Description of the Invention (9) The air volume of the device 3 3 can be controlled and quantified. In normal operation, the pressure in the test individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) 1 3 and the observation cage 2 4 is controlled to be greater than the ambient air pressure. This ensures that no ambient air enters the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) 1 3 and the observation cage 2 4. However, when testing with highly infectious substances, the pressures in the test cages 13 and 24 are controlled by the control unit to be lower than the ambient air pressure. This ensures that the air in cages 1 3, 2 and 4 will not leave the individual vented micro-isolation cage (I VC) grid system endangering scientists in the room or the environment. Periodically or when the behavior of the observation animals is different, the observation animals in the observation cage 24 are taken out from the observation cage 24 and surveyed. The check is made to see if the animal produces antibodies or changes in its body tissue. These results are additionally compared with infectious particles sampled by the particle accumulation filter 33 of the infectious substance monitoring unit 18. The fourth figure shows a schematic front view of a single-sided individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) grid system 1 according to the present invention. In this embodiment, an infectious agent monitoring unit 18 a for monitoring infectious agents in the cage 13 a is provided in the first column of one of the grid systems 1. For each row of the grid system 1, a row of infectious substance monitoring units 18a is connected to it through a row of sampling points 15a and a sampling gas supply pipe 16a. In addition, the grid infectious substance monitoring unit 18 b is connected to a grid sampling point 15 b to receive exhaust gas samples from all cages in the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I V C) grid system 1. Each column of the grid system 1 includes a plurality of individual ventilation micro-isolation cages (I VC) 13, which are individually sterile from the horizontal air supply manifolds 12 a, 12 b, 12 c.

Description of the Invention (11) To detect individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (IVC) grid system 1 for individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) 1 3 Infectious particles inside, the ambient air was first filtered to produce sterile air and then supplied to individual ventilated micro-isolation cages (I VC) 1 3 in which the test animals were housed. Infected test animals spread infectious airborne pathogens from their exhaust gases. At least one observation cage with observation animals 2 4 is supplied with the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) 1 3 exhaust gas. The infectious particles in the exhaust gas are detected by observation animals as biological indicators. The sampling tube leading to the exhaust well conveys part of all the exhaust gas generated by all the test animals in the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) 1 3 to the infectious agent monitoring unit 18. Air samples containing latent airborne pathogens from experimental animals were drawn into the observation cage 24 by the ventilation device 20. The animal's exhaust gas was sucked by the ventilation device 30 and fed back to the exhaust well of the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) grid. Samples are taken from a predetermined group of individual ventilated micro-isolated cage (I V C) grid system 1 test animal cages, and exhaust gas from experimental test animal cages 13 must be sampled by row sampling, side sampling, or grid sampling. Row sampling is performed before the end of each horizontal exhaust manifold to the point where the exhaust gas enters the vertical chamber of the grid system. Side sampling is performed at the end of each vertical air cell in a double-sided grid. Grid sampling is performed from the exhaust chamber combined before the exhaust gas is drawn into the outlet particle filter unit 37 or the building exhaust system. The air pressure and air flow rate in the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) grid system 1 are controlled by a control unit that controls an air regulating valve. One low-speed continuous airflow in the individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) grid system guarantees each independent individual ventilation micro-isolation cage (I VC) 1 3 continuous ventilation per hour 0
