Outer Shell
The outer shell of BabyPod 20 is constructed of carbon bre, producing a strong yet lightweight and durable
material.
Shock Absorbent Foam
BabyPod 20’s internal shock absorbent foam is constructed of polyurethane foam with a PUNL® removable cover,
which remains breathable yet impervious to liquids and solutions. The foam interior surrounds the infant’s head,
feet and sides during transport and is designed to help protect the infant in event of impact, and reduce vibrations
that might reach the patient from movements of the transporting vehicle. The covers can be removed and washed,
allowing for increased infection control.
Vacuum Mattress
BabyPod 20’s vacuum mattress is manufactured from a soft foil and is lled with ame-retardant polystyrene
beads. Removal of the air from the vacuum mattress via the attached valve allows positioning of the baby within
the BabyPod 20.
TransWarmer Infant Transport Mattress (Accessory)
BabyPod 20 incorporates the Transwarmer Infant Transport Mattress which is designed to provide radiant heat
and shock absorption to the infant during transport. TransWarmer is manufactured using the patented WarmGel
technology, which provides even heating via non-migrating gel in a non-electric infant transport mattress. Infants
may be placed directly on the TransWarmer’s soft, non-woven surface.
Infant Positioning Straps
BabyPod Infant Positioning Straps are manufactured from bands of soft foam which are attached using a hook and
loop system. Each set is SINGLE PATIENT USE ONLY. BabyPods contains one set of 4 Infant Positioning Straps, 2
straps with pre-stitched hook tabs at each end and 2 straps with pre-stitched hook tab at one end only.
Stretcher Fixing Straps
The Stretcher Fixing Straps come in a set of two Side Straps, for xing the BabyPod 20 width-wise to any stretcher
or gurney, and one End Strap, for xing the device length-wise to a stretcher or gurney. BabyPod 20’s Stretcher
Fixing Straps are composed of a high-tensile polyester webbing with attached metal quick-connect and release
buckles.
Viewing Lid
The BabyPod 20’s viewing lid is made from Polycarbonate, with a metallic sliding mechanism that contains no
bearings, allowing it to easily be cleaned and maintain durability. The large viewing area allows good visibility of
the patient during transport. The ‘front end’ section slides backwards allowing unhindered access to the infant’s
head, chest or feet (depending on which way infant has been placed). At the ‘rear end’, there is an additional
sliding access port on the top of the Viewing Lid. When stationary, the entire viewing lid can be lifted backwards
over the end of the BabyPod 20, allowing total access to the entire patient compartment.
Co2 Evacuation System
If concerned about Co2 build-up in the patient compartment, this can be evacuated from the BabyPod 20 via the
Entrainment System. An air supply can be attached to the inlet on the‘front end‘of the BabyPod 20, which, using
only low pressure and jet ow and mixing principles, will draw the Co2 from the BabyPod 20 interior and evacuate
it via an outlet at the base of the BabyPod 20 ‘front end’ section.
