Introduction This manual only applies to the following models: BT37-02 This guide has been designed to help you install and use the BT37-02. The guide includes important information regarding safe use of the equipment and it is important that you familiarise yourself with this document before attempting to install or operate the equipment.
Introduction Symbols 1.3.1 Symbols used in this manual This symbol shows information or instructions that are related to safety. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal or third-party injury. This symbol is used to introduce important information or instructions related to use of the product.
Introduction Do not reuse. Do not use if packaging is broken. Do not resterilize. Batch code. Use by date. Do not dispose of with general waste. USA: Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order Rx only of a physician or a practitioner trained in its use.
Introduction Do not attempt to charge the battery externally. The BT37-02 contains a sealed lead acid battery. Over-charging can result in the release of dangerous gases. Refer to the Internal battery topic for details. Equipment must be earthed. Class 1.
If the lids are opened and then shut again, gas is provided at an increased flow rate to reduce the time taken to restore the chambers back to the required gas concentration. The BT37-02 can be in one of three modes: Standby, Run and Bottle change.
3. Gently lower the lid, and when it is fully closed, rotate the knob clockwise until it is felt to latch. The BT37-02 will not regard a lid as being shut until it is both closed and the knob rotated clockwise into its locked position.
Introduction 1.5.3 Side view 1. Rear of base monitoring port for independent temperature probes. 2. Lid monitoring port for independent temperature probes. 3. Front of base monitoring port for independent temperature probes.
8. Access ports for pH monitoring; for use by service personnel only. 1.5.5 User interface The BT37-02 is provided with a resistive touchscreen interface. When the system is idle, the standby screen is shown. Pressing the button, moves the BT37-02 out of standby and into its normal operating mode.

Introduction In normal operation, the display shows the current status of the incubator. Pressing the Display button cycles through different screens, each of which shows different information about the state of incubator. An example is shown below. 1. Left-hand chamber readings are shown on the left of the display 2.
Introduction Sub-menus also contain a BACK button which will take you back to the previous menu. 1.5.5.1 Numeric entry Some screens require a numeric entry to be entered. At these screens a keypad appropriate to the required entry will be displayed. The screen for an access code entry is shown below.
1.5.6 Status and alarm indicators The status indicators on the front of the BT37-02 show the current state of the system. These are used along with an internal buzzer and the external alarm. The state of the indicators, buzzer and external alarm in various states are shown below.

Installation Installation Caution Ensure the equipment is positioned so that the mains lead can be easily disconnected. Ensure cables do not cause a trip hazard. Take care when lifting. Uneven load: 17 kg. Important Keep away from hot or cold temperature sources such heaters or air-conditioning units.
If bubbles continue, switch off the gas supply, disconnect the hose and check the fitting for any debris before reconnecting. External data collection The Ethernet connection on the rear of the BT37-02 can be used to collect data via the local area network. Contact your distributor for details.
Ensure the equipment is positioned so that the power supply can be easily disconnected. Only use the power supply provided with the equipment. 1. Connect the cable to the mains inlet at the rear of the BT37-02; see the Rear view section.

Theory of operation User interface sections. 4. If this is the first time the BT37-02, has been used follow the steps below: a. Set the access code to restrict access. See Setting the Access code b. Check the configuration. See Changing the control settings c.
Operation Setting the access code Access to the BT37-02 settings requires an access code to be entered. This is a 5 digit number used to control access to the menus. This can be changed as follows: 1. From the main display, click Menu.
Operation Important After changing any parameters, use the main display to check the setpoints are correct. From the main screen you can keep pressing Display until the setpoints are displayed. 3.2.1 Gas flow The gas flow to the chamber can be in one of four states: off, bleed flow, purge flow, extended purge.
Do not refill the bottle. The humidifier comprises a bottle, tube set and filter. A new humidifier will need to be installed when the BT37-02 is first installed. The humidifier must be replaced every 30 days. 1. If there are samples in the BT37-02, transfer them to another unit.
Page 26
Operation Single tube system 1. The single tube system has a seal that does not cover the large opening towards the front of the chamber lid. 2. The single tube system also includes a small cylindrical seal that seals the tube entry towards the centre of the chamber base.
Operation 3.3.1 Single tube bottle humidifier 1. Inspect the bottle and tubing. Do not use if the tubing is kinked or damaged. 2. Fill the bottle with 125 mL of sterile, distilled water. 3. Remove the cap from the luer fitting on the inlet tube and replace with the filter. 4.
Page 28
Operation 5. Then push the front down with your thumbs using equal pressure on either side of the inlet tube. 6. Finally, press down on the top of the bottle cap to make sure it is inserted fully. 7. Open the humidifier and the left and right-hand chamber lids.
Page 29
Operation 8. Fit the bottle. Press in firmly and ensure the orientation is correct 9. Ensure the bottle arms are seated correctly in the base of the left and right-hand chambers. 10. Rotate the rear tube and filter anticlockwise.
Operation 11. Fit the filter to the gas inlet. 12. Make sure the filter is correctly fitted to the gas inlet and is not misaligned. 13. Check the tube. Ensure there are no kinks. 14. Ensure the centre groove seals are in place. These are not normally removed or replaced and should already be in position.

Operation 4. You can now switch off the mains display and disconnect the power cord from the mains inlet.
Bleaches are corrosive and may damage sensitive components and metal surfaces within the chamber. Switch off the BT37-02 and disconnect the mains supply before cleaning. See Switching off Always allow the unit to dry fully before reconnecting the mains supply.
Routine maintenance and troubleshooting 1. Clean the BT37-02 periodically with a damp cloth and sterile water or 70% isopropyl alcohol. 2. Clear the gas vent at the end of the incubation chamber using a clean miniature bottle brush wetted with sterile water or 70% isopropyl alcohol. Always push the brush from the inside of the chamber through to the exterior to avoid introducing contamination into the chambers.
1. Look through the liquid level indicator and ensure bubbles can be seen. Checking the battery 1. Ensure the BT37-02 has been running for at least 24 hours. 2. In normal run mode, disconnect power. 3. Acknowledge the power fail alarm.
6. Following the test, the available backup time will have been reduced and it may take up to 24 hours for full capacity to be restored. Calibration and servicing The BT37-02 should be calibrated and serviced annually. Contact your service provider. Caution Operating parameters should only be modified by qualified service personnel or under their guidance.
Safety testing Warning The BT37-02 is classified as electrical Class 1 equipment and must be earthed for safe operation. Repetition of potentially damaging high-voltage flash tests should be avoided. 1. The BT37-02 and the mains connecting cord should be regularly checked by suitably trained personnel using a Portable Appliance Tester or similar equipment, to ensure adequate earth bonding.
Routine maintenance and troubleshooting 3. All mains leads should be checked for signs of damage and replaced if necessary. 4. All gas joints should be checked for leaks by using soapy-water and looking any sign of any bubbles. Leaking joints should be corrected as described in the section, Connecting the gas supply Testing the alarms 1.
Should any problem persist, please contact your service provider for assistance. Should a serious incident occur involving the loss of patient samples or injury to the user, you must inform Planer Limited and if within the EU, the competent authority for your country.
