E.g. for short-term treatment or for infants in shock and
for whom automatic skin temperature control must not be
used.
The radiant heater delivers a preset heat output,
regardless of the body temperature of the infant.
Do not operate the apparatus without medical
supervision.
Regularly check the core temperature of the infant.
To remind the user to monitor the core temperature
constantly at higher heater output levels, an intermittent
tone (3 short bleeps) is sounded every 15 minutes at
heater level 6 and above.
Acknowledge this audible alarm by pressing the ® key
(no audible alarm is emitted in the lower range up to
heater level 5).
