Safety Notes
Basic Operating Precautions
These operating instructions describe Fisherbrand incubators.
Fisherbrand incubators have been manufactured to the latest state of the art and have been
tested thoroughly for flawless functioning prior to shipping. However, the incubator may present
potential hazards, particularly if it is operated by inadequately trained personnel or if it is not used
in accordance with the intended purpose. Therefore, the following must be observed for the sake
of accident prevention:
Never step into the unit.
Fisherbrand incubators must be operated by adequately trained and authorized professional
personnel.
Fisherbrand incubators must not be operated unless these operating instructions have been
fully read and understood.
The present operating instructions, applicable safety data sheets, plant hygiene guidelines
and the corresponding technical rules issued by the operator shall be used to create written
procedures targeted at personnel working with the subject matter device, detailing:
the decontamination measures to be employed for the incubator and the accessories
used with it,
the safety precautions to be taken when processing specific agents,
the measures to be taken in case of accidents.
Repair work on the incubator must be carried out only by trained and authorized expert personnel.
The contents of these operating instructions are subject to change at any time without further
notice.
Keep these operating instructions close to the incubator so that safety instructions and
important information are always accessible.
Keep the door open-times during operation always as short as possible. The longer the door
is open, the higher can be a possible overshooting of the temperature. After a door opening
allow the incubator to the set-point temperature, before opening again.
