Incubator Door Assembly Removal and Replacement

Note—This procedure applies to the Transition, High Temp, and Amplification Incubators that do not have RTFs installed. If replacing a door on an Amplification Incubator, you can skip the removal of the foam on the bottom of the Incubator (otherwise you would have to remove the RTFs).

Parts and Materials Required

• Proper PPE
• Hex key, 3 mm
• Incubator Door Kit

Time Required

• 30 minutes

Removal Procedure

MTUs may be present in module. It is necessary to remove all MTUs to avoid contamination.

Replacement Procedure

1. Reverse the removal procedure.

   Note — When replacing the Incubator door assembly, be careful not to have the gray flex cable caught under the assembly. The assembly should be threaded through the slot in the bottom foam cover.

2. Reinstall the Incubator module.
