and other controlled healthcare environments.
An integrated retransmit system permits a portion of cabinet airflow and moisture to be routed back to the hospital’s main environmental system through compatible ceiling duct connections. The retransmit kit is intended for straightforward, plug-and-play installation, subject to facility engineering approval and final duct-interface verification. The stated configuration and dimensions are derived from the supplied parameter schedule.

Retransmit Function
The cabinet is configured to retransmit a controlled portion of moisture and airflow to the hospital’s main environmental or ventilation system.
The retransmit package is intended to include:
- Cabinet-side airflow connection
- Ceiling-duct interface capability
- Compatible duct transition or connection hardware
- Plug-and-play controls
- Accessible service connections
- Installation and operating instructions
- Coordination provisions for facility engineering personnel
Final duct size, airflow balance, backflow prevention, condensation control and building-management-system compatibility must be confirmed through approved shop drawings before installation.
UV-C Safety and Use Statement
The UV-C system is intended as a supplemental surface-disinfection feature within the enclosed cabinet. It is not represented as a substitute for validated sterilization, reprocessing or infection-control procedures.
The cabinet must incorporate:
- A separate UV-C control switch
- A programmable operating cycle
- A visible operating-status indicator
- An interlock that disables UV-C exposure when the cabinet is opened
- Warning labels and operating instructions
- Lamp replacement and preventive-maintenance guidance
UV-C lamp quantity, wattage, placement and cycle duration are to be finalized by the manufacturer based on chamber geometry, irradiance mapping and the required disinfection objective.
Standard Configuration
Each cabinet is proposed to include:
- Controlled-environment cabinet assembly
- Five adjustable shelves
- HEPA filtration system
- Temperature, humidity and pressure controls
- Integral steam humidifier and refillable reservoir
- Interior LED lighting
- UV-C lamp assembly with independent controls
- UV-C personnel-safety interlock
- Programmable timer
- Operating-status indicator
- Locking front casters and mobility handles
- Ten-foot hospital-grade power cord
- Ceiling-duct retransmit kit
- Operating and maintenance documentation
Compliance Statement
The product shall be furnished in accordance with the accepted technical submittal and purchase order. Any offered equivalent must meet or exceed every stated salient characteristic. Deviations must be identified clearly and may not be incorporated without written authorization from the purchaser or Contracting Officer.
Claims regarding ISO-class performance, HEPA classification, positive pressure, UV-C effectiveness and retransmit operation must be supported by manufacturer documentation, factory testing or commissioning data. Buy American, Trade Agreements Act, VA technical-acceptance and domestic-content status remain subject to the offered manufacturer, country of origin and applicable solicitation clauses.
Warranty
Recommended Commercial Warranty: Minimum one-year parts and labor warranty from the date of installation or acceptance.
The final warranty should identify coverage for:
- Environmental controls
- Sensors and digital display
- Blower and HEPA filtration system
- Steam humidification components
- UV-C controls and interlocks
- Casters and cabinet hardware
- Retransmit-kit components
Consumable HEPA filters, UV-C lamps and routine maintenance items may be excluded unless specifically included in the awarded contract.
Availability
Made-to-order commercial configuration. Production and delivery schedules are subject to approved technical drawings, retransmit-interface confirmation, facility utility requirements and final purchase-order acceptance.
