PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Ask a qualified contractor to carry out disassembly and disposal of the unit. Leaving the unit in
a location that can be accessed by third parties may result in unexpected accidents (e.g. the unit may
be used for unintended purposes).
Do not leave the plastic bags used for packing in a place where they can be reached by small
children as this may result in unexpected accidents such as suffocation.
Use the reagent specified by our company for H2O2 decontamination. Using a different H2O2
solution may result in explosion or damage to the incubator.
When performing H2O2 decontamination, securely close the internal and external doors. Failure to
do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.
During H2O2 decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon cap that is provided. Failure to
do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.
Always use the removal power supply cord that is provided. Other power supply cord may cause
electric shock or fire.
When using CO2/N2 gas for control, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Using CO2/N2 gas
in a small room without adequate ventilation may cause gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation. In
addition, when opening the incubator doors, do not directly inhale the air in the chamber.
When connecting a gas cylinder to the incubator, confirm the gas type. Confirm that the
connections are secure and that no gas will leak. Be sure to use the specified pressure. Using
an incorrect gas or pressure may result in explosion or fire, or in gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation
due to gas leak.
Check the gas type and ensure that it is fit for the purpose. Make sure that all pipes are
connected correctly and are not liable to become disconnected. Ensure that the gas pressure
is set at the specified value. Improper connection of the gas pipe or use of incorrect gas
pressure may result in leakage of gas. Elevated level of gas can be hazardous to health and
may lead to asphyxiation and risk of death.
O2 gas increases the susceptibility of substances to burn. Take care of the handling of flame in a
room where the incubator is installed.
Install the incubator in a location with adequate ventilation. If adequate ventilation cannot be
provided, then install an alarm system using CO2 and O2 densitometers.
Do not look directly at UV light. UV light is harmful to the eyes.
Never start H2O2 decontamination when “Warning: UV Bulb Life” is displayed in the message display
field. The UV resolve is not sufficient.
Do not use the unlock key to unlock the outer door during H2O2 decontamination or during H2O2
gas resolve by UV. Doing so may cause harm to health from H2O2 gas leakage.
WARNING
9
The O2/CO2 incubator must be dismantled and disposed of by qualified personnel only. If the
O2/CO2 incubator is left where outsiders enter, it may result unexpected accident (for example, children
to become locked inside).
This unit must be plugged into a dedicated circuit protected by branch circuit breaker.
Use a dedicated power source as indicated on the rating label attached to the unit. A multiple-tap may
cause fire resulting from abnormal heating.
Never store corrosive substances such as acid or alkali in this unit if the container cannot be
sealed. These may cause corrosion of inner components or electric parts.
Check the setting when starting up of operation after power failure or turning off of power
switch. The stored items may be damaged due to the change of setting.
Be careful not to tip over the unit during movement to prevent damage or injury.
Prepare a safety check sheet (copy the last page) when you request any repair or maintenance for
the safety of service personnel.
Wear rubber gloves when handling the H2O2 reagent. Direct contact with the H2O2 reagent may
result in inflammation of the skin.
H2O2 decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and chamber attachments with standard
specifications, and not for any other objects.
Perform H2O2 decontamination with the chamber attachments arranged as specified by our
company. Arranging them in a different way may result in insufficient decontamination.
After H2O2 decontamination has been completed, wear rubber gloves and use a non-woven cloth to
wipe off the residual H2O2 fluid from the bottom of the chamber, any objects that were
decontaminated, and the bottoms of ducts.
Do not climb on top of the incubator or place any object on it. By doing so you may damage the
incubator or knock it over, which may result in injury.
Wear rubber gloves when performing maintenance on the chamber. Failure to wear gloves may
result in cuts or abrasions from sharp edges or corners.

Note: Remove the cable tie around the power supply cord to prevent corrosion of the cord coating.
2. Connecting a gas injection nozzle.
In the case of control of O2 density in the chamber, connect the gas injection nozzle to the gas injection
port by using the gas injection nozzle tube enclosed (inner diameter; 5 mm, outer diameter; 9 mm, length;
210 mm) (Fig. 1). This helps faster recovery of humidity after opening of the inner door.
