11 HEPA/VOC filter (not available in the Mini MIRI Humidity) ® VOCs are hydrocarbon-based compounds that are found in fuel, solvents, adhesives, and other compounds. Examples of VOCs include isopropanol, benzene, hexane, formalde- hyde, vinyl chloride. VOCs can also occur in medical gases, such as CO and N .

Example - how to calibrate the temperature: The temperature has to be measured with a suitable and calibrated device. With a quality thermometer, it has been estimated that T1 is 37.4 °C. Locate “T1 CAL” in the sub-menu and press the rotatory button. The display should show: Rotate the rotatory button (↻) until the temperature measured by the thermometer is displayed on the panel.

Move to the next CO sub-menu item with (↻) rotation or one step up with (↺) rotation. flow rate is shown (it cannot be adjusted): It shows the amount of CO gas put into the system while regulating. The volume is shown in liters/hour.
Calibration values should only be changed based on measurements taken by a trained user or technician. 12.4.3 O sub-menu Press the rotatory button on the O menu to enter the O sub-menu. Calibrate O by pressing the rotatory button and rotating it (↻) or (↺) to adjust. Move to the next O 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 O gas concentration has to be measured with a suitable and calibrated device. The real concertation has been estimated to be 5.3% on one of the gas sample ports.
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.

Please read the “10 Gas connection” section in this manual above for more de- tailed gas connection requirements. Measure the gas concentration from the premixed gas bottle with a calibrated gas ana- lyzer. The result of the measurement is significant for the set-up of the device and the correct operation.
The CO setpoint must be 0.1% lower than the premixed gas measured value (i.e., 4.9% if 5.0% measured). The O setpoint must be 0.1 higher than the premixed gas measured value gas (i.e., 5.1% if 5.0% measured). For changing the CO and O setpoints, please read the 15.2 and 15.3 sections in this man- ual.
14 Alarms The display will show a red “A” and the affected parameter's status message on a single fault condition. An audio signal can be muted by pressing the alarm key once (toggled on/off for 5-minutes). There will be a red arrow that indicates if the alarm is triggered due to too high or too low values, and the audio on/off key will blink red: Figure 14.1 Alarm key which indicates the alarm condition The audio pattern is 3 short beeps followed by a 3-second pause.
It denotes that the sensor in compartment 2 has failed. As a safety precaution, the heating of the affected area will be switched off. 14.2 Gas level alarms 14.2.1 CO alarms The CO gas level alarm is activated if the concentration of the CO gas deviates more than ±1% from the setpoint.
gas % is too low: gas % 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 alarm. “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. The mute alarm key will still show the alarm condition by blinking red while the alarm is muted.

1. In the menu, locate the Service sub-menu “SERV” and rotate the rotatory button (↻). 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.
20 Cleaning instructions 20.1 Considerations about a sterile device Mini MIRI Dry and Mini MIRI Humidity incubators are not sterile devices. They are not ® ® delivered sterile state and it is not possible to keep them sterile while in use. However, their design was created with great care to make it easy for the user to keep the device sufficiently clean during use and not contaminate the key components.
If the device is not visually clean, repeat the process from step 1. 20.3 Manufacturer recommended disinfection procedure Disinfection of the device (with no embryos inside) The use of gloves and good handling techniques are essential for successful disinfection. Proceed with the following steps (this procedure has been demonstrated during the on- site training program as part of the installation protocol): 1.

If you have any questions, please consult Esco Medical or your local representative before you do open culture in the Mini MIRI Dry incubator. ® Open culture mode is designed not for embryo culturing but (if there is a need) for media equilibration.
Each sample port is directly connected to the corresponding compartment with the same number. The gas sample will be taken ONLY from the specific compartment. An external automatic gas sampler can be connected to the ports for continu- ous validation. Before any gas measurement, make sure that the lids had not been opened for at least 5 minutes.
