Page 98: Service Intervals
Maintenance Service Intervals Functional Check If safety devices were removed or disabled for inspections, the refrigerated incubator must not be operated before the safety devices have been reinstalled and checked for their correct function. Spare Parts and User Modifications To avoid major malfunctions of the refrigerated incubator and associated safety hazards that may result in death, serious injuries, or damage to the refrigerated incubator and other equipment, use spare parts approved by Thermo Scientific only. -
Page 99: Preparing Temperature Calibration
Maintenance Preparing Temperature Calibration Preparing Temperature Calibration To determine the exact measured value of the refrigerated incubator’s integral temperature sensor, a temperature comparison measurement must be performed every three months. If a major temperature deviation is found during this check, temperature calibration is required. During this process, the temperature controller of the refrigerated incubator is set to the value measured during the temperature comparison measurement. -

Page 103: Chapter 11 Disposal
Disposal Contamination hazard The refrigerated incubator may have been used for treating and processing infectious substances, which may have caused contamination of the refrigerated incubator and its components. Prior to disposal, it is therefore mandatory that all refrigerated incubator components be properly decontaminated. Clean the refrigerated incubator components thoroughly, then disinfect or decontaminate them (depending on application). - Page 104 Disposal Overview of Materials Used Component Material Peltier-Element Bismuttelluride, Silicium-Germanium, Alu- minum oxide ceramics, copper (contains nickel and solder), aluminium, Polyeth- ylene, Polyolefine, Polypropylene, C1008 steel, flame retardant thermoplastic Work space containers, installed Stainless steel 1.4301 components and shelves Door frame seal Silicone Glass screen Sodium silicate glass...
