When using Phototherapy
WARNING
Danger to patient of overheating.
Absorption of light through the patient's skin will supply
heat. This may increase the core temperature.
Monitor the core temperature of the patient regularly with
particular care during phototherapy.
WARNING
Reduce the set value of air temperature approx.
15 minutes before starting phototherapy by approx. 2
Decrease the set value for humidity.
The room temperature must be at least 3
the air temperature in the Caleo
applies to Dräger Type 4000 phototherapy units.
When using other phototherapy units, especially units
without a built-in fan, the temperature in the Caleo
bator may rise even more sharply.
Phototherapy may only be used with a stand.
WARNING
Fluid balance can be affected adversely by phototherapy.
The supply of fluid to the patient must be increased, e.g.
by parentral infusion, to compensate for the increased
loss of water during phototherapy.
WARNING
The phototherapy light and Caleo
covered with cloths, aluminium foil or other materials in
order to boost the phototherapeutic effect to avoid the
risk of overheating the patient.
Do not cover the phototherapy light and hood of Caleo
with cloth, aluminium foil etc.
Weighing scale
WARNING
If you fail to observe the Instructions for Use (see
page 89), considerable measuring errors may occur
when determining the patient weight.
Only use the built-in scale to determine the weight of the
patient.
To back up critical therapeutic decisions that are based
on the weight of the patient, check the measured weight
with the help of a reference measurement carried out on
an external scale.
Transport within hospitals
WARNING
During internal transport outside the hospital building,
the castors can be damaged or dislodged. Risk of
toppling over.
An even floor surface must be ensured when moving the
Caleo.
