Baby Mode - Dräger WBR82 Instructions For Use Manual

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 5 Feb 04

Baby Mode

Use Baby Mode for long-term warming. In the Baby Mode, a temperature probe placed on the infant's
abdomen measures the infant's skin temperature. The radiant warmer in Baby Mode operates in servo
control, or closed loop control. The healthcare provider selects the desired temperature for the infant. The
controller detects the infant's temperature from the probe, compares it to the set point entered by the user,
and adjusts the heater temperature accordingly.
Baby Mode also allows the device to maintain the temperature more consistently by responding to
changes in the infant or the environment as they impact the infant's temperature. Additionally, this mode
of operation provides baby temperature alarms.
WARNING:
To avoid the hazards of overheating or underheating, do not leave the infant unattended.
WARNING:
Only properly trained personnel directed by an appropriately qualified physician aware of the
currently known hazards and benefits should use infant radiant warmers. Otherwise, personal
injury could occur.
WARNING:
Inspect the infant's skin for reddened areas, which may result from heating of materials, such as
plastic diapers or pins, in contact with the skin or from removing a layer of skin when removing
the probe cover. Failure to do so could result in infant injury.
WARNING:
Dressing the infant or swaddling with a blanket during radiant warming could cause skin
temperature variations and set point temperature alarms. To prevent excessive skin
temperature variations, always uncover or undress the infant during radiant warming. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
1. Plug the skin temperature probe into the controller's skin temperature probe connector.
2. Using the Mode Select key, select Baby Mode.
