• When you have more than 5 GB free storage space, files older than 50 days are
automatically deleted from the Scope Data folder.
• When you have less than 5 GB free storage space, your hard drive is starting to fill up. In
this case, ALL files older than seven days will be deleted. The oldest files will be deleted
first until the amount of free storage space is back to more than 5 GB.
• ALL of the data are stored either on the PC running the EmbryoViewer software or on the
ES server from which they will not be deleted.
1.3 Intended use – EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator
The intended use of the EmbryoScope incubator is to provide an environment with controlled
