PASS: all temperatures measured on the bottom of the compartments where the
dishes are located must not deviate more than ± 0.1 °C from the setpoint.
35.9 Temperature check: Compartment lids
The second part of the temperature validation is performed using a thermometer with a
suitable sensor for measuring temperature on an aluminum surface, with a resolution of
0.1 °C as a minimum.
Tape the sensor to the center of the lid and carefully close the lid. Ensure that the tape
keeps the sensor in complete contact with the surface area of the aluminum.
Taping the inside of the lid is not an optimal procedure, as the tape will act as
an insulator from the heat generated by the bottom heater. However, it is a usable
compromise if the taped area's size is kept small and the tape used is strong, thin
and light.
Place the thermometer on each zone and verify the temperature.
Pass: all temperatures measured on the compartments' lid must not deviate more
than ± 0.2 °C from the setpoint.
If calibration is needed, please refer to the "13.4.1 Temperature sub-menu" section for
more information on how to perform the temperature calibration.
An iterative process may be needed if differences in the temperature levels are
found and compensated through the calibration procedures. Bottom and lid tem-
peratures will affect each other to some extent. There will be no crossover heat
noticeable between compartments.
35.10 6-hour stability test
Following the careful validation of the single parameter, a 6-hour (minimum duration)
check must be initiated.
The device must be set up as closely as to the condition under which it will be running in
clinical use.
If the preference of CO
2
setpoint is 6.0% or temperature is different from the default set-
ting, an adjustment needs to be done before the test.
