10.1 Chemical Decontamination of the Incubator Chamber
To chemically decontaminate NuAire Incubator inner chambers, users may use the traditional formaldehyde or Chlorine
Dioxide in gas form, or Vapor Phased Hydrogen Peroxide. All three of the chemicals are compatible to all parts within
NuAire Incubator chambers. The incubator should be turned off during these procedures
Note: As stated previously, the chamber and components can also be wiped down with a
70% solution of Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning and decontamination.
10.2 Power Loss Recovery Mode
When an incubator experiences a sudden loss of power there is an increased chance of condensation building up in the
circulation system tubing. This mode helps to dissipate that buildup before it causes the sensors to fail
- Conditions for entering mode: - Incubator must be without power for 45 minutes or longer. This includes first time
setup. Mode is automatically triggered after power is restored (after 45+ min outage). If less than 45 minutes have
passed incubator will enter normal Run mode.
- When in Power Loss Recovery Mode:
o Blocking solenoid will be turned “ON” which will bypass the CO2 and O2 sensors in the circulation system.
o Both systems will be put in standby mode meaning they will not control or alarm while in this mode.
o “Power Loss Recovery” shows in place of “RUN” in the main screen. Heaters and Air Pump run as normal.
- Once entered, this mode will run for 1 hour. A count down timer screen (seen below) can be found when pressing
the CO2 or O2 Diagnostics button in the Service Settings screen. It is also recorded in the event log.

10.3 Shutting down the Incubator
Prior to shutting down the Incubator open the inner and outer doors and remove the water pan. Leave doors open for at
least 5 minutes prior to shutting it off. This will purge the chamber, circulating system and the sensors of humidity that
could condense and cause faulty readings when the Incubator is turned back on. Be sure to empty the water pan prior to
putting it back into the chamber if the Incubator is going to be shut off for any length of time.
10.4 Automatic Filter Change Notification
The Capsule filter located in the Sensor bay (see BCD-18477 for location) should be
checked average every 2 years to see if it should be changed. The Filter material is
normally a white material. Discoloration of the filter material is an indicator that it
should be changed. Retro Fit Kit RF566 should be ordered for the replacement
filter. A timed notice triggers a Maintenance Notification button in the Main Screen
when this timer counts down to zero. Pressing the Maintenance Required button
produces a screen indicating that the timer for filter life has expired.
