G210 InviCell is designed to provide optimum conditions for gametes and embryos during long-term culture. For optimal use of the G210 InviCell, please read and follow the instructions in this User Manual. The incubator should be operated by trained personnel only. All sections of this manual should be read and understood fully before any operation of the incubator.
The gas is constantly recirculated from the culture chambers through a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) / VOC (volatile organic compound) filter. The G210 InviCell Plus with SignipHy™ pH Monitoring System can be fitted with an accessory that monitors pH by surrogate media samples using a fluorescent marker contained in a disposable sample cup.
Applicable Part Numbers K59500 G210 InviCell Standard Incubator K60000 G210 InviCell Plus with SignipHy pH Monitoring System SignipHy is an optional system that is not included as standard with G210 Invicell Plus and requires additional installation by CooperSurgical service personnel.
Section 2 Introduction Significant Performance Characteristics The incubator has been developed and optimised for gametes and embryos cultured with an overlay of either paraffin or mineral oil. Each chamber is designed to contain dishes from one patient only. Operation Principle The fertilised egg (zygote) is cultured for up to 6-7 days in a growth medium in the incubator with a controlled environment (temperature and CO ).
Section 2 Introduction Dish Inserts The chambers should only be fitted with special Dish Inserts (1), that allow safe placement of standard culture dishes (LifeGlobal, Falcon, Nunc, Vitrolife). Culture Chamber Each chamber is equipped with individual temperature sensors and heating control, to ensure a uniform heat distribution.
Use of other gases could result in serious injury, depending on the gas connected. WARNING: DO NOT disassemble or modify any part of the G210 Invicell, or substitute any component for any other. Doing so may result in damage to samples.
Section 3 Safety Warnings Cautions CAUTION: Ensure the device is protected against power disruption by using a system, such as a Uninterruptible Power Supply, to provide emergency power if the mains power fails. CAUTION: Read and understand the manual completely before use. Keep the manual close to the unit.

Section 12 Maintenance SECTION 12 - MAINTENANCE Periodic cleaning is recommended as part of routine maintenance. Disinfection is also recommended for media spills, visual accumulation of dust, and other evidence of contamination. Clean and disinfect the G210 and, when necessary, sterilise the Dish Inserts immediately after any media spills.
Validation Check Perform the following validation gas and temperature checks after all cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising or at least every two weeks to ensure the G210 InviCell is operating correctly. Gas Calibration It is very important that the G210 is not emptied of gas during the gas calibration procedure.
Section 12 Maintenance Ensure the gas analyser is prepared as per the gas analyser user manual. Gas flow to the Preparation Chamber should be switched off during gas calibration. (See page 29, Changing the Gas Control Settings). Gas Calibration Procedure 1.
Section 12 Maintenance Chamber Lid Plug A silicone plug is placed in the lid of each chamber. For collecting a gas sample, penetrate the lid plug with a needle attached to tubing and connect to the gas analyser input. Do not use needles larger than 0.5mm x 25mm.
CSI recommends the F100 Precision Thermometer together with the Solid Temperature Sensor for temperature calibration. If the calibration is not performed with the K-Systems Solid Temperature Sensor, CooperSurgical cannot guarantee correct calibration of the device.
