Cautions
Safety
CAUTION
• DO NOT use the incubator if ShockWatch or TipNTell has been triggered or if the package is
damaged
• Read and understand the manual completely before use. Keep the manual close to the unit
• Never use or handle this unit in ways other than specified in this manual. Your safety may be at
risk and the unit may get damaged
• Never try to move the unit without consulting Technical Support
• Never use the unit if the alarm system of the device has issued a failure message and the cause
of the failure has not been identified
• Protect the power cord from being damaged or being restricted in any way. Unplug the power
cord from the wall socket or at the rear of the instrument to disconnect the mains supply
• Make sure that CO
• Always keep the red caps on unused gas inlets and the sample port at the back of the unit
• Never use the unit without an original K-Systems H13 filter
• DO NOT expose the filter to liquids. Change filters that have been exposed to liquids
• DO NOT leave lids open for more than 10 seconds
• DO NOT use the unit at ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C. Ambient temperature above
30°C will compromise the incubation process. The relative humidity must not exceed 75% (noncondensing)
and N2 gas supply pressures are not above 1.0 bar and not below 0.5 bar

TIP
Installation
Section 3 - Installation
Installation of the G185 should be carried out by a CooperSurgical Service Technician or other
authorized personnel. Incorrect installation could result in overall poor performance.
The G185 is designed as a stationary unit and, therefore, not to be moved once it has been installed.
If the incubator needs to be relocated, please contact technical support.
Before Installation
This incubator is transported in a crate and we recommend you inspect its delivery. If the ShockWatch
or TipNTell has been triggered, inform customer service.
Check the contents to ensure all parts listed on the packing list are present.

Placement
The G185 should be placed on a level, secure surface, away from heaters, coolers,
air-conditioning outlets, mists, splash and direct sunlight. Allow 10cm of clearance on all sides to allow
adequate ventilation.
Allow the G185 to acclimatize for two hours before installation.
To maintain a device setpoint between 35-40°C the preferred ambient temperature should be
between 20-30°C. DO NOT use the incubator at ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C as this may
compromise the incubation process.
This unit is designed for use at altitudes under 2,000 meters.
• Installation of the unit should only be performed by an authorized CooperSurgical Service
Technician
• Never block any of the ventilation holes on the unit
• Make sure that all devices emitting electromagnetic radiation are kept at a reasonable distance
from the unit in order to avoid any potential interferences
• Make sure the power circuits used are intended for medical equipment
• Make sure there is sufficient access to the device for ease of disconnection if required

Intended Use
Section 4 - Intended Use
To provide an environment with controlled temperature at or near body temperature and gas level
(CO2, O2 and N2), for the development of human gametes and embryos during in vitro fertilization
(IVF) treatment.
Applicable indications for use are subject to the regulations of the country into which the device is
sold and also the availability of the G185 for clinical use is dependent on the regulatory approval

Significant Performance Characteristics
The incubator has been developed and optimized for gametes and embryos cultured with an overlay
of either paraffin or mineral oil. Each chamber is designed to contain dishes from one patient only.
Operation Principle
The fertilized egg (zygote) is cultured for up to 6-7 days in a growth medium in the incubator with
a controlled environment (temperature and CO2/O2). It is then implanted in the same or another
woman’s uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
User Profile
A trained health professional, who has the appropriate assisted reproduction technologies
qualifications. Only qualified personnel trained in using the G185 should operate the incubator.

CAUTION: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the
safety of the user may be at risk and the equipment may be damaged. Always use the
equipment as stated in this User Manual
Operating Environment
To be used at ambient temperature in a medical environment, clinic or hospital laboratory under
normal working conditions.

Intended Use
Product Description
The G185 is composed of 10 separate culture chambers (2) and one larger warming chamber (3).
The 10 culture chambers are exposed to both heat and gas mixtures while the Dry Bath Chamber is
exposed only to heat.
The gas is constantly cleaned for particles, volatile organic compounds and bacteria by circulation
through a HEPA and VOC filter and through a 254nm UV chamber.

Dish Inserts
The chambers should only be fitted with special Dish Inserts (1), that allow safe placement of standard
culture dishes (Falcon, Nunc, Vitrolife).
Ensure the culture dishes are placed securely in the correct milled grooves of the Dish Inserts.

G185 SensorTech
Section 6 - G185 SensorTech
G185 supports external and independent monitoring of the most critical parameters regarding CO2
concentration, temperature and pH measurement.
CAUTION: Installations of external sensors must be performed by CooperSurgical or
by persons authorized by CooperSurgical only
External pH Monitoring
This G185 SensorTech has been designed to work with Octax pH online. These parts are available
from MTG GmbH.
A fiber optic cable is built into chamber 1.
A special Dish Insert must be used in the chamber where the pH optical fiber sensor is installed. There
are three different Dish Inserts available depending on the dishes used:
• Dish Insert Nunc pH Online Sensor: Order code: 23060-1
• Dish Insert Falcon pH Online Sensor: Order code: 23061-1
• Dish Insert Vitrolife pH Online Sensor: Order code: 23079
Fiber Optic Cable in chamber 1
The fiber optic cable is attached to a cover plate
on the rear panel.
Special dish insert hole for Optical Fiber Sensor

When this cover plate is removed the fiber optic
cable will follow out. An O-ring in the rear panel
protects the cable from scratching against
metal.
A stopper is mounted on the cable inside to
prevent the cable from being pulled out too far,
thereby breaking the fiber.
