Warning: Use of gel mattress when mattress heater is switched off will
result in infant becoming hypothermic. Use foam rubber
mattress when mattress heater is not in use for extended
periods (> 15 min.).
Caution: Never route infant circuits or lines over top of panels – they
may get pinched when folding up panels or when installing
cover.
Warning: To prevent infant fall, do not leave infant unattended when
any panels are down. All panels must be erect and secure
during transport to prevent infant fall.
Warning: When folding up surrounding panels, take care not to pinch
infant body parts, circuits, or other items, such as sheets.
Warning: Temperature Monitoring: Check the infant's temperature and
skin condition at regular intervals and adjust temperature
setting to individual infant needs. Infant temperature must
be monitored particularly carefully during phototherapy or
while a radiant warmer is used in conjunction with the
Babytherm heated bassinet.
Warning: Mattress Heater: When mattress heating is used, the gel
mattress must be placed directly on the heated tray surface.
Always take into account warm-up time of the mattress
(approximately 1 hour) before placing an infant in the
bassinet.
Warning: To minimize infant overheating, always consider effect of
additional heat sources, such as phototherapy lamps or
radiant warmers. They increase the heat directed to the
infant. Avoid direct sunlight.
Warning: Do not obstruct conductive heat transfer by placing
additional blankets or other insulating covers underneath the
infant.
Warning: Set temperatures in the lower extended temperature range
only on the order of a physician. Check the infant's
temperature and skin condition at regular intervals.
Warning: Check the infant's temperature and skin condition at regular
intervals.
