CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
The Embrace™ Nest is an innovative, affordable and easy to use solution for warming of clinically
stable premature and low birth weight (LBW) newborns. Specifically, the Embrace™ Nest can be
used either as:
1. An in-clinic warming solution
2. In facilitating transport of LBW newborns between or within sites of care
Embrace™ Nest is intended to provide warmth to clinically stable newborns weighing between 1.5-
2.5 kilograms. Embrace™ Nest is designed for use by clinically trained caregivers as an infant warmer
in the clinic, or during transport.
The Embrace™ Nest is NOT intended to be used by untrained caregivers, or outside of clinical
settings, or sent home with the parents. The product is also not intended to be used on clinically
unstable newborns or on newborns outside of the above specified weight range.
The Embrace™ Nest consists of three components:
BabyWrap™
An interface in which the
newborn rests
WarmPak™
A removable pack of phase-
change material (PCM) and

Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 8
The WarmPak™ is placed in a compartment of the BabyWrap™ that is separate from, but in thermal
contact with the newborn. The WarmPak™ and BabyWrap™ work together to maintain a warm
microclimate around the newborn while also providing the newborn warmth through dorsal thermal
conduction.
Once heated, the WarmPak™ maintains a temperature of ~37⁰C for at least 4 hours1without the
need to be reheated. This is the same temperature range as recommended by the World Health
Organization (WHO) for a heated water mattress2
.

CHAPTER 2: USES AND APPLICATION
Embrace™ Nest is intended to provide warmth to clinically stable newborns weighing between 1.5 to
2.5 kilograms. Embrace™ Nest is designed for use by clinically trained caregivers as an infant warmer
in the clinic, or during transport.
This product is designed to be used in clinics under medical supervision and not, in any
circumstances, be lent to parents of low birth weight or healthy newborns for use at home.
The Embrace™ Nest can be used to provide warmth to newborns in the following scenarios:
2.1 IN-CLINIC USAGE
To provide warmth to clinically stable pre-term and low birth weight newborns3
•In rooms where the ambient temperature is low
in a clinical setting:
•After C-section deliveries
•On examination tables
•In maternity wards before discharge
•To enable mother-to-child bonding while providing warmth
2.2 TRANSPORT USAGE
When transferring newborns between different settings of care, or within the same setting of care:
Inter-hospital usage: For transport from the site of birth (maternity clinic, nursing home) to referral
hospitals / tertiary care hospitals.
Intra-hospital use
: Transfers between Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), x-ray , scan and MRI
facilities, or maternity wards.
NOTE
It is recommended that the Embrace™ Nest is to be used only when the ambient temperature is
between 10 to 34 ⁰C, as higher temperatures may not necessitate the use of additional warming.

The following section provides an overview of the Embrace™ Nest with a brief functional description
of each of the above components.
3.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
As stated earlier, the Embrace™ Nest consists of three components: AccuTemp™ Heater, WarmPak™
and BabyWrap™.
The AccuTemp™ Heater is used to heat the WarmPak™ to operating temperature (defined below).
This heated WarmPak™ serves as the source of warmth in the Embrace™ Nest.
The BabyWrap™ serves as an interface to ensure good thermal contact between the newborn and
the WarmPak™, and to offer additional insulation to the ventral surface of the newborn.
The heated WarmPak™ is inserted into the WarmPak™ compartment of the BabyWrap™. The
newborn is secured in the newborn compartment of the BabyWrap™. The device (heated
WarmPak™ + BabyWrap™) thus prepared may now be used to provide thermoregulatory support to
the newborn.
For in-clinic usage, it is recommended to use two WarmPaks™ in tandem, one after the other (one
being warmed in the AccuTemp™ Heater, while the other is being used on the newborn). This way
the newborn can be provided with a continuous supply of heat.
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 11
3.2 ACCUTEMP™ HEATER
The AccuTemp™ Heater warms the
WarmPak™ to the operating temperature4
.
This is the only component of the Embrace™
Nest that requires access to an AC power
source. It can however also be run off of a
generator or any alternate AC power source
that can provide a 230 V AC supply.
AccuTemp™ Heater design features
The AccuTemp™ Heater uses a sophisticated proportional control mechanism to ensure the
WarmPak™ is heated to the operating temperature (between 37 ⁰C and 40 ⁰C) and is not, under any
circumstances, overheated (greater than 41 ⁰C).
Under normal operating conditions5
•Automatically resumes heating in case of power outage
it takes approximately 35 minutes for the AccuTemp™ Heater to
heat the WarmPak™ to the operating temperature.
•Ever-ready technology ensures heated WarmPak™ always ready for use
•Simple one-button operation
•Built-in safety features
It is engineered to operate with minimal maintenance and is robust enough to withstand most
power surges and fluctuations.
In the case of a deviation from regular operation, the AccuTemp™ Heater will inform the user of an
error through its inbuilt alarms and indicators. For more information on safety features and alarms,
please refer to 4.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACCUTEMP™ HEATER and 4.4 ERROR INDICATORS
FOR THE ACCUTEMP™ HEATER.
NOTE
Heating times will vary with varying input voltage. In brown out conditions with lower voltage
supply, the heating cycle may take significantly longer than 35 minutes.
Heating times will also vary as the WarmPak™ ages, and the water level in the WarmPak™ is
reduced. Heating cycle may take significantly longer than 35 minutes.
4See Glossary for definition of operating temperature
5See Glossary for definition of normal operating conditions
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 12
WARNING
It is important to only use the Embrace AccuTemp™ Heater to warm the WarmPak™ in order to
avoid over-heating of the WarmPak™. Do not use any other method to heat up the WarmPak™.
AccuTemp™ Heater user interface
The Start/Stop button should be pushed to initiate the heating cycle, when the user wants to heat
up the WarmPak™. The same button can be used to interrupt the heating cycle.
The progress of the heating cycle is monitored using the two indicators on the lid that indicate when
the heating cycle is in progress and when the WarmPak™ is ready. The amber “HEATING CYCLE ON”
indicator will light up when the heating process is on.
The clear viewing window allows the user to perform a quick visual check on the progress of heating.
Once ready, the AccuTemp™ Heater will beep two times – once when ready, and once a minute after
being ready. The green “WARMPAK™ READY” indicator will remain illuminated.
The AccuTemp™ Heater will provide heat to maintain the WarmPak™ at the operating temperature,
as long as the AccuTemp™ Heater remains switched on and the green “Ready” indicator is still
illuminated.
In case of a power outage, the AccuTemp™ Heater automatically resumes its heating cycle when the
power returns.
NOTE
Pressing the Start/Stop button or opening the lid will turn off the AccuTemp™ Heater cycle and the
cycle must be re-initiated (by pressing the button again) in order to maintain the WarmPak™
temperature. Refer to the figure below.
Start/Stop Button - Push this button to start or
stop the heating cycle.
“POWER ON” Indicator - This
indicator glows blue to
indicate unit is receiving AC
mains supply.
“HEATING CYCLE ON”
Indicator - This indicator
glows amber to indicate
heating cycle is in
progress.
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 13
3.3 WARMPAK™
The WarmPak™ absorbs heat from the AccuTemp™
Heater, and slowly releases this heat over a period
of time to the newborn, when placed in the
BabyWrap™. Under normal operating conditions,
over a period of at least 4 hours, the WarmPak™
will provide a warm surface for the newborn to lie
on. Once heated there is no need of power supply
to provide warmth. The WarmPak™ thus provides a
passive source of heat to the newborn, without any
electricity near the newborn.
WarmPak™ design features
•The WarmPak™ is made of heat resistant polyurethane. It has two compartments: one
containing PCM and the other containing water.
•When the WarmPak™ is heated using the AccuTemp™ Heater the PCM melts and stores
energy. When the heated WarmPak™ is placed inside the BabyWrap™, it slowly releases the
stored heat energy to the newborn, through the water layer.
•The PCM has been specially engineered to release or absorb heat at the operating
temperature.
“WARMPAK™ READY” Indicator - This indicator
glows green when the WarmPak™ has reached
operating temperature and is ready to use.
Sliding Latch- Push this
sideways to open the lid of
the AccuTemp™ Heater.
Viewing Window -
Transparent window to
observe the progress of
WarmPak™ heating.
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 14
•The water layer eliminates the presence of hotspots, and thus provides a surface of uniform
heat to the newborn.
Several safety features have been engineered into the WarmPak™:
•The polyurethane cover has a high melting point in excess of 120 oC and is at no risk of
melting, as the temperature of the AccuTemp™ Heater surface does not rise beyond 85oC
during normal operation.
•The WarmPak™ does not have any electrical circuits providing an additional element of
safety from electrical hazards.
The WarmPak™ is a passive heat source, thus once heated and removed from the AccuTemp™
Heater, it cannot get any hotter, thus greatly mitigating the risk of overheating the newborn.
Some other unique design features of the WarmPak™ are:
•User-friendly indicator displays WarmPak™ readiness
•Certified non-toxic materials
•Convenient SIM-card design for ease of orientation
NOTE
The heat-providing capacity of the WarmPak™, mentioned here and elsewhere in the document,
depends on factors such as weight and health of the newborn and operating conditions.
The WarmPak™, when in the BabyWrap™, has been proven through bench tests to maintain the
operating temperature for at least four hours at an ambient temperature of 25 °C.
Lower ambient temperatures may cause faster heat loss from the WarmPak™, thereby reducing the
usable duration.
Embrace Innovations recommends that the user must bear in mind all these factors when using the
WarmPak™ and periodically check the temperature indicator of the WarmPak™ and closely monitor
the vital signs of the newborn placed in the BabyWrap™.
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 15
WarmPak™ user interface
The SIM-card” shaped
WarmPak™ makes it
easy to align it in the
right position inside the
AccuTemp™ Heater.
The WarmPak™
Temperature Indicator
indicates to the user if
the WarmPak™ can be
used or if it needs to
be reheated.
The SIM-card shape also serves
to help the user in correctly
orienting the WarmPak™ when
placing it into the BabyWrap™.
The WarmPak™ has two layers –
a water layer and the PCM layer.
Whenever placing the
WarmPak™ either into the
AccuTemp™ Heater, or into the
BabyWrap™, ensure that the
water layer is facing up.
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 16
3.4 WARMPAK™ TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The WarmPak™ contains a WarmPak™ temperature indicator at the bottom left hand corner. The
function of the WarmPak™ temperature indicator is to alert the user to the feasibility of use of the
WarmPak™.
WarmPak™ temperature indicator design features
The temperature indicator has been positioned such that it will be visible to the user ONLY when the
WarmPak™ is correctly inserted into the BabyWrap™, as seen below.
The WarmPak™ temperature indicator alerts the user to potentially hazardous situations, if the user
has over-heated the WarmPak™. The indicator also serves to indicate to the user when the
WarmPak™ is at the right temperature and may be used, and when it has run out of stored heat, and
needs to be reheated.
WarmPak™ temperature indicator user interface
The WarmPak™ temperature indicator will display one of three states:
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 17
“OK TO USE” STATE: When the WarmPak™ is within the correct operating temperature range,
the temperature indicator bar will be in the OK region as shown on the left. This indicates that
the WarmPak™ is ready to use, and can be placed into the BabyWrap™.
“TOO COLD” STATE: When the WarmPak™ has given up all the stored heat energy, and drops
below the operating temperature threshold, the temperature indicator bar will be in the TOO
COLD region as shown on the left. This indicates that the WarmPak™ has run out of energy,
and must be immediately removed from the BabyWrap™. The WarmPak™ will need to be
recharged in the AccuTemp™ Heater before it can be re-used.
“TOO HOT” STATE: There is a third state that will not be seen if the WarmPak™ is used
correctly as indicated with the AccuTemp™ Heater.
In the event that the heater malfunctions due to improper use, or an alternate heating method
is used to heat the WarmPak™, the WarmPak™ temperature may rise above 41 °C. The
WarmPak™ indicator will be as shown on the left.
This indicates to the user that the WarmPak™ is too hot to be used, and under no
circumstances should the WarmPak™ be used, if the overheating indicator is displayed.
WARNING
It is important to pay careful attention to the WarmPak™ temperature indicator. The WarmPak™
must be used only if the temperature indicator indicates that the WarmPak™ is ready for use.
When in use for warming newborns, it is important to observe the temperature indicator at regular
intervals (every 30 minutes) to ensure that the WarmPak™ is within the operating temperature.
Embrace™ Nest Operation Manual (0602-50001-002) Page 18
3.5 BABYWRAP™
The BabyWrap™ has compartments that hold
the newborn and the heated WarmPak™, and
ensure that the two are in good thermal contact
with each other. The BabyWrap™ also traps the
heat from the WarmPak™ and provides a warm,
insulating microclimate to the newborn.
The contour of the BabyWrap™ fits snugly
around the newborn and the tapered ends
prevent accidental slipping. The spacious,
insulated hood region minimizes risk of
suffocation, while at the same time controlling
heat loss through the head.
The BabyWrap™ has been engineered to minimize heat loss from the WarmPak™ to the
surroundings, thus ensuring that the WarmPak™ stays effective for a long time.
BabyWrap™ design features
•The BabyWrap™ is reusable and easy to sanitize with a disinfecting cotton swab.
•The WarmPak™ compartment is heavily insulated on the outside to minimize heat loss from
the WarmPak™. The flaps that cover the newborn also are sufficiently insulated so as to
minimize heat loss, and trap the heat, creating a warm microclimate for the newborn.
•The WarmPak™ compartment is also made of waterproof material. In the event the
WarmPak™ were to develop a leak, the newborn would be protected from being exposed to
the contents of the WarmPak™.
•The thin fabric between the newborn and the WarmPak™ compartment facilitates maximum
heat transfer from the WarmPak™ to the newborn in the BabyWrap™.
•The newborn compartment is made of fluid-proof, bacteria-resistant, skin-safe TPU fabric.
•The inner surface of the newborn compartment has been designed to minimize seams, and
potential dirt traps.
•The BabyWrap™ is compatible with oxygen and IV lines. It also has an observation window
to facilitate newborn monitoring.
