PC integrated in the
EmbryoScope time-
lapse incubator
Data about the warning information
signal will be saved in the database
of the EmbryoScope time-lapse
incubator.
In case the connection between the
incubator and the integrated PC
has been interrupted, the PC will
not receive any information about
the running conditions of the
incubator. The incubator is,
however, still in normal operation as
this is monitored by a separate unit.
If this situation occurs, the touch
keys that display the current
temperature, CO
2
concentration
and O
2
concentration inside the
incubator will all be coloured red.
In case the connection between
the incubator and the integrated
PC has been interrupted, the
touch keys that display the
current temperature, CO
2
concentration and O
2
concentration inside the
incubator will all be coloured
yellow.
When the alarm has been reset,
the colour of the touch keys
changes from yellow to grey.
