CARTRIDGE TEMPERATURE OPERATING RANGE
The IRMA TruPoint temperature operating range is 12-30°C (54-86°F).
• Room temperature cartridges that are used in environments below the
cartridge storage temperature range (e.g., CVORs below 15°C/59°F) must
be used within 4 hours of transfer from the 15-30°C storage area to the
colder area. Cartridges that were not used within the 4 hour time limit
must be returned to the 15-30°C storage area, and go through an additional
equilibration period before they can be used. Refer to Appendix B, Table
B-7 for equilibration times.
• Refrigerated cartridges may be used until their out-of-refrigerator outdate.
