How to use this manual
This manual serves both as a guide to learn how to operate the Care Plus and as refer-
ence once you are familiar with the Care Plus.
If you are setting up the system for the rst time, read all the sections starting with
Chapter 2,“Getting Started,” which contains unpacking, assembly, and accessory
mounting information.
If the Care Plus is already in place and this is the rst time you have used it, start with
Chapter 3,“General Information.”
If you have used the Care Plus previously, complete the step-by-step checkout proce-
dure in Chapter 4, which is required before using the incubator. Then turn to Chapter 5
“Using the Incubator.”
This manual includes instructions for a new continuous bed tilt model, so even if you
have used the Care Plus before, you should acquaint yourself with new operation and
check procedures concerning this new model.
Before cleaning the Care Plus, read Chapter 6,“Maintaining the Incubator,” carefully.
In addition to explaining how to disassemble and clean the incubator, it contains spe-
cic cautions about cleaning methods that can damage incubator components.
Chapter 7,“Service procedures,” helps you solve problems that may occur with the
incubator. For example, what do you do if the temperature switches (Mand ?) don’t
work? (Press the Enable switch to activate them.)
Chapter 8,“Maintenance Parts and Accessories,” tells you how to order replacement
parts and accessories.
The Appendix contains additional reference material: incubator specications and a
glossary of the terms used in this manual.

Operating modes
The Care Plus has two operating modes: the air control (or manual) mode, which
adjusts heater output to achieve a target air temperature; and the patient control
(or servo) mode, which adjusts the incubator temperature to achieve a target infant
skin temperature. In both modes, the target temperature appears in the Control
Temperature display on the front of the controller and can be adjusted using the
temperature switches (?and M).
To distinguish between control temperatures in the dierent modes, this manual uses
the term “air control temperature” for the control temperature in the air control mode
and the term “patient control temperature” for the control temperature in the patient
control mode.
Note: This section briey mentions displays, controls, and alarms that play a
signicant role in the air control and patient control modes. For further information,
refer to the appropriate section “Controls and displays” or“Alarms.”
The air control (manual) mode
The air control mode compares the air temperature to the air control temperature to
determine if the heater should be switched on or o. If the air temperature is too high,
the heater switches o. If the air temperature is too low, the heater switches on.
Air control temperature
The air control mode lets you enter air control range temperatures from 20 to 37°C
(68.0 to 98.6°F) using the temperature switches (?and M). Pressing the Override
switch when the air control temperature is 37°C (98.6°F) lets you increase the air
control temperature to 39.0°C (102.2°F).
Control temperature alarm
The control temperature alarm triggers if the air temperature exceeds a normal range
air control temperature by more than 1.5°C (2.7°F) or if the air temperature falls more
than 3.0°C (5.4°F) below the air control temperature. For air control temperatures
above 37°C, the control temperature alarm triggers if the air temperature exceeds the
air control temperature by more than 1.0°C (1.8°F).
To avoid unnecessary alarms, the control temperature alarm does not trigger during
the rst 30 minutes after power is switched on and for 15 minutes after you change
the air control temperature or enter the air control mode from the patient control
mode. During this period, normal incubator alarm routines verify proper operation and
switch o the heater if the air temperature exceeds certain default safety limits: 38°C
(100.4°F) for control temperatures below 37°C (98.6°F) and 40°C (104.0°F) for control
temperatures above 37°C.

3-2
3/General Information
3-2
6600-0239-000 100
Patient probe
In the air control mode, the patient probe has no aect on incubator operation;
connecting the probe simply displays the patient temperature for your information.
The patient control (servo) mode
In the patient control mode, the control temperature (patient control temperature)
corresponds to the desired patient skin temperature. To reach an incubator
temperature that will maintain the desired skin temperature the incubator control
system loops through the program shown in Figure 3-1. This program compares the
patient control temperature setting to the actual patient temperature and raises or
lowers the incubator temperature depending on whether the infant is hot or cold. The
incubator temperature that maintains the desired skin temperature is referred to as the
DET (Desired Environmental Temperature). The maximum DET that the incubator will
maintain is 39.0°C (102.2°F).
You can reduce the time required to reach the DET by preheating the incubator in
the air control mode before entering the patient control mode. The closer the air
temperature gets to the actual air temperature required to maintain the desired infant
skin
temperature, the sooner the incubator will stabilize the infant’s temperature in the
patient control mode. When you switch to the patient control mode, the previous air
control temperature becomes the initial DET. The incubator automatically adjusts the
DET using the three stage patient control mode program, shown in Figure 3-1.
The rst stage of the loop checks to make sure that the patient probe is reporting a
reasonable patient temperature before making any adjustments. If the patient
temperature is less than 30°C (86.0°F) or above 42°C (107.6°F), the incubator assumes
that the patient probe has detached from the infant, the patient temperature alarm
triggers, the heater shuts o, and the DET remains unchanged.
The second stage of the loop calculates the PTG (Patient Temperature Gradient), the
dierence between the actual patient temperature and the selected patient control
temperature, to determine if the infant is hot or cold. If the infant is too cold (PTG <
-0.5°C), the heater switches On. If the infant is too hot (PTG > 0.5°C), the heater shuts
down. The patient temperature continues to be checked every three seconds.
The third stage calculates the change in the patient temperature over the previous ten
minute period. If the infant temperature diers from the patient control temperature
setting by 0.2°C or more, and this dierence has not decreased by at least 0.2°C
during the last ten minute period, the DET will be adjusted. To prevent large incubator
temperature swings and to allow time for the patient to respond to changes in the
incubator temperature, the magnitude of the change in the DET depends on the PTG.
Patient control temperature range
The patient control mode lets you enter air control temperatures from 35.0 to 37.0°C
(95.0 to 98.6°F) using the temperature switches (?and M). An internal
adjustment lets you increase the patient control temperature to 37.5°C (99.5°F).
Patient temperature alarm
Patient temperature alarm monitoring runs concurrently with the control loop. A patient
temperature alarm triggers if the patient temperature diers from the patient control
temperature by more than 1.0°C (1.8°F), or 0.5°C (0.9°F) with an internal adjustment.
Additional alarm routines verify proper operation and switch o the heater if the air
temperature exceeds 40.0°C (104.0°F).

Controls and displays
Patient temperature
During normal operation, the patient temperature display shows the temperature
sensed at the patient probe tip, in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The patient probe must be
properly connected to the incubator and the infant for an accurate patient temperature
measurement.
Temperatures between 22.0 and 42.0°C (71.6 and 107.6°F) are displayed to the
nearest 0.1°C or °F. Temperatures above this range result in a HHHH temperature
display. Temperatures below this range cause LLLL to be displayed.
Depressing the Enable switch for more than ve seconds tests the temperature
monitoring system. If the monitoring system is functioning correctly, 25.05°C ±0.2°C
replaces the patient temperature during the test.
Air temperature
During normal operation, the air temperature display shows the internal incubator
temperature.
Air temperatures between 5 and 50.0°C (41 and 122°F) are displayed to the nearest
0.1°C or °F.
Depressing the Enable switch for more than ve seconds tests the temperature
monitoring system. If the monitoring system is functioning correctly, 37.95°C ±0.2°C
replaces the air temperature during the test.
