21.1 Considerations about a sterile device
The Mini MIRI
®
Dry and Mini MIRI
®
Humidity multiroom IVF incubators are not sterile
devices. They are not delivered sterile state and it is not possible to keep them sterile
when in use.
However, their design was created with great care to make it easy for the user to keep
the device sufficiently clean during use and not contaminate the key components.
The design features intended to provide cleanliness include:
•
A circulated air system
•
A HEPA filter continually cleans the incoming gas
•
A HEPA/VOC filter, which continually cleans the air inside the system (do not ap-
ply for the Mini MIRI
®
Humidity multiroom IVF incubator)
•
A removable heat optimization plate can be removed and cleaned (cannot be au-
toclaved!). As this serves as the main holding area for samples, this should be the
highest priority to keep clean
•
Compartments with sealed edges that can be cleaned
•
Use of aluminum and PET parts that withstand cleaning well
21.2 Manufacturer recommended cleaning procedure
Always validate the cleaning procedures locally; for more guidance, consult ei-
ther your manufacturer or the distributor.
The routine cleaning procedure is recommended for regular processing and mainte-
nance. The combination of standard cleaning procedures and disinfection procedures is
recommended for event-related concerns such as media spills, visual accumulation of soil
and/or other evidence of contamination. It is also recommended to clean and disinfect
the Mini MIRI

Humidity multiroom IVF incubators immediately af-
ter any media spills.
Periodic cleaning of the device (with no embryos inside)
Wearing gloves and good handling techniques are essential to successful cleaning.
