PLACEMENT OF STORED ITEMS
Do not place stored items so as to disrupt the air circulation in the chamber. Disruption of air circulation
can cause the freezing of stored items or can impair the temperature distribution in the chamber.
Air intake vent
Do not block the air intake vent with the stored items. Care should be taken not to put any paper or
plastic chips near the air intake vent. These may be sucked in and block the air intake vent.
Air exhaust vent
Do not block the air exhaust by the stored items near the air exhaust vent. Care should be taken not to
place stored items near to the air exhaust vent. The stored items may become frozen.
<Important>
Never block the air intake or exhaust vent. Moreover, never disrupt the air circulation. Always place
stored items so that they have adequate space around them.
Load line
[Fig. 1]
The storage area is limited to ensure adequate air flow in the chamber. The label “load line” is attached
to the right and left sides of the chamber. Always place stored items within the area limited by these
labels.
<Important>
Blood bags should always be stored in the drawers. Never store the blood bags directly on the bottom
of the chamber.
In addition, never stack the blood bags in the drawers.
