NuAire · Model AllerGard NU-620R
DIRTY CAGE COLLECTION After the lab rat cage change process, a collection bin can be placed on the foldable shelf to collect dirty cages. The open bag from the sterile rat cages can be placed in the collection bin. As each animal is placed in a clean cage, the dirty cage can be stacked in the collection bin. After a stack of Innocage® IVC Rat Cages has been used; the technician can close the dirty bag and remove it from the collection bin for disposal. DEEP WELL FOR INNOCAGE® ICV RAT CAGES The work surface of the Animal Transfer Station Innovive® Rat Edition features a deep well in the clean segment of the work zone. The deep well allows a technician to place a sterile stack of Innocage® IVC Rat Caging and open the bag under HEPA-filtered air to begin the cage-changing process. IN WORKZONE FEED HOLDERS A package of Innocage® rat sterile feeders can be opened and stored in a holder under HEPA-filtered air, maximizing sterility. In addition, the in work zone holders allow a lab animal technician to access a feeder quickly, improving the cage-changing procedure. NU-620R WORK SURFACE The work surface features a pattern of air slots along the perimeter and across the interior of the work surface to segment the clean and dirty cage areas. At the same time, a left-side deep well allows for an easy-to-reach and space-saving area to place the stack of Innocage® IVC Rat Cages.
Key tips
- ·Free-flow protection must be verified on every PM - a failed anti-free-flow clamp is a direct overdose risk.
- ·Test occlusion alarms in both directions - failing to alarm when it should is more dangerous than a false alarm.
- ·Battery run-time complaints are the most common real-world nuisance call - a full charge/discharge cycle test catches most of them.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Will not power on or unexpected shutdown
HighSymptoms: The infusion therapy is dead, reboots, or shuts down mid-use.
Root cause: Mains lead / fuse, an aged battery, or a power-supply board fault.
Battery will not hold charge
MediumSymptoms: Short run time on battery; low-battery alarm soon after a full charge.
Root cause: Aged rechargeable battery pack or a charger fault.
Display / control-panel fault
MediumSymptoms: Blank, dim or distorted display; unresponsive keys or touchscreen.
Root cause: Display, backlight, or control-board fault.
Fails self-test or calibration
MediumSymptoms: Power-on self-test or the scheduled performance check fails or is out of tolerance.
Root cause: Sensor drift or an internal board fault; recalibration or repair needed.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not power on
- Confirm the outlet, mains lead and fuse.
- Try on battery, then on mains only, to isolate the supply.
- Look for a power indicator or POST code.
- Replace the fuse / battery / power supply as isolated.
- Run the self-test after any repair.
Symptom: Fails self-test or calibration
- Note the exact failure message / code.
- Power-cycle and repeat the self-test.
- Verify against a reference / simulator where one applies.
- Recalibrate per the service manual.
- Refer the affected board for service if it will not hold calibration.
