X-Rays; Weighing Scale - Dräger caleo Instructions For Use Manual

Description

X-rays

With the X-ray drawer, which is accessible from outside, the
patient can be X-rayed in the incubator without having to be
removed or lifted. The X-ray drawer can be pulled out without
®
having to open the Caleo front flap. Unnecessary disturbance
of the patient is therefore avoided. A grid is provided on the
X-ray drawer to help align the X-ray cassette.

Weighing scale

With the optionally fully integrated incubator weighing scale,
the weight of the patient can be determined without having to
remove the patient from the protective climate of the incubator.
Even with the built-in scales, the use of the X-ray drawer
remains possible. To weigh, the patient must be lifted once in
order to reset the scales to a zero point. The patient can then
be placed back on the mattress. The current and previous
weight are displayed for information. The results of the last
30 weighs can be graphically represented in the trend display.
Weighing without lifting the patient again (without new tare
measurement) is possible. This option is useful when the
weight has to be taken again for checking purposes shortly
after the first weigh, or if e.g. the weight with full and empty
nappies has to be determined. The entire weighing procedure
is accompanied by short audible signals, so that the operator's
full attention can be paid to the patient.
When weighing the patient inside an incubator, take care to
ensure that hoses and cables are not jammed in the bed or
distort the weight measurement. If the weight is determined
with hoses and cables, the best results are obtained if the
hoses and cables are removed from the ventilation hose holder
of the bed and laid on the surface of the bed as horizontally
and as strain-free as possible.
®
The weighing scale in the Caleo comprises four weighing
elements located underneath the bed, an electronic measuring
and analysis unit and a special page on the control monitor.
In normal mode, the entire bed rests on these four weighing
elements under the bed. A safety system prevents the
weighing elements being damaged if loads of more than
10 kg are applied. When removing the bed, it should be raised
slightly by turning two fixing knobs so that it can then be pulled
out smoothly.
