Safety Tips

WARNING:
To prevent injury or damage to the warmer, employ two persons of sufficient strength to
adequately control the warmer during transport. Use the handle when moving the equipment.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Use two persons of sufficient strength to lift the upper post. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied for the Patient Outlet or one that has
tubing with a inner diameter smaller than 10 mm may inadvertently restrict the gas flow such
that the indication of the gas flow and the adjustable airway pressure relief may be inaccurate.
Infant 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:
A minor change in heater power output does not result in an immediate change in the baby's
temperature. A major change in the heater power output causes a more rapid change in the
baby's temperature. Wait for the results. 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 infant injury.
WARNING:
Use only the skin temperature probes with reflective probe covers supplied by the
manufacturer, and ensure they are properly positioned. Failure to do so could result in infant
injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Protect the infant's eyes from strong light from the examination lamp. Failure to do so could
result in infant injury.
WARNING:
All panels must be erect and secure during transport. Failure to do so could result in infant
injury.
