Intended Use
Intended Use
Heat therapy for premature babies and sick neonates;
with control of air temperature and humidity; and also
skin temperature as an option.
The incubator must only be used by properly trained
staff under the supervision of qualified medical staff
who have up-to-date knowledge of the risks and
benefits of the use of incubators.
Do not use the skin temperature control on babies
who are in shock or who have high temperatures.
The air in the incubator should only be enriched with
oxygen when prescribed by a doctor. It is absolutely
essential that such oxygen enrichment is controlled
on the basis of the arterially-measured oxygen partial
pressure in the patient's blood. If this is not done
there is a risk of hyperoxaemia (damage to the eyes)
and hypoxaemia (damage to the brain).
Do not nebulize any medicaments or similar
substances in the patient's room. If nebulized
substances fall onto the incubator this may impair its
functioning.
Mobile telephones must not be used within 10 metres
of the incubator.
Mobile telephones may interfere with the functioning of
electro-medical equipment.
Maximum load must not exceed 25 kg.
Only connect incubator to a mains power socket.
Do not use a mains distribution board.
If there is a circuit breaker in the supply to the distribution
board the permitted limit for leakage currents might be
exceeded. There could then be an electrical risk for
patient and staff.
