• The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator includes moving parts with safety stops. Do not
try to block safety sensors by inserting a finger or a hand into the EmbryoScope time-
lapse incubator while it is turned on. This is dangerous and may cause injury.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a mains supply
with a protective earth, which is connected to a residual-current device (RCD) or ground
fault (circuit) interrupter (GFI/GFCI).
• The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator should always be connected to a local
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure stable operating conditions in case of
power failure.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may affect the EmbryoScope time-
lapse incubator.
• Mishandling or misuse of the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator may result in serious
injury to the user.
• The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator is not suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• It is the user’s responsibility to validate the performance of the EmbryoScope time-lapse
incubator by performing regular quality control checks on the temperature, CO
2
and O
2
*
levels.
* Only if the clinic incubates with reduced O
2
concentration.
• During initial start-up and after an incubator shutdown, always validate the gas and
temperature levels using calibrated external validation devices as detailed in the
EmbryoScope user manual. Do NOT rely solely on values displayed on the incubator
control panel.
