The chamber glass door and the optional independent inner glass doors
may be cleaned using the same disinfectant as used on the incubator
interior. It is imperative that they be rinsed with sterile distilled water to
remove the disinfectant residue. The doors should then be dried with a soft
cloth.
Some precautions in the cleaning and care of the incubator glass doors:
Moisture leaches alkaline materials (sodium, Na) from the surface of the
glass. Evaporation of the moisture concentrates the alkaline and may
produce a white staining or clouding of the glass surface. Cleaning
chemicals with a PH above 9 and heat (autoclaving) accelerate the
corrosion process. Therefore, it is very important to rinse and dry the glass
doors after cleaning. Autoclaving the glass doors should be avoided.
There is no simple method for repairing corroded glass. In most cases, the
glass must be replaced.
Clean the humidity pan with soap and water and a general-use laboratory
disinfectant. Rinse with sterile water and spray with 70% alcohol. The pan
may be autoclaved.
Replace the HEPA filter when the REPLACE HEPA reminder is
displayed. The REPLACE HEPA reminder can be set to alarm after a
specified time from 1 to 12 months. The reminder default is the factory
recommended setting of 6 months. For details, see Section 3.
To access the only replaceable fuse in the incubator:
1. Turn off the incubator's power switch and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the two screws from the top of the control panel. Grasp the
control panel on each side and pull straight outward.
4. Figure 5-3 shows the location of the fuse. See Table 5-1 following for
replacement fuse specifications.
5. Secure the control panel and return the unit to service. If the fuse
blows after restoring power to the incubator, contact the Technical
Services Department.
