Precautions During Operation
WARNING !
Never leave patient unattended when
surrounding panels are down. Risk of patient
injury by infant falling out of the bassinet.
WARNING !
When folding up surrounding panels, take care
not to pinch patient body parts, circuits, or other
items, such as sheets.
WARNING !
Patient Temperature Monitoring
Check the baby´s core temperature and skin
condition at regular intervals and adjust
temperature setting to individual patient needs.
Core temperature of the baby must be
monitored particularly carefully during
phototherapy or while a radiant warmer is used
in conjunction with the Babytherm heated
bassinet (see pages 26 - 28).
Skin temperature monitoring is no substitute for
core temperature checks since the two
parameters do not always closely correlate.
WARNING !
Mattress Heater
When mattress heating is used, the gel mattress
must be placed directly on the heated tray
surface.
The Dräger gel mattress (part no. 2M 20 827)
must not be used in any bassinets other than the
Babytherm 8000 WB. Heater plate temperatures
above 40 °C (104 °F) implicate the danger of
patient burns! Use of a gel mattress with
unheated bassinets will result in patient cooling.
Always take into acount warm-up time of the
mattress (approximately 1 hour) before placing
a patient in the bassinet.
Do not switch off mattress heater while a baby is
lying on the gel mattress as this will result in
cooling patient .
