PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION

If the unit is to be stored unused in an unsupervised area for a long period, ensure that children do

not have access and that doors cannot be closed completely.

Ask a qualified contractor to carry out disassembly and disposal of the unit. Leaving the unit in

a location that can be accessed by third parties may result in unexpected accidents (e.g. the unit may

be used for unintended purposes).

Do not leave the plastic bags used for packing in a place where they can be reached by small

children as this may result in unexpected accidents such as suffocation.

Use the reagent specified by our company for H2O2 decontamination. Using a different H2O2

solution may result in explosion or damage to the incubator.

When performing H2O2 decontamination, securely close the internal and external doors. Failure to

do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.

During H2O2 decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon cap that is provided. Failure to

do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.

Always use the removal power supply cord that is provided. Other power supply cord may cause

electric shock or fire.

When using CO2 gas for control, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Using CO2 gas in a

small room without adequate ventilation may cause gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation. In addition,

when opening the incubator doors, do not directly inhale the air in the chamber.

When connecting a gas cylinder to the incubator, confirm the gas type. Confirm that the

connections are secure and that no gas will leak. Be sure to use the specified pressure. Using

an incorrect gas or pressure may result in explosion or fire, or in gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation

due to gas leak.

Install the incubator in a location with adequate ventilation. If adequate ventilation cannot be

provided, then install an alarm system using CO2 and O2 densitometers.

Do not look directly at UV light. UV light is harmful to the eyes.

Never start H2O2 decontamination when “Warning: UV Bulb Life” is displayed in the message display

field. The UV resolve is not sufficient.

Do not use the unlock key to unlock the outer door during H2O2 decontamination or during H2O2

gas resolve by UV. Doing so may cause harm to health from H2O2 gas leakage.

The CO2 incubator must be dismantled and disposed of by qualified personnel only. If the CO2

incubator is left where outsiders enter, it may result unexpected accident (for example, children to

become locked inside).

WARNING

9

This unit must be plugged into a dedicated circuit protected by branch circuit breaker.

Use a dedicated power source as indicated on the rating label attached to the unit. A multiple-tap may

cause fire resulting from abnormal heating.

Never store corrosive substances such as acid or alkali in this unit if the container cannot be

sealed. These may cause corrosion of inner components or electric parts.

Check the setting when starting up of operation after power failure or turning off of power

switch. The stored items may be damaged due to the change of setting.

Be careful not to tip over the unit during movement to prevent damage or injury.

Prepare a safety check sheet (copy the last page) when you request any repair or maintenance for

the safety of service personnel.

Wear rubber gloves when handling the H2O2 reagent. Direct contact with the H2O2 reagent may

result in inflammation of the skin.

H2O2 decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and chamber attachments with standard

specifications, and not for any other objects.

Perform H2O2 decontamination with the chamber attachments arranged as specified by our

company. Arranging them in a different way may result in insufficient decontamination.

After H2O2 decontamination has been completed, wear rubber gloves and use a non-woven cloth to

wipe off the residual H2O2 fluid from the bottom of the chamber, any objects that were

decontaminated, and the bottoms of ducts.

Do not climb on top of the incubator or place any object on it. By doing so you may damage the

incubator or knock it over, which may result in injury.

Wear rubber gloves when performing maintenance on the chamber. Failure to wear gloves may

result in cuts or abrasions from sharp edges or corners.
