10– Using SIRIO with other brand incubators
The process and the incubation and hatching parameters do not significantly differ from other brand incubators, the
only thing that could change significantly is the structure of the machine that depends on the manufacturers design.
To apply SIRIO to an incubator machine different from the Borotto ones:
-
remove the 2 rubber valves from the tubes (those normally inserted in the nozzles);
-
pass the 2 tubes by the ventilation holes. If there were any missing, add as needed. The PVC pipes must
reach the tray or the water trays present inside the incubator, leave the two tubes resting in the tray or trays
depending on the incubator model.
-
Position the humidity sensor into the incubator and fasten it with a zip tie like those used by electricians. If
it was not possible to insert the humidity sensor through any air intake, pass it through the egg loading
door. The anti
-
crushing cable will however ensure its functionality.

SIRIO maintenance and cleaning
The maintenance and cleaning activities must be carried out with the equipment off and feeder disconnected.
The operation described below is extremely recommended, since if SIRIO is left stopped for more than one month,
water may stagnate in the pipes, giving origin to bacterial flora that when pumped into the incubator may generate
bacterial contamination of the embryo, causing it to die!
Therefore, at the end of each incubation cycle:
•
blow (best if using compressed air) the sensor, absolutely avoiding opening the sensor
-
door;
•
Carry out the following routine cleaning and disinfection of the water circuit:
-
bring the humidity value set on the display to the maximum;
-
insert the water intake tube into a solution of water and 10% bleach or amukine;
-
let the pump run for approximately 15 minutes, recovering and disposing of the pumped aqueous solution;
-
leave the pump running dry for another 15 minutes.
We recommend using bleach since it destroys the bacterial flora and any residue does not damage the embryos
under development.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES FOR CLEANING AND SANITISING SIRIO FOR ANY REASON!
With variable frequency, depending on hardness of the water used and after a few hatching cycles, besides the
described washing of the water circuit using disinfectant solution, it is possible to carry out a descaling cycle, using
the same procedure, a solution of water and descaling agent or vinegar.
During a stop period, at least once a month, turn on SIRIO and run it dry for few minutes, this will make it possible
to eliminate the memory effect from the pumps where they are crushed.

Disposal
In implementation of Directives 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EU, LEGISLATIVE DECREE 4 March 2014, no. 27 and
LEGISLATIVE DECREE 14 March 2014 , no. 49, relative to the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment and the disposal of waste, the symbol of the crossed wheelie bin, shown here, indicates that at the end
of its service life the product must be collected separately from other waste.
The user shall therefore deliver the appliance at the end of its service life to the suitable electric and electronic
separate waste collection facilities. Appropriate separate collection for subsequent recycling of the decommissioned
appliance, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on
the environment and health and promotes the recycling of the materials the appliance consists of.
Unlawful disposal by the user involves the application of the administrative sanctions provided for by the laws in
force. The information related to the correct procedure of available collection systems must be obtained from the
Local Waste Disposal Service.
