Instructions for use
NOTE: If the incubator does not run automatically, it
might indicate that the incubator temperature is not
steady yet (check the temperature indicating light to
remain steady) or that the incubation position is disa-
bled due to an error in the initial autotest.
8-If the incubator detects a positive result, the red light
and the audible alarm will turn on. This will indicate
that the sterilization process to which the BI was sub-
ject, has failed. 30 seconds after removing the IB from
the incubation position, the alarm and the red light will
turn off automatically and the position will be available
to start a new reading.
The negative BIs will be informed with a green light in
the corresponding position. This will indicate that the
sterilization process to which it was subject has been
successful. The green light will remain on for up to 30
seconds after the BI is withdrawn from the reading po-
sition.
The incubator will inform results within 30 min. (60
ºC),1 h. (60 ºC), 2 hs. (60 °C), 3 hs. (60 ºC) or 4 hs. (37 ºC),
according to the program selected. These periods of
incubation are the time-limits used by the equipment
to inform the fluorescence final readout.
9-Every time a positive result is detected, it will be
informed through the printing of the corresponding
ticket and with an audible alarm. The alarm can be can-
celled by pressing the button
10-To register the tickets, press paper's traction button,
take the paper and press down for the paper to be cut
with the serrated edge of the printer.
NOTE: If the paper runs out, printer's blue light will
start blinking (see Replacement of the paper roll in the
printer). The incubator will save the last 12 results, for
re-printing, follow the Reprinting of the last results ins-
tructions.

Replacement of the paper roll in the printer
The printer uses thermal paper rolls.
Reprinting of results
The incubator allows reprinting of the last 12 results
by fluorescence readout and the last result of hygiene
monitoring reading. For printing the results, press the
button for 5 seconds.
Remaining incubation time
The BIONOVA IC10/20FR Auto-Reader also allows
verifying the remaining incubation time in every rea-
ding position. Whenever a reading process is in cour-
se, press and hold the
