SERVICE AND REPAIR
Service and repair for the Smart-Well incubator is available from Mesa Labs.
This unit is pre-calibrated by the manufacturer and is not field-serviceable. All BI test results are to be
visually confirmed by the operator.
TEMPERATURE VERIFICATION
The incubator is pre-calibrated to operate at 60°C and does not require calibration in the field. The
incubator is designed to hold temperature within 2 degrees of 60°C, and the internal thermometer reading
appears in the upper right corner of the
Main Menu
.
To periodically verify proper incubation temperature per the requirements of your organization, fully
insert an NIST-traceable thermometer into the cavity marked
T
on the top of the incubator, and allow
adequate time for temperature stabilization.
If the inserted thermometer reads within 60°C +/- 2°C, the required incubation temperature for Smart-
Read EZTest biological indicators, then the incubator is performing properly.
