Instructions for use

Audible alarm

An audible alarm will sound every time a positive re-
sult is detected in the Bionova® IC10/20FR incubator.
The alarm allows the user to immediately detect a po-
sitive result without the need to visually control the
equipment. The alarm can be cancelled by pressing
the button .

Canceling a reading

When a BI is removed from it's position during incuba-
tion process, an audible alarm will sound to indicate,
the tube should be returned to the corresponding
position.
If the indicator isn't re-introduced into the reading
position after 10 seconds of being withdrawn, the rea-
ding will cancel and the cancelation will be informed
through the printing of a ticket.

Temperature monitoring

The Bionova® IC10/20FR incubator contains an inter-
nal temperature control. If the temperature falls out-
side of the specified range (37±2 or 60±2 ºC), the blue
temperature led light will start to twinkle.
Temperature can be externally monitored by using
a Bionova® TB- IC1020 thermometer or other similar.
The Auto-Reader IC10/20FR has a special hole for pla-
cing the thermometer which is located at the back of
the device.
