[Histonet] Processing Fumes

[MaryK Mendell]

I run a very small Derm lab and starting having a new problem processing and cleaning cycle.  Nothing has changed processing wise but it seems we have more fumes than before.  I have the fume hood running plus a  Aller Air 5000 Voc D portable air purifer, all filters have been changed.  There seems to be more fumes while the  processor is running and durining the clean cycle.  I'm at a loss here as what it could be.  The processor is a Tissue Tek VIP 2000 and I can't see any leaks any where and no error codes present.  I have called our HVAC guy to have him look at venting to see if an issue, but with the hood check showing no blockage not sure it that is the issue.  Any suggestions?
