D. Getting Started
Description
The Celerity Incubator is intended to incubate and read the Celerity Biological Indicators (BI). The Celerity BIs are
intended for use in monitoring and qualifi cation of steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes
and to be used exclusively with the Celerity Incubator. The Incubator is designed to detect the presence or absence
of a fl uorescent signal upon incubation of the Celerity BIs. Each of the eight wells has dedicated optics for excitation
and detection. Once initiated, each well will independently monitor and determine the result for an individual BI
within the validated readout time. The Incubator also features a Barcode Scanner that is located on the front end
of the Incubator. The barcode scanner is used to the scan the barcode on the BI label to ensure proper reading and
allows for quick and easy BI documentation.
WARNING: The Incubator is intended to be used solely with Celerity BIs. Do not substitute
any other products for the Celerity BIs.
Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receiving and unpacking the Incubator, carefully inspect it for any damage. Check to be certain that all items
listed below are included:
• Celerity Incubator
• Power Supply with multiple AC input clips (packaged in a separate box within the Incubator packaging)
• Operator Manual
Instrument Set-up
1. Place the Incubator on a fl at, level surface. Position the Incubator so that the LCD screen faces forward and
the navigation buttons are easily accessible.
2. Attach the appropriate AC Input Clip to the power supply.
3. Plug the power supply into the power connector on the back panel of the Celerity Incubator. Plug the power
supply into a power outlet.
4. If using a printer (optional), plug the larger (25 pin) end of the RS-232 cable into the back of the optional printer
and the smaller (9 pin) end of the RS-232 cable into the back panel of the Incubator. Secure both ends of the
RS-232 cable using the fi nger screws on each end of the cable. Follow the printer manual's instructions to plug
in the power supply and turn on the printer.
5. To connect to the facility network (optional), plug an RJ-45 LAN cable into the back of the Incubator and a
facility LAN port.
6. Set the Language, Date, Time and Network connection (optional) after start-up sequence.
Reference Section F for more information.
NOTE: USB port is not used for daily operation.
1. Once plugged in, Screen 1, shown above, will appear on the Incubator display.
2. The Incubator will automatically begin heating the wells for up to 30 minutes to the previously set temperatures
and a diagnostic test will run concurrently. Screen 2 will appear on the Incubator display. NOTE: Ensure no BIs
are in the wells during the Warm Up & Diagnostic Testing.
3. When the target temperature has been reached and the diagnostic test has concluded successfully, Screen 3
will display on the LCD. If the diagnostic test fails, cycle power to the Incubator by unplugging for 2 minutes
or longer. See Troubleshooting section for guidance.
4. The well temperatures can be checked at any time by pressing the Up and Down Navigation buttons.
