Network Configuration

Before ordering the HealthCube IAQ, please contact the ViGIE team to send the pre-configured device with your network details. The following options are available: Ethernet DHCP, Ethernet Static, Wi-Fi DHCP and Wi-Fi Static

(Network Configuration Form is attached in this article for your convenience)

Requirements

Drywall or a landing spot (shelf or tabletop)

NOTE: Do not use adhesives due to VOCs

If installed in drywall, a drilling machine, 2xdowels and 2xscrews are needed (accessories included)

Placement

Choose a location on the wall, shelf, or tabletop.

Ensure the device is at least 1 meter away from potential influences, such as HVAC ducts, doors, and windows.

Ideally, place it 1.1–1.7 m above the floor.

IVF Laboratories Critical Points – Where to monitor ?

• Where the embryos are handled or cultured: The embryology room, especially near the embryo incubators (such as GERI or EmbryoScope incubators), is a critical point.
• Where gametes are processed: The andrology area, where semen is prepared (sperm capacitation), and the oocyte handling area (as in preparation for ICSI) are sensitive places.
• Where the air enters the laboratory: The ventilation and filtration system (HVAC) is a strategic point. Measuring VOCs in the incoming air, before and after HEPA, activated carbon or permanganate filters, helps to assess the efficiency of the purification system.
• Invasive procedure areas: The follicular puncture and embryo transfer room, which is often integrated into the IVF laboratory, must be monitored, as the use of medical equipment or sterile materials can release VOCs.
• Near the liquid nitrogen tanks: The cryogenic storage tanks (dewars) are the heart of the cryobiology room. Although liquid nitrogen is inert, impurities in the gas or in the tanks (such as solvent residues or manufacturing materials) can release VOCs. Measure the air around the tanks, especially during handling (opening/closing) or refilling, when vapors can disperse.
