Preparing the Work Space
Upon delivery, Fisherbrand incubators are not in a sterile state. Before the initial start-up, the
incubator must be decontaminated.
The following work space components should be checked for cleanliness and disinfected prior to
use:
support rails,
shelf support,
perforated shelves,
work space surfaces,
work space seals and gaskets,
glass door
Installation of the Support Rails
Figure 5-2. Support Rail Installation
The embossings at [2] and [5] act as lateral guides for the support rails, while the embossings at
[1] and [6] secure the support rails in place. For the support rails to install correctly the retaining
spring [3] must be facing upwards.
1. Place the support rail [4] on the lower embossing [6] and tilt it upwards against the work
space side wall so that the rail is positioned over the two embossings at [5] and [2].
2. Clamp the retaining spring [3] behind the upper embossing [1].
3. To remove the support rails, pull the retaining spring tab down out of the embossing and remove
the support rail assembly.
NOTE
Disinfection
For details about the cleaning and disinfection of the incubator, please refer to “Cleaning
and Disinfection” on page 35.
