Precautions
Before each use, check that the unit is ready for operation
(see page 31).
Make sure that all hoses and cables are routed correctly
and safely without obstruction! Otherwise: Risk of
extubation! Danger of disconnection!
Lively patients must be observed with particular care.
If the hood, front flap, side flap or access ports are open
or the bed is pulled out or the hose modules removed,
watch the patient carefully to prevent any possibility of
their falling out of the incubator.
Do not lean or apply weight on the bed when it has been
pulled out. Maximum load 5 kg.
Do not use the X-ray drawer as writing support or bed for the
patient.
Allow time for the incubator to warm up before use
(page 119).
Additional external heat sources, such as sunlight,
heat lamps, spotlamps and electric cushions should be
avoided! They cause the temperature inside the Caleo
to rise in an uncontrolled manner.
The baby's core temperature must be regularly moni-
tored with an independent thermometer.
The conclusions to be drawn from the measured skin
temperature are the responsibility of the attending
physicians.
Skin temperature control mode must not be used on
babies who are in shock or who have a high temperature!
Skin temperature control mode must not be used on
®
twins, since the Caleo controls only the temperature for
one baby. Risk of hypothermia or overheating! For twins,
the air temperature control mode must be used.
Make sure that you do not confuse the positions for the
skin temperature sensors. Skin temperature control is
regulated by the yellow skin temperature sensor (T1).
If this sensor is stuck to the wrong part of the body,
the patient may be excessively warmed!

Do not place any cloths over the hot air duct.
The temperature control system would be disrupted,
causing a risk of burning if the air from the hot air duct
is channelled directly to the patient.
The castor with direction lock does not have a brake.
When parking the unit, apply the brakes of all braked
castors.
When treating larger children, their increased heat production
could lead to a rise in the air temperature inside the Caleo
this is the case remove the double wall.
The room temperature must be at least 3
air temperature in the Caleo
When treating twins, pay attention to the risk of cross-infection!
Fire hazard from supply of O
– No naked lights or smoking. Textiles, oil and plastics can
very easily catch fire and burn rapidly in an O
atmosphere!
– All fittings and seals in contact with oxygen must be kept
®
free of oil and grease!
– Open valves on O
– Do not use Caleo
anaesthetic gases or disinfecting agents. Risk of explosion!
– Do not use or keep flammable liquids, such as alcohol, ether
or acetone, in Caleo
– Do not use any electrical equipment in the patient capsule,
unless this equipment is expressly designed for use in
explosion-hazard areas.
Note the physiological risks from O
During O therapy, monitor the O
2
separate O monitor.

The air in the incubator should only be enriched with O
when prescribed by a doctor.
Oxygen is classed as a drug.
O enrichment must be controlled on the basis of
2
measured O saturation in the patient's blood (SaO
2
SpO ).
2
Otherwise, there is a danger of hyperoxaemia (possibility
of damage to the eyes) or hypoxaemia (possibility of
brain damage).
Medicaments and similar substances must not be
atomised in the patient capsule. Correct functioning of
the incubator may be impaired by the precipitation of
atomised substances.
