Care Stripping down Care Clean and disinfect incubator thoroughly: – after each change of patient – at least once a week. With septic patients: – disinfect seals on hand ports daily. Clean and disinfect the accessories, such as the suction equipment, the flowmeter and the skin temperature sensor in accordance with the relevant Instructions for Use.
Care Stripping down Cleaning/disinfecting/sterilizing 1 Remove mattress from bed. 2 Lift off bed. Undo screw on ventilator hose support and remove hose support. Remove bed extension. 3 Pull both support brackets up and out. 4 Remove base plate. Caution. Be careful not to burn yourself. The risk from the heater is particularly great when the incubator has been closed and this risk remains for a long time after the unit has been switched off.

Description Design Description Design The heated and humidified air flows over the entire front face into the canopy. It is channelled up over the front door, along the roof of the canopy and then drawn down past the back wall by means of an extraction system. The baby lies in a still area with very little air flow.
