Table 7-18 Launching Decontamination

Decontamination 12:15
Thermo Scientific
A progress bar and a residual time readout for the
1:34
PM
decontamination process appear in the multifunctional
display pane.
Opening the door while decontamination is running
Opening the front door during the heating and holding
phases causes the decontamination routine to stop and
wait for the door to be closed. At the same time, the
Door Open icon (middle item of the group
page
7-1) is lit in the display window. As soon as the
door is closed, decontamination starts over, cycling
through the entire process from the start. This may
extend the overall duration of the decontamination
effort substantially.
Power Outage during a Decontamination Run
A power outage relaunches the decontamination
routine automatically. The Alarm icon (leftmost item of
the group
window, and a E007 Power Down Error message
appears at the end of the process. Press the
button to acknowledge that alarm.
Put up bio-hazard warning signs!
Under specific circumstances, there is a risk that bacteria,
viruses, fungi, prions, and other biological substances
survive when the decontamination routine is aborted due to
a power outage. Normally, the incubator starts over with the
decontamination cycle without any need for user
intervention upon return of power. Users who fail to notice
the power outage, may open the door and/or load the
incubator with samples, thus exposing themselves or their
samples to bio-hazards without being aware of that risk.
The Decontamination icon in the menu bar is illuminated
to indicate that the decontamination process is running.
