Mesa Labs Smart-Well Model 1710 Operation Manual - 9153 Rev E 5

INTRODUCTION

The Smart-Well®incubator Model 1710 is a valuable laboratory tool used for the rapid evaluation and

automatic documentation of Smart-Read EZTest® steam biological indicators (BIs). The incubator

monitors Smart-Read BIs during incubation and alerts the user when growth is detected (positive) or when

the incubation period has ended without any growth detected (negative).

The Smart-Read EZTest BI is a self-contained color-change biological indicator consisting of a small plastic

culture tube containing an inoculated paper strip and a glass ampoule of liquid growth medium. Upon

removal from the sterilizer, the Smart-Read BI is activated by flexing the culture tube in the Smart-Well

incubator’s crushing cavity to break the media ampoule inside, allowing the growth medium to mix with

the paper spore strip. If any spores have survived the sterilization process, the bacteria will grow during

incubation and cause the pH indicator dye in the growth medium to change from purple to yellow.

The Smart-Well incubator continuously monitors up to ten independent exposed Smart-Read biological

indicators and one unexposed positive control BI for any color change to yellow during the incubation

period. All test results are automatically printed to the attached printer the moment they become

available, and the user is alerted in the event of an undesirable result by an audible alarm. Because the

incubator relies solely on a color change in the biological indicator itself, all test results are verifiable by

the operator.

The Smart-Well incubator features a touch-sensitive, color liquid crystal display (LCD) for interacting with

the powerful, feature-rich user interface. With minimal training, the operator can easily monitor

incubation status and review test history, and the intuitive interface guides the user through data entry

screens each time a BI is inserted for incubation – helping to ensure that test report data is accurate and

complete.

The Smart-Well incubator is calibrated to 60°C ± 2°C for proper incubation of Smart-Read EZTest biological

indicators containing spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus. The incubator has an integrated

thermometer and the incubator temperature is displayed on the LCD screen in real-time for quick

reference. The incubator does not require field calibration, and operating temperature can be periodically

verified by simply inserting a thermometer probe into the thermometer cavity.

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

Warnings and Precautions

Use Only as Directed

•Handle with caution; incubator surface may become hot to the

touch.

•Indoor use only.

•Temperatures 18°C to 37°C.

•Altitude < 2000 M (unless noted otherwise).

•Pollution Degree 2.

•Installation Category II.

•Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C

decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 37°C.

•Main power supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ± 10% of

the nominal voltage.

•Do not place incubator in drafty areas, near open windows, air

conditioning, heating vents, or heat-generating equipment since

fluctuating temperatures may affect the incubator temperature.

•Do not spill or pour liquids into the incubator sample cavities.

•Do not touch, press or contact the incubator’s touchpanel

during powerup since doing this will cause a touchpanel sensing

error.

•Use caution plugging in the Printer and Incubator power supply

cables. Plugging the incubator power supply (Smaller power

supply) cable into the printer may cause damage to the printer.

•Incubator is designed for use with Smart-Read EZTest self-

contained biological indicators containing G.

stearothermophilus. Non-recognition or erroneous results may

occur if other types/brands of biological indicators are used.
