unrecoverable hardware error, but under certain circumstances, may be
caused by a noise transient. The system treats this error as non-Critical to
allow the operator to attempt to continue (although the Disinfection

(rather than a noise transient), the error will be re-issued when the
operator starts another Disinfection Cycle. State lasts until operator

before the lamp is turned on). The system attempts to actuate the Ozone
Lamp four times before entering this state. Normally, this is caused by a
worn or defective Ozone Lamp. The system treats this error as non-
Critical to allow the operator to attempt to continue (although the
Disinfection Cycle is aborted). If the state was entered as a result of
hardware failure, the error will be re-issued when the operator starts
another Disinfection Cycle. State lasts until operator presses any variable

ozone, so it can be safely aborted. System returns to normal operating

Machine State: See Table 6-3, State A.
Unable To Close The Critical Trigger Event: State is entered during a Disinfection Cycle either at the
Ozone Sensor. Contact termination of the ozone sensor check or the termination of a failed
Service Department. Purge attempt, when the system detects that the ozone sensor valve
switch is reporting OPEN. This usually indicates the sensor valve did not
close. The system will not allow operation to continue.
Machine State: See Table 6-3, State E.
NOTE: The ozone sensor is positioned to chamber air; this allows the
ozone that is in the chamber to leak into the Cryo3 cabinet. Due to the
timing of this error condition, there should not be a high concentration of
ozone in the Chamber (state was entered either after the five-minute
ozone sensor check or after the Purge cycle).
Unable To Open The Critical Trigger Event: State is entered during a Disinfection Cycle either at the
Ozone Sensor. Contact start of the ozone sensor check or the start of a no-ozone check after a
Service Department. Purge attempt, when the system detects that the ozone sensor valve
switch is reporting CLOSED. This usually indicates the sensor valve did
not open. The system will not allow operation to continue.
Machine State: See Table 6-3, State E.
Vacuum Pump Failure. Critical Trigger Event: State is entered during a Disinfection Cycle, while
Contact Service system is purging ozone, and it is determined that the Purge Pressure
Department. Sensor is reporting NO PRESSURE. Normally, this is caused by an
unrecoverable hardware error (either a failure of the Vacuum Pump or
the Purge Pressure Sensor). The system will not allow operation to
continue.
Machine State: See Table 6-3, State E.
NOTE: Chamber atmosphere could be fully saturated with ozone when
this condition occurs. Due to the nature of this condition, to prevent
potential ozone leakage through the window seal, a Purge cycle is not
attempted.
Ozone Sensor Failure. Critical Trigger Event: State is entered during a Disinfection Cycle at the
Contact Service termination of the ozone sensor check, when the system detects that the
Department. ozone sensor did not detect ozone. This usually indicates the sensor is
faulty. The system will not allow operation to continue.
Machine State: See Table 6-3, State E.
Although normal operation cannot continue, the system maintains the specified Chamber temperature
to preserve any tissue specimens stored in the Chamber.
