indicator for more information. The choice to perform
or not the extended incubation to conrm by color
change depends on the internal protocols of each labo-
ratory or hospital. The auto-reader allows selection of
incubation time programs for two zones in an indepen-
dent way. Zone 1 includes positions 1 to 6, and zone 2
comprises positions 7 to 12.
Terragene Bionova® IC10/20FR Auto-reader not only
allows the detection of results, but also provides a prin-
ted ticket to record them. In addition, the auto-reader
can be connected to computers by USB. This allows lin-
king the results with the Bionova® Traceability Software
for Automatic Reading and Traceability of Rapid and Su-
per Rapid Biological Indicators. To download the latest
version of the software, go to: http://www.terragene.

BT221 (blue top) with 1 h. (60 ºC) program.
BT222 (violet top) with 1 h. (60 ºC) program.
BT223 (light blue top) with 30 min. (60 ºC) program.
-Check that culture medium completely wets
the spore carrier.
-Do not remove the BI until the equipment re-
ports the nal readout result, check the impre-
sion of the ticket.
To avoid the risk of injury, because of glass
fragments generated after the glass ampou-
le inside the BI tube is crushed:
-Cool the BI during the indicated time before
crushing the ampoule.
-Do not handle the BI excessively since this mi-
ght cause the glass ampoule to burst.
-Wear safety glasses and gloves when remo-
ving the BI from the sterilizer.

Instructions for use
Start-up 5- Wait for temperature of the machine to be stable.
Once is stable, the indicator of the desired temperatu-
re will remain steady.
Do not put any biological indicator in the rea-
ding positions until the auto-reader does not
conrm temperature stability.
The auto-reader will keep the selected incubation pro-
gram during the reading process. The system does not
allow to modify the incubation program once the rea-
ding process has begun, unless the reading is nished.
6-Start readings once the blue temperature selec-
tion’s light remains stable, this indicates that incu-
bation temperature was reached. Once the selected
temperature has been reached and remains stable,
after turning on the equipment, a one-time automa-
tic check of the Biological Indicators incubation posi-
tions will be carried out. Indicating lights of each well
will turn on bringing the result, a green light
will show a satisfactory result while a red light
will indicate error.
When the equipment detects an error in any position,
a ticket indicating the day, time and position involved
will be printed. To guarantee the reliability of the re-
sults, these positions will be deactivated, thus preven-
ting their use. To evidence this, the red light of
that position will remain blinking indenitely, in order
to indicate that the position has been disabled.
For a correct automatic check, the protective
cover of the auto-reader should be in its place.
Read BIs instructions for use. Before placing
the vials in the auto-reader, press the top to
seal the tube. Crush the ampoule (using the
ampoule crusher within the box of BIs or the
one located within the incubation area of the
auto-reader) and make sure that the liquid has
completely wet the spore carrier placed at the
bottom of the biological indicator plastic tube.
Do not remove or change placement of BI once
the reading process has begun. If this occurs,
results may be invalidated.
Use a non-sterilized biological indicator as a
positive control every time a processed indica-
tor is incubated. For more information refer to
the Positive Control section of this user guide.
7-Place the rapid BI in a reading position and wait for
the result. Reading will start automatically. Immediate-
ly after placing the BI in a position, an alarm will sound
indicating that reading has successfully began and the
position LED will blink until the result is informed.
NOTE: If the auto-reader does not run automatically, it
might indicate that the auto-reader temperature is not
steady yet (check the temperature indicating light to
remain steady) or that the incubation position is disa-
bled due to an error in the initial autotest.
All equipment is manufactured with the fo-
llowing settings:
- Time zone: UTC +0:00
- Printing language: English
For changing time zone, refer to Time zone change
mode section.
For changing printing language, refer to Printing lan-
guage section.
1-Place the auto-reader on a rm surface, free from
vibrations, away from sunlight, currents of hot or cold
air, chemicals and corrosive or ammable substances.
Do not place the equipment in a way that disconnec-
tion of the plug from the power supply could be di-
cult. Leave a gap of at least 10 cm from the wall. Do
not move the auto-reader periodically or during its
use. Connect the auto-reader to a secure and stable
electrical power source.
Do not wet or heat the auto-reader. If liquid is
spilled on the auto-reader, disconnect it and
dry it immediately. Before turning on, verify
that all reading positions are empty.
2-Turn on the machine by connecting the end of the
AC power supply to the mains and then connect the
other end of the source (plug) on the rear of the IC10/
20FR unit. The printer’s paper indicator light will turn
on, if this light becomes intermittent, this means that
the thermal paper must be loaded, or that the printer
cover is not tightly closed. Otherwise, the light will
remain stationary.
The machine will start running the last time and tem-
perature set-up.
3-Synchronize IC10/20FR with local time using Biono-
va® software available at http://www.terragene.com.
ar/productos/infection-control/incubators/softwa-
re-downloads/ ?lang=en. For this, connect a PC to the
USB plug of the auto-reader and start the program.
The Bionova® IC10/20FR will be synchronized with the
time in the PC. Synchronization can be done as long
as there is not an ongoing reading.
4- The incubator will initiate with the last setup pro-
gram for temperature and time. To change the in-
cubation temperature, press the button for 3
seconds. Lights corresponding to 60 °C will start blin-
king, indicating that a temperature program must be
selected. For temperature selection, press the button
to select 60 ºC. After 4 seconds the temperature
modication will be accepted.
For 60 ºC, 30 min., 1 or 3 hrs. program can be selected.
It’s possible to select dierent programs for each half
or the same for both, depending on the indicator's -
nal reading characteristics. Check that the time setting
is appropriate for the BIs to be incubated in each zone.
To change the time program, press the button
of the correspondent zone as many times as needed
to choose the right setting.

Replacement of the paper roll
Instructions for use
The printer uses thermal paper rolls.
Thermal paper specications
Reprinting of results
The auto-reader allows reprinting of the last 12 results
by uorescence readout. To print the results, press the
button for 5 seconds.
8-If the incubator detects a positive result, the red light
and the audible alarm will turn on. This will indicate
that the sterilization process to which the BI was sub-
ject, has failed. 30 seconds after removing the IB from
the incubation position, the alarm and the red light will
turn o automatically and the position will be available
to start a new reading.
The negative BIs will be informed with a green light in
the corresponding position. This will indicate that the
sterilization process to which it was subject has been
successful. The green light will remain on for up to 30
seconds after the BI is withdrawn from the reading po-
sition.
The incubator will inform results within 30 min. (60
ºC),1 h. (60 ºC) or 3 hs. (60 ºC) according to the program
selected. These periods of incubation are the time-li-
mits used by the equipment to inform the uorescence
nal readout.
9-Every time a positive result is detected, it will be
informed through the printing of the corresponding
ticket and with an audible alarm. The alarm can be can-
celled by pressing the button .
10-To register the tickets, press paper’s traction button,
take the paper and press up for the paper to be cut
with the serrated edge of the printer.
NOTE: If the paper runs out, printer’s blue light will
start blinking (see Replacement of the paper roll in the
printer). The incubator will save the last 12 results, for
re-printing, follow the Reprinting of the last results ins-
tructions.

Positive control
Disposal
Interpretation of results
Instructions for use
The positive control should belong to the same
batch of the processed BI.
Use a non-sterilized biological indicator as a
positive control every time a processed indica-
tor is incubated.
Incubate the processed biological indicator
and the indicator used as positive control as
long as specied in the instructions.
Press the cap to seal the tube and crush the ampoule,
make sure the media completely wets the carrier. Wri-
te a C(for control) and the date on the label. The posi-
tive control can be placed in any well of the Terragene
Bionova® IC10/20FR Auto-reader.
It is a good practice to use a positive control, this
helps ensuring:
- Correct temperature is reached
-Viability of spores has not been altered due to im-
proper storage temperature, humidity, or proximity
to chemicals.
-Capability of the media to promote rapid growth.
-Proper functioning of Terragene Bionova® IC10/
20FR Auto-reader.
Dispose Bls after use, according to your healthcare
and safety regulations (see BIs instructions for use).
Rapid Readout
The indicator used as positive control should show
a positive result (red light ). The processed BI
results are not valid until the biological indicator used
as positive control shows a positive result . A
processed BI with a positive result, indicates a failure
in the sterilization process. A negative result, (green
light ) after 30 min. (60 ºC), 1 h. (60 ºC) or 3 hs.
(60ºC) according to the used program, indicates that
the sterilization process was eective.
Take action on any positive result inmediately. A posi-
tive result indicates a sterilization process failure may
have ocurred. Determine the cause of the positive
BI following current facility policies and procedures.
Always retest the sterilizer and do not use the sterili-
zer for processing loads until 3 consecutive BI results
are negative.
Visual Readout
The Rapid readout system allows the conrmation of
results by color change after 48 hours or 7 days incu-
bation analysis (if 7-day readout is made, an humidi-
ed environment will be required to avoid media dry
out). If the sterilization process was not successful, the
growth media contained in the indicator will turn to
yellow. If the sterilization process was successful, the
media will remain unchanged. Color change to yellow
of the growth media shows a failure in the steriliza-
tion process. If after the incubation time (see biolo-
gical indicators directions for use), no color change is
noticed in the processed indicators, then the result is
negative (the sterilization process was successful).
The color of the growth media in the BI used as
positive control must turn to yellow during the
process of incubation for the results to be valid.
Record the positive ones and discard them im-
mediately as shown in the biological indicators
instructions for use.
Audible alarm
Temperature monitoring
An audible alarm will sound every time a positive re-
sult is detected in the Bionova® IC10/20FR Auto-rea-
der. The alarm allows the user to immediately detect a
positive result without the need to visually control the
equipment. The alarm can be cancelled by pressing
the button .
The Terragene Bionova® IC10/20FR Auto-reader con-
tains an internal temperature control. If the tempera-
ture falls outside of the specied range (60±2 ºC), the
blue temperature led light will start to twinkle.
Temperature can be externally monitored by using a
Canceling a reading
When a BI is removed from it’s position during incuba-
tion process, an audible alarm will sound to indicate
the tube should be returned to the corresponding
position.
If the indicator isn’t re-introduced into the reading
position after 10 seconds of being withdrawn, the
reading will be cancelled and the cancellation will be
informed through the printing of a ticket.
