Safety information
compatibility. Attaching any other device to the USB
port may damage the incubator and may not be safe
for the user.
•Do not attempt to repair the incubator by yourself,
that could lead to major and irreversible damages to
the device. In case of device malfunction, contact
your local distributor for further assistance.
To reduce the risk of using incompletely sterilized
loads:
•Please read, understand, and follow the Instructions
for Use of each SCBI before its incubation.
•Do not remove the SCBI before the incubator
reports the final readout result. Check a result ticket
is printed.
•Check that culture medium completely wets the
spore carrier.
To avoid the risk of injury, related to glass
fragments produced when crushing the glass
ampoule inside the SCBI tube:
•Cool the SCBI during the indicated time before
crushing the ampoule.
•Do not handle the SCBI excessively since this might
cause the glass ampoule to burst.
•Wear safety gloves and glasses when removing the
SCBI from the sterilizer, pressing the SCBI's
cap, and crushing the SCBI's ampoule.
•Do not use your finger for crushing SCBI. Use the
Ampoule Crusher instead.
To avoid a potentially hazardous situation:
•Avoid contact with the hot metal block inside each
incubation position.
•Do not insert your fingers, or any other element,
inside the incubation positions.
•Place only compatible indicators inside the
incubation positions.
To avoid SCBIs from absorbing fluorescent
particles:
•Avoid direct contact between the SCBIs and
Chemical Indicators or Tapes before the SCBI
incubation.
