1.1. General Information

Read the user instructions completely. The manual explains how to handle the Incubator

DWP, Incubator MP, Incubator Shaker DWP and Incubator Shaker MP (Incubator

devices). For the operation of the Incubator devices a third party workstation software is

strongly recommended. → Communication with Incubator devices®, chapter 5

The manual explains how to handle the INHECO stackable devices.

In case the instructions contained in this manual are not followed, injury or product

damage cannot be excluded.

Missing or insufficient knowledge of the manual leads to loss of liability against

INHECOGmbH.

This manual is part of the Incubator devices and must be retained until the unit is

disposed of and must be passed on with the Incubator device when the unit is taken

over by a new user.

The Incubator devices meet the acknowledged rules of technology and comply with

today‘s standards.

Manual instructions must be followed in order to limit the safety risk during operation of

the unit.

Security-related warnings in this manual are classified into three hazard levels:

- The signal word WARNING indicates hazards which – without precautionary

measures – can result in serious injury or even death.

- The signal word CAUTION is given to indicate hazards which – without precautionary

measures – can result in minor to moderate injuries or could disturb the proper

functioning of the unit.

- The signal word NOTE stands for the general precautionary measures that have to

be taken to avoid damaging the device.

- The signal word NOTICE stands for the general measures that help using the device.

Contact INHECO in case there are any uncertainties of how to operate or how to handle

the Incubator devices.

1.4. Warranty

The warranty period starts on the date of shipment. Any damage caused by operating

the Incubator device outside the specifications and guidelines leads to the loss of

warranty. Broken seals on INHECO devices lead to the loss of warranty as well.

INHECO will only accept parts / devices for return that do not pose a threat to the health

of our staff. In particular, the devices may not have been used in Biosafety Level 3 and 4

environments, or have been exposed to radioactive or radiation materials. → Cleaning

and Decontamination, page 37.

Devices exposed to Biosafety level 3 and 4 Environments are not accepted by INHECO

for return.

INHECO’s Incubators (Incubator MP, Incubator DWP, Incubator Shaker MP and

Incubator Shaker DWP) are automated and compact single incubating positions for the

use in fundamental research, drug discovery, clinical research and diagnostic

applications in automated liquid handling stations.

The incubators can be used as stand-alone devices or stacked to form a tower. The

flexible design of the incubator devices allow even stacking of different devices in one

tower. The unique vibration reduced shaking principle offers free programmable shaking

curves (orbital, linear, eight, elliptic, etc) and amplitudes. The precise automated drawer

system guarantees a direct and easy access by robotic grippers and pipetting heads.

The Incubator devices have a built-in precise temperature and shaker control (only

shaker devices), plate loading sensors, several test routines and an USB interface for

controlling the devices, enabling the use of the Incubator products in FDA, IVD compliant

environments and applications. Software and verification tools are available to form a

complete thermal solution for all kinds of incubation applications.

The Incubator devices are designed specifically for use in Life Science and In Vitro

Diagnostics. The Incubator devices are prepared for easy integration into IVD

applications, but the final IVD validation has to be performed by the first marketer (IVD

application).

When using the devices of the Incubator family in a Biosafety Laboratory Environment,

the user of the device is responsible for labeling the device according to the WHO

Laboratory Biosafety Manual (ISBN 92 4154650 6). The user is furthermore responsible

for operating the devices of the Incubator family depending on the biosafety level

regulations according to the WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual.

A technical skilled integrator has to install and integrate the Incubator. The Incubator

should be used exclusively by laboratory professionals trained in laboratory techniques

with labautomation systems and having studied the instructions for use of this

instrument.

2.2. Scope of Supply

Before initial operation, make sure that the shipment of your unit and its scope of supply

is complete and no parts are damaged.

In case of parcel or product damages, make photos of the damaged boxes and products

and email them to T[email protected] immediately. Transportation damages must

be reported to INHECO within 7 days of delivery. The following components should be

included in each shipment:

Fig.1: Components

The identification label with part number and serial number also contains important

technical indications. The electrical specification on the label must meet your local

situation. The label is placed on the back panel of the Incubator device. The identification

label must not be removed. If it has become illegible or falls off, it has to be replaced by a

new identification label. New labels can be ordered at INHECO. In case the label is

missing and you do not know the part number and serial number, they can also be read

out with the software ( IVDD Incubator software) which can be downloaded from the log

in section of www.inheco.com. → Manual INHECO Incubator Shaker control.
