Sistema-MK Handheld Airflow Visualization Fogger

Sistema-MK Fog Pistol EVO Series Handheld Airflow Visualization Fogger

The SISTEMA Fog Pistol EVO Handheld Neutral Buoyant Cleanroom Airflow Mapping Fog Pistol is designed for micro-confined spaces, critical process points, and sterile barrier systems. It is widely used for visual verification of unidirectional flow, turbulence, dead zones, and leaks in Class A/B cleanrooms, sterile isolators, restricted access barrier systems (RABS), biosafety cabinets (Class II Type A2/B2 BSC), laminar flow sampling/dispensing hoods (LAF hoods), and glove boxes.


I. Fully compliant with international aseptic process regulations and standards, including ISO 14644-3 (Annex B7 Airflow Direction / Annex B12 Airflow Field Visualization), EU GMP Annex 1 (Sterile Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Annex), US FDA Aseptic Processing Guidelines, USP <797>, USP <800>, NSF 49 Biosafety Cabinet Certification Standards, and Federal Standard 209E.


II. The core technology utilizes advanced hot wire thermal vaporization, combined with the patented "Zero Momentum Fog-to-Cloud Modulation" system, to instantly generate high-density, pure white (Paper White) oil-free ultrapure micro-mist with true neutral buoyancy. The mist flows with the air without being disturbed by thermal buoyancy rising or gravity sinking, completely and realistically restoring the physical trajectory of airflow.


III. Patented VISUFLUID medical-grade formula (ultra-pure deionized water > 75% + medical-grade triethylene glycol < 25%), 100% non-toxic and residue-free, harmless to HEPA/ULPA ultra-high efficiency filters, dissipates naturally after testing, and requires no cleaning or wiping.


IV. Anodized aerospace-grade aluminum alloy ergonomic gun body (corrosion resistant and resistant to IPA alcohol and conventional disinfectant wiping), the whole machine weighs only about 1 kg; equipped with an external high-energy rechargeable lithium battery handle, supporting continuous full-load operation for up to 60 minutes on a single charge, achieving ultimate mobility without the need for cables or external air sources.






Equipment Introduction


  • Meets the latest international aseptic standards and strict requirements.

    • Designed specifically to meet EU GMP Annex 1 Dynamic Smoke Study, FDA aseptic process inspection and ISO 14644-3 standards.

    • It is specifically used to verify the effectiveness of sterile barriers, turbulence during door opening, dynamic airflow during glove operation, exhaust-suction balance, and biosafety cabinet opening protection.

  • Neutral Buoyancy & Zero Momentum

    • The patented modulation cavity completely eliminates the initial velocity impulse of traditional jet-type smoke generators, allowing the micromist to be gently released in the form of a "zero initial velocity cloud" after leaving the nozzle, flowing completely with the environmental flow field.

    • It possesses true neutral buoyancy characteristics (density equivalent to that of sterile room air), will not sink prematurely due to its own weight, nor will it produce a false sense of buoyancy due to excessively high temperatures, faithfully presenting the true streamlines and vortices under laminar flow at a low wind speed of 0.36–0.54 m/s.

  • Pure and pollution-free formula, zero burden of cleaning verification (Zero Residue / Safe for HEPA)

    • It uses patented VISUFLUID medical-grade vaporizer, which is pure in ingredients and never uses oily bases or highly toxic glycerin derivatives.

    • After testing, it completely vaporizes and evaporates, leaving no oil film, stains, or chemical deposits on stainless steel surfaces, glass windows, or inside equipment, eliminating the need for time-consuming secondary cleaning and wiping (No wipe-down).

    • Authoritative testing has shown that all HEPA/ULPA filters pose no risk of chemical corrosion, clogging, or adhesion.

  • Modular dual-model configuration (EVO.1 Compact / EVO.2 Wide-angle Incremental)

    • Fog Pistol EVO.1 (part number FP-R01) : Standard configuration includes a 60 mm precision straight nozzle. The entire unit, including the battery, weighs only 974 g. It is suitable for laminar flow calibration in small spaces such as around syringe filling needles, inside glove boxes, and ultra-compact isolators.

    • Fog Pistol EVO.2 (part number FP-R02) : Standard configuration includes a 160 mm airflow nozzle, significantly increasing smoke output by 30%, with a total weight of only 1,040 g. It is suitable for airflow mapping in biosafety cabinet air curtains, large workbenches, and aseptic transfer windows.

  • Rapid injection vial and ultra-long battery life

    • The reservoir uses a 60 mL medical-grade Luer-Lock quick-release syringe structure, which only takes a few seconds to replace the fuming liquid; it has extremely low liquid consumption per minute (about 1.0 mL/min), and a single full syringe can continuously generate fumes for up to 60 minutes.

    • An optional 1L bulk bottle is available, which can support up to 16 hours of cumulative smoke emission testing.

  • Highly mobile wireless operation and hygienic chemical-resistant body

    • The handle and gun body are machined from anodized aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, with no exposed screws or dead corners, and are completely resistant to IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wiping and disinfection.

    • Equipped with a quick-swap 15V / 3,200 mAh (48 Wh) high-energy lithium-ion battery handle, and comes standard with a 115/230V universal smart fast charger (fully charged in about 60 minutes), eliminating the risks of tangled wires and cross-regional pollution.

  • A comprehensive range of cleanroom flow field sampling and flow guiding accessories.

    • We offer autoclavable Fog Curtains/Rakes: 300 mm (3 holes), 600 mm (6 holes), 900 mm (9 holes) and T-type Fog Curtains (650 mm+), which can quickly create wide air curtains.

    • Optional features include ±30° joint ball joints, 300/600/900 mm rigid extension rods, clean-grade low-temperature resistant silicone hoses (1/2/4/6 m), glove box flange penetration connectors, micro-leakage detection needle tip components, and heavy-duty stainless steel air curtain lifting legs up to 3 meters long.

    • It comes standard with a high-strength professional anti-collision carrying case that is dustproof and waterproof, with pre-cut precision shock-absorbing foam inside, making it easy to store safely and move between various clean workshops.
