Safety information
adapter), power supply's AC plug, power supply
cords, and USB cable. Verify that all the included
elements are in good condition on daily basis. If
any of them is damaged, discontinue their use.
The use of cables, adapters, cords, and/or power
supplies different from the ones included may
cause fires, electrical shocks, or even physical
injuries.
•Do not plug any devices into the Incubator's USB
port other than a personal computer (PC). The PC
has to be compliant with IEC60950-1, IEC 62368-1
or comparable, with safety extra-low voltages on
its USB ports. Ask a qualified technician to verify
device 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
assistance.
To reduce the risk of using incompletely
sterilized loads:
•Please
read,
understand,
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.
