Um. What? Your question is severely lacking in details.

The Oust sprayed in your container shouldn't do any major damage. If you insist on spraying the insides of your chambers with sanitizers, it may be a good idea to create a temporary barrier between the jars and the air that is exposed to sanitizers.
A simple way to do this would be to cut out a piece of tag board to fit over top of your jars. Spray a quick blast into the chamber, replace your lid, let it settle, open lid and quickly remove tag board. This should prevent Oust particles from dropping into your jars.

What's the point of the ousting?

I get that, but why would you spray it on sterilized & filtered jars? Totally unnecessary.

since you mention micropore tape and assuming that your doing pf tek cakes with a dry verm barrier. That combined with your micropore tape is all you need as a contamination barrier, in all my pf grows ive only just used just dry verm and had great success. Stored in open air in a warm cupboard.
ousting the air isnt going to do much for killing airbourne contaminants, might get some but not all.
I never really bothered with all that ousting abd bleaching etc etc i had much more success using a glovebox than trying to sterilise small spaces for inoculation.
Its not harmed your jars, and its not nessesary.
I also dont even oust, bleach, lysol, or alcohol clean my glove box. IMO alcohol cleaning in a glovebox is a big no no. You will be flaming your needle in close proximity to a glovebox which can make for nasty explosions. Ive seen first hand what alcohol vapours do in open air from a badly build alcohol lamp and alcohol being spilt on the table. 4foot diamater fireball.
Sterile procedures are a must, but some seem to take it too far.
Ive always been a fan of KISS

Remember how contaminants work...
They are a lot like snow particles: in still air they float downwards with little lateral motion, but in turbulent air they can go in any direction, even upward. They stick to damp surfaces too. The function of a still air box is to allow all the contaminants to fall downward, and then do the work in still, not sterile, air.
(Read this too: Pasteur's swan neck experiment)
For a contaminant to get through your dry verm barrier, it must either A) fall through the open lid hole, navigate its way through a barrier of dry verm, and then colonize (highly unlikely) B) hitch a ride on your needle and then be exposed to your substrate (much more likely)
flame sterilize your needle until it glows red, and then inject. The first drop will cool the needle, and the rest of the inoculate will still be viable.
