Warnings and Cautions
Heater Safety
Precautions
Mattress
Should the gel mattress become punctured or ruptured, use the Dräger
Repair
mattress repair kit (Part No. 2M21324) to close the opening. In an
emergency clear adhesive tape may be used to temporarily fix the mattress.
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.
Caution: Remove from mattress all objects with sharp edges. Do not
fold gel mattress. The gel mattress may become damaged.
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: This device is to be used only in rooms with line power
installations complying with national safety standards for
hospital infant rooms. To maintain grounding integrity,
connect only to a "hospital grade" receptacle. Always
disconnect supply before servicing.
