A combined HEPA and VOC filter (carbon filter) are integrated into the construction of the Mini MIRI Dry multiroom IVF incubator. Before entering the Mini MIRI Dry multi- ® ® room IVF incubator, the gas is sent through the filter in a single pass. Then, upon return from the compartment, the gas is filtered again.
Then, simultaneously press both angle fittings (using both hands) into the holes till they snap into place. The last 4 mm step should feel stiff. A filter element that has been fitted incorrectly will cause the unit to work not as intended.
13.1 Activating the heat and gas controls Heat and gas controls are activated using the "ON/OFF" switch in the rear. Soon after system activation, the main display will alternate the reading between the fol- lowing 4 parameters: Temperature = Temperature in °C = CO concentration in % concentration in %...
If the use mode is “Open Culture” (no oil or Paraffin overlay culture), the device shall be set for that and will display: 13.4 Main menu Press the rotatory button – enter the menu. The user can exit the menu by rotating the rotatory button (↺). Temperature is the first category when the user enters the menu.
Rotate the rotatory button (↻) to scroll further down in the menu. Press the rotatory button to enter the Service sub-menu. 13.4.1 Temperature sub-menu Press the (⇨) key on the temperature menu to enter the temperature sub-menu. Calibrate holding down the SP key and using (⇧) and (⇩) keys to adjust. Move to the next sub-menu item with (⇩) key or one step up with (⇧) key.
13.4.2 CO sub-menu Press the rotatory button on the CO menu to enter the CO sub-menu. The first item in the CO sub-menu is CO sensor calibration: Calibrate CO by pressing the rotatory button and rotating it (↻) or (↺) to adjust. Move to the next CO sub-menu item with (↻) rotation or one step up with (↺) rotation.
The value is in bar and it must be 0.4 – 0.6 bar (5.80 – 8.70 PSI) at all times. Example – how to calibrate CO gas concentration has to be measured with a suitable and calibrated device. The real concertation has been estimated to be 6.4% on one of the gas sample ports.

Toggle O regulation on/off by pressing the rotatory button and rotating it (↻) or (↺). The Default status for the O control is OFF. Move to the next O sub-menu item with (↻) rotation or one step up with (↺) rotation. flow rate is shown (it cannot be adjusted): It shows the amount of N gas put into the system while regulating.
Rotate rotator button (↻) to adjust the O calibration to the desired level by (↻) or (↺) rotation. In this case, we want to change to 5.3%. Rotate (↻) till the display shows 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. When O equals measured O press the rotatory button.
Press the rotatory button on the service menu to enter the service sub-menu. The display will show the currently installed firmware version: Ver 2.0 is only shown as an example. Consult Esco Medical or the local representative for the number of the latest version.
The Premixed gas concentration must be chosen specifically to match the re- quirement of the culture medium. As the Mini MIRI Dry and Mini MIRI Humidity ® ® multiroom IVF incubators cannot alter the concentration, the media's resulting pH will depend on the correct concentration choice. Be advised that premixed gas consumption will be significantly higher com- pared to pure gas.
Page 34
The Mini MIRI Dry and Mini MIRI Humidity multiroom IVF incubators must be set to ® ® premix gas work mode. Please follow these instructions: Press the rotatory button – enter the menu. The user can exit the menu by rotating the rotatory button (↺). Press the rotatory button on the service menu to enter the service sub-menu.
If the setpoints are not set up correctly, a continual gas flow may occur, which will lead to high gas consumption and incorrect recovery times. The Mini MIRI Dry and Mini MIRI Humidity multiroom IVF incubators con- ® ® tain a high-grade CO and O sensor.

It denotes that the sensor in compartment 2 has failed. As a safety precaution, the heating of the affected area will be switched off. 15.2 Gas level alarms 15.2.1 CO alarms The CO gas level alarm is activated if the concentration of the CO gas deviates more than ±...
% is too high: The display will lock on the alarm condition and will stop alternating between the stand- ard status messages. If the mute key is pressed, the display will shift to normal status and show the parameters for 5 minutes until the audio alarm comes back on again. The mute alarm key will still show the alarm condition by blinking red while the alarm is muted.
"P" stands for pressure. The display will lock on the alarm condition and will stop alternating between the stand- ard status messages. If the mute key is pressed, the display will shift to normal status and show the parameters for 5 minutes until the audio alarm comes back on again.

Adjust according to a high precision measurement done with a suitable sensor placed in a dish with media and a mineral oil overlay. Place the dish on one of the designated spots indicated on the heating insert. Procced to validate if the lid temperature is precisely 0.2 °C higher than the bottom temperature.
The N pressure is shown in bar. External pressure must be between 0.4 – 0.6 bar (5.80 – 8.70 PSI) at all times. It cannot be adjusted on the Mini MIRI Dry and Mini MIRI Humid- ® ® ity multiroom IVF incubator; it must be done on the external gas regulator. Remember there is a pressure alarm on the pressure limits if the pressure falls below 0.3 bar or rises above 0.7 bar (4.40 –...
Please read more about SAFE Sense software in the SAFE Sense User manual. 21 Cleaning instructions 21.1 Considerations about a sterile device The Mini MIRI Dry and Mini MIRI Humidity multiroom IVF incubators are not sterile ® ® devices. They are not delivered sterile state and it is not possible to keep them sterile when in use.
1. It is recommended to clean the unit with an aqueous 70% isopropyl alcohol. Mois- ten a sterile wipe and clean all the device's internal and external surfaces by rub- bing the surfaces' wipe. 2. After wiping, leave the device's lids open for some time to ensure that all alcohol fumes evaporate.
Use only the correct type of heat optimization plates for your dishes. Figure 22.1 Heat optimization plate Never incubate without the plates in place and never use non-Esco Medical heating optimization plates. It may cause dangerous and unpredictable tempera- ture conditions that may be harmful to the specimens.
Please consult Esco Medical or your local representative before using "Open culture" mode in the Mini MIRI Dry multiroom IVF incubator if you have any questions. ® "Open culture" mode is designed not for embryo culturing but (if there is a need) for media equilibration.
The compartment's temperature conditions can be continuously logged through the ex- ternal connectors on the unit's side without compromising its performance. Any logging system that uses standard PT-1000 sensors may be used. Esco Medical can supply an external logging system (MIRI – GA12) for the sensors. ®...
