INTRODUCTION

This manual provides important safety information for the PRP Platelet Incubator. It should be kept near the equipment for quick and easy reference. The Incubator has a range from ambient +5C to 120C making it useful for a wide range of applications. Probe is provided for monitoring the accurate temperature of samples.

INTENDED USE

The Platelet Incubator is intended for the application of gel creation from plasma. It heats up the platelet-rich plasma, which when cooled, thickens into a gel substance that can be used as an injectable filler.
NOTE: Before using the instrument, please read this user manual carefully. This user manual is intended to assist with the operation and care of the unit only and not its repair. For repair, please contact us at enquiries@hawksley.co.uk

BIOFILLER PRP INSTRUCTIONS

The Hawksley PRP Platelet Incubator is intended for the heating of platelet rich plasma. The incubator is to be used in conjunction with the cooling element, which hardens plasma into a useable filler or gel;

1. First, put together the heating components. You will need to use all four plastic guards for the correct height of a 1ml syringe from the T-Lab PRP kit. This is also for safety purposes as to not touch the heating block
2. Preheat the block to 90 degrees. Precool the cooler by turning it on and placing the metal cup inside.
3. Add syringes to incubator and heat for 8 minutes at 90 degrees. Use lid for quicker heating.
4. Transfer syringes into cooler for 10 minutes
5. The work environment will affect cooling, so check by touching that the syringe is body temperature or below before injecting into the patient.

CLEANING & MAINTENENCE

• As the incubator has no mechanical moving part, it requires very little maintenance and cleaning.
• Cleaning should be done with mild detergent and water.
• Unplug the unit from its power source before a cleanup process. In the case of any spillage, allow the device to cool before further cleanup or removal of blocks.
• The holes of the blocks should be regularly cleaned with a damp cloth to ensure the tubes/syringes are well connected to the wall, allowing good heat conduction.
• Use a slightly damp cloth for the cleaning process.
• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
• Cover the samples with the device lid over the block, as this cover provides thermal insulation and reduces water condensation
