Instruction manual for safe use and warranty of
Safety regulations & standards
Mimetas hereby declares under its sole responsibility
that the construction of this product conforms in
accordance with the following standards:
Safety standards:
• NEN-EN-IEC-61010-1
• Safety requirements for electrical
equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use.
EMC standards:
• NEN-EN-IEC-61000-3-2/3-3
• NEN-EN-IEC-61326-1
• RoHS compliant
Associated guidelines:
• EMC directive 2014/30/EC
• RoHS directive 2015/863
• RoHS2 directive 2011/65/EU
• Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
• CE approved
• FCC approved
operation of the product. Warranty can be covered
by, at Mimetas’ election, (1) refund of the original
purchaser’s purchase price for the product (2) repair
of the product, or (3) replacement of the product or
defective parts. Evidence of purchase by the original
purchaser is required. Mimetas makes no other
warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to its
products.
MIMETAS makes no warranty regarding the
merchantability of the products or their suitability or
tness for any particular purpose of use.
Mimetas shall not be liable for, indirect, special,
incidental or consequential damages of any nature.
Any recovery for any claim shall be limited to the
original purchase price for the product. If the
OrganoFlow® is used in a manner not specied, the
protection may be impaired.

This document contains the necessary instructions to install and safely operate the OrganoFlow®.
Please carefully read this manual prior to setting up and operating the device.
Getting started
Please follow the instructions below to install the OrganoFlow®.
1. After unboxing, place the OrganoFlow®on a levelled
surface.
2. Plug in the AC/DC power adapter and switch on the
OrganoFlow®by using the ON/OFF switch located at the
back of the instrument.
3. Press the conrm button to calibrate the OrganoFlow®.
4. Use the up and down buttons to choose between interval
or continuous mode. In interval mode, the OrganoFlow®
will move the platform to the selected rocking angle
and will remain at this position for the selected interval
duration. In continuous mode, the OrganoFlow®will move
the platform over the selected interval while never being
static.
5. Choose the rocking angle and the interval using the up
and down buttons.
6. Press the conrm button to start rocking.
7. Before installation of the OrganoFlow®in an incubator,
make sure to switch it o and sterilize it as described in
the service and maintence section.
The OrganoFlow®is designed to provide long lasting
operation with minimal maintenance. No technical user
maintenance is required and no serviceable parts are
inside the OrganoFlow®. We recommend positioning the
OrganoFlow®in a clean environment compatible with sterile
cell culture pratices (BSL1). The OrganoFlow®and its cable can
be safely cleaned on a regular basis with 70% ethanol. For a
deeper sterilization, a multipurpose disinfectant solution such
as Virkon™ S or bleach can be used. Use a soaked tissue to wet
the surfaces of the OrganoFlow®, including the plastic cord of
the power cable, and incubate for a maximum of 10 minutes.
To minimize degradation of the surfaces of the OrganoFlow®,
the aluminum body in particular, wipe o residues of Virkon ™
S and bleach with a sterile paper towel soaked in 70% ethanol
or distilled water. If necessary, the green rocking tray and
the metal rocking platform can be removed by unlatching
the small screw at the back of the platform and lifting the
tray. Always make sure the power is disconnected from the
OrganoFlow®before cleaning.
Intended use
The OrganoFlow®is intended for research applications only
and is specically developed for use in combination with
the OrganoPlate®platform only. Besides its use in general
lab conditions, the OrganoFlow®is designed to function in
CO2 incubators at temperatures between 5 and 40 °C (41
- 104°F). For indoor use only. When not in use, store the
OrganoFlow at room temperature in a dry and dark place
protected from direct sunlight.

Safety instructions
WARNING! Switch o the power and disconnect the power
supply before lifting or moving the OrganoFlow® for service
or maintenance to avoid electrical shock.
WARNING! DO NOT use the OrganoFlow® in hazardous
conditions or expose it to hazardous materials/chemicals for
which the device was not intended.
DO NOT lift the OrganoFlow®by the rocking tray to avoid
mechanical damage.
WARNING! By putting to much force or weight on the
OrganoFlow®, the motor will move through its dened
motor steps, resulting in an oset of the rocker angle. Please
recalibrate the OrganoFlow®by restarting the device (toggle
power switch OFF and ON). If an oset in calibration occurs
without the user’s notice, the OrganoFlow®would rock
asymmetrically (for example, a 1 degree oset would result in
8 degrees rocking to the left and 6 degrees to the right when
using an angle setpoint of 7 degrees). Nonetheless, this angle
oset does not inuence your experiment, because the uid
ow rate in the OrganoPlate® is driven by the dierence and
not the absolute inclination between the media reservoirs.
DO NOT insert ngers into any pinch points.
DO NOT immerse the OrganoFlow®in liquid for cleaning.
DO NOT place the power adapter inside a CO2incubator.
DO NOT replace the supplied adapter by any other adapter. If
necessary, please contact Mimetas for support.
DO NOT place multiple devices in close proximity to one
another (main bodies touching). This could allow the metal
trays to run into each other, potentially causing mechanical
damage to your OrganoFlow®.
DO NOT place the OrganoFlow®in front of the temperature
sensor of the incubator.
DO NOT spray any liquid directly into the cooling fan at the
back while cleaning.
DO NOT expose the OrganoFlow®to temperatures above 40
degrees C (104° F).
DO NOT remove the back label and open the OrganoFlow®
for mechanical or electrical modications. When your device
shows signs of mechanical or electrical modications or
damage not related to normal laboratory use, warranty is
void.
DO NOT put more than 4 OrganoFlow®devices in a single
incubator to prevent overheating of your cultures. Distribute
them evenly inside the incubator.
DO NOT place tissue culture plates behind the OrganoFlow®.
The air ow created by the inbuild fan could negatively aect
your culture.
DO NOT place the OrganoFlow®too close to the back wall of
the incubator to make sure the airow of the inbuild fans is
not impeded. Leave at least 3 cm (>1 inch) of space available.
