CI-97 100 LPM Microbial Air Sampler.
21 CFR Part 11 Data & User Integrity Compliant.
The most advanced portable microbial air sampler, it is specifically designed for the pharmaceutical & life science industries. The CI-97 automates the collection and export of compendial metadata to provide complete User and Data Integrity in compliance of 21 CFR Part 11. Includes a User Audit Trail, onboard sample memory buffer for 50,000 records, audit reports, and much more! Meets all requirements and recommendations for ISO 14698-1 and BS EN 17141. Easily exports sample records to Lonza MODA, and other LIMS. More critically, users can expect to eliminate or mitigate deviation reports and investigations due to interval calibration out-of-tolerance conditions.
Drop and vibration tested (ISTA Procedure 3A Certified).
Stainless steel enclosure, audit reports, advanced data & user integrity features.
New Patented or Patent Pending Blower Technology.
Ultra-Clean and Ultra-Quiet Operation.
The CI-97 is a high efficiency microbial air sampler that's suitable for pharmaceutical cleanrooms and aseptic environments.The CI-97 is drop and vibration tested, certified to ISTA Procedure 3a, and afterwards passed its calibration. Pharmaceutical and industrial grade, the enclosure is 100% stainless steel that weighs only 7 lbs.
The CI-97 has an internal HEPA filtered exhaust, and incorporates an internal hot-wire anemometer that automatically adjusts flow rate ensuring the CI-97 is always within calibration. Combined with Climet's unique light ring, an audible alarm, and sample termination virtually eliminates the risk of deviation reports and investigations caused by interval calibration out-of-tolerance conditions.
A capacitive touch screen allows users to run GMP metadata reports, view pdf audit reports, and provides pinch-to-zoom and scroll capabilities. The screen operates normally when used with a double or even triple-gloved hands.
The CI-97 is both pretty and smart. With industry-leading cyber security features and unparalleled data/user integrity, the instrument complies fully with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and all ALCOA principles.
The air sampler uniquely provides users with up to 300 programs, 300 UserIDs, and 1,000 locations (factory expandable). The Five Access levels offers security, flexibility, and automation once only found in particle counters.
The onboard 50,000 sample data memory buffer stores the following metadata: Date, Time, UnitID, UserID, Model#, Serial#, Program Name, LocationID, Sample Volume (L), Flow Rate (LPM), Sample Type (Continuous or Segmented), Number of Segments, Sample Duration (start and end timestamp with duration), Alarm Status, Calibration Date, Calibration Due Date, and more! This metadata can be transmitted to LIMS through Ethernet, Serial Data Communications, or USB, in similar fashion as particle counter metadata.
Additionally, pdf reports such as User Audit Trails, GMP metadata reports, audit logs, stored data, and program settings are provided.
Enhanced network login through Active Directory using LDAP protocols is also an optional feature through Climet's User Authenticator.
Personnel are the most significant cause of biological contamination in a cleanroom (Ref. USP <1116>). During routine environmental monitoring, deviations have been caused by cleanroom personnel unknowingly walking too closely to a microbial air sampler while engaged. The shedding of macro particles and microbe carrying particles subsequently causing a excursion event.
Where Climet CI-97 units have been deployed, pharmaceutical manufactures report fewer deviations as the light ring provides a clear indication that a sample is in progress. Climet's unique light ring also turns red providing a ground-level indication of a flow alarm. In the words of one user, "It's not just pretty, it's also smart!"
Click here to download an Application Note regarding regulatory changes between ISO 14698-1:2003(E) and BS EN 17141:2020. The application note also describes the comprehensive testing and validation of both physical and biological collection efficiency, which demonstrates the CI-9x Series are high efficiency and high precision instruments.
Satisfies all requirements of BS EN 17141:2020, as it pertains to the d50 (i.e., the particle size at which there is a 50% physical collection efficiency).
Confirms the CI-9x Family are high efficiency and precision air samplers.
The front USB 2.0 Type A (data) port is for downloading sample data onto a flash drive. Pharmaceutical users will frequently want to electronically disable this port through the Admin settings. Alternatively, we can physically disable this port during manufacture or through a service request, typically during an interval calibration.
The rear USB 2.0 Type B (communications) port is used exclusively for Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS). This is a proprietary Microsoft communications protocol that provides a virtual Ethernet link to most versions of Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Sample data cannot be downloaded onto an external flash drive with the rear USB communications port. This is a valuable communications feature when wired Ethernet connectivity cannot practicably be deployed.
The CI-97's entire enclosure is stainless steel, which is compatible with common cleaning and sterilization procedures. If wiped-down with a diluted bleach solution, we recommend a second wipe-down with sterilized water as bleach will cause stainless steel to rust. Climet also recommends users VHP the CI-97 at least quarterly while the instrument is engaged. This will allow VHP to enter the flow path and HEPA filter, disinfecting the interior of the instrument helping to mitigate cross contamination. The CI-97 is fully 100% VHP compatible with no reduction in our standard 2-year warranty.

The CI-97 is truly the next generation of microbial air sampler, with onboard intelligence unsurpassed on the market today, it provides Climet a platform for future enhancements, and scalability to satisfy custom technical requirements.
An expert in manufacturing industrial instrumentation, every new Climet instrument design is drop and vibration tested ensuring end-users can expect up to a decade (and beyond) of reliable operation. This level of ruggedized testing is unique in the industry, and ensures accidents don't turn into capital appropriation requests or expensive repair bills.
Each CI-97 deployed in the Life Science industry must have a HEPA Filtered Exhaust, or otherwise risk regulatory action (i.e., an observation, finding, etc.) due to rouge particle emissions. Over the past 50 years our own experience confirms that not all HEPA filters are created equal, and that among the more expensive and higher quality filters an average of 10% still fail a leak integrity test. For this reason, Climet is the only manufacture that conducts emissions tests on every new factory model, and certifies emissions to ISO Class 3. This provides an added level of assurance to users that their microbial air samplers are not adding to the particle burden of their cleanroom.
Customers in regulated industries are generally required to re-calibrate their particle counters at least annually. Depending on the process or risk assessment, more frequent interval calibration may be required. When a particle counter is out-of-tolerance (OOT) during the interval calibration, a deviation report and investigation is required in regulated industries. Among pharmaceutical and biotechnology producers, a simple failure investigation costs between $8,000 to $12,000 on average assuming no scrap or batch rejection. This cost is difficult to calculate as it's almost all labor and usually involves multiple departments. It is a hidden Cost of Poor Quality (CoPQ) associated with the instrument. As the cost of one simple failure investigation well exceeds the initial purchase price of a microbial air sampler, we can conclude that CoPQ is frequently the #1 cost driver.
Internal and external studies confirm that since 2005, when Climet first started manufacturing microbial air samplers, we have yet to hear of even one report of a Climet microbial air samplers failing an interval calibration. These statistics are absolutely unparalleled in the industry, and Climet uniquely provides value well beyond the simple use of the instrumentation.
