OPERATION (CONTINUED)
S ETTING UP THE BACTRONEZ
Perform the following steps to set up the BACTRONEZ workstation for use:
1. Remove all protective wrappings from accessories and the workstation.
2. Disinfect the workstation to the standards of your laboratory, clinical, or production
environment protocol. The BACTRONEZ was disinfected at the factory prior to
shipment. However, Sheldon Manufacturing cannot guarantee that the BACTRONEZ
was not exposed to contaminants en route, or that the factory procedure matches the
standards of your institutional protocols. See the
Cleaning procedure in the User
Maintenance section on page 53 for more information about cleaning and disinfecting
the BACTRONEZ. Also, see step 3 of this procedure.
3. Clean, disinfect, and place the following items in the workspace chamber:
a. Arm port doors
b. The incubator bottom shelf spacers. Remove the protective shipping
wrappings prior to placing the spacers in the chamber.
c. Any petri dish racks. These can be placed on the top shelf of the
workspace chamber incubator during the setup.
d. At least five unopened Oxoid brand anaerobic indicator strips.
e. A glass flask or beaker placed under the plastic condensation tube on
the left side of the chamber.
f. One or two 500ml beakers of purified water.
g. Any equipment and other aerobic-tolerant items that you plan on
introducing into the workspace chamber. This saves time and AMG
usage by eliminating future pass box cycles.
4. Verify that the wall power supply and incubator electrical requirements match (See
the Installation Section, page 13).
5. Do not place a catalyst cartridge in the chamber at this time!
6. Partly open both doors of the workspace chamber incubator. Only open the doors
by approximately 1 cm (0.5 inches). Failure to open the doors during the setup will
leave reservoirs of aerobic atmosphere
after the workstation’s chamber space has
been purged of oxygen. Opening the doors all the way at the start of the
BACTRONEZ setup will cause an incubator heater to significantly overshoot its set
point when the doors are finally closed.
