Supplementary equipment
The G95 is designed as a transport device, and not as a block warmer. It can be used in
conjunction with the following K-Systems products.
GH01
Standalone gas warmer, humidier and
ow regulator.”
Order code: 31059
G73
Dry Bath Incubator for heating samples in test
tubes.
Order code: 22065
Intended Use
The K-SYSTEMS CooperSurgical G95 Portable incubator is designed to provide a short-term
environment with controlled temperature at or near body temperature and gas levels (CO2,
O2) for gametes and embryos during transit for assisted reproductive technology (ART)
treatments.
The warming blocks should be pre-warmed to the desired temperature and allowed to
stabilize before placing inside the G95 transport incubator.
The temperature indication on the display is that of the maintaining temperature. If cool blocks
are placed within the incubator, sucient time is required for the temperature to stabilize.
When the unit is not in use it is recommended that it is left on charge.
General Description
The compartment and aluminium warming blocks maintain a preset temperature in the range of
ambient to 49.9°C. The temperature is electronically controlled and can be read on the display
in increaments of 0.1°C resolution. An alarm system provides both visual and audible alarm, if
the temperature should be out of range or in case of low battery (when the mains adapter is not
connected).
A built-in battery maintains the temperature for 4 to 5 hours depending on ambient temperature.
The battery will be charged when the incubator is connected to the mains adapter.
The incubator can be connected to a 12V car cigarette lighter socket during transport and whilst
incubating samples. This provides power to maintain the temperature but does not charge the
battery.
The atmosphere is controlled by ushing with a gas mixture. The gas valve is automatically
closed when the quick connector is disconnected. Interchangeable aluminium warming
blocks, holding a variety of culture dishes and test tubes, are available. The blocks are held in
position during transport by a removable plastic block.
Caution: additional heat can be generated whilst charging the battery. Do not place
samples in the incubator whilst connected to the mains adapter.

CooperSurgical, Inc.
Unit Performance
The unit is connected and allowed to stabilise to the set point.
Culture dishes and/or test tubes are placed in the interchangeable warming blocks which are
held in secure positions during transport.
The chamber is purged with the desired gas mixture (regulated for example by the GH01).
During purging, the door is closed, but only sealed after purging. (See page 24)
The gas supply is disconnected from the (quick release) valve at the back of the unit.
Connections
Should the transport time exceed the 4 to 5-hour battery time the unit can be connected to the
12V cigarette lighter socket found in most automobiles.
When not in use the unit should be connected to the mains power supply but should not be used
for incubating samples.
The unit can only be heated up from ambient using the mains adapter. The battery is designed
only to maintain the temperature once warmed up.
The car adaptor can only be used to extend the transport time. It will not charge the battery.
General Care
Do not obstruct or block the ventilation holes at the back of the unit. Excessive force or pressure
should not be put on the front door when it is fully opened. Ensure that the door hinges are
clean and free of any obstructions. When closing the door, ensure that there are no objects
preventing it from closing, as too much force will damage the closing catch, thereby degrading
its performance.

Temperature Alarm
The temperature alarm indicates too high or too low temperature. The alarm will be activated if
the temperature rises or falls more than 0.5°C from the set point. There will be an acoustic signal
and the red LED light in the alarm key will be activated.
Action Key
Press alarm key to mute the acoustic signal.
Press alarm key once again to bring the signal back on.
Note: The red LED light and the acoustic signal will turn o when the temperature stabilizes to
the set-point level
Warming Up
Warming up from 20.0 to 39.0°C takes less than 15 minutes under normal conditions.
When a cold item is placed in the chamber it may need up to 30 minutes to stabilize, depending
on the thermal mass of the object and the initial temperature. It is recommended to pre-warm
warming blocks before they are placed in the incubator.
Always let the unit stabilize before use.
Caution: Check the temperature at the base of the incubator chamber with a
calibrated thermometer before placing the samples inside.
Warming Blocks
It is necessary to use warming blocks. Please contact your local distributor or K-SYSTEMS for
details about the full range of warming blocks.
A selection of dierent tubes and dishes can be transported. Either tubes or dishes can be
transported at one time, not a combination of both.
Warning: Warming blocks should always be pre-heated before usage.

Caution: Any change in the factory set calibration should always be based on very
accurate temperature measurements. CooperSurgical only recommends the use
of a high quality PT-100 sensor that is calibrated with the precision instrument
used for measuring according to the manufacturers specications. Also ensure an
optimal contact between the sensor and the place measured. Use only a sensor
type that is correct for the purpose and of correct size. If in doubt contact your local
CooperSurgical distributor.
