Precautions During Operation
WARNING !
Never leave baby unattended when front door
or hand ports are open to avoid any risk of a
patient falling out of the incubator.
Temperature
WARNING !
Always check baby's core temperature at
regular intervals!
WARNING !
Temperatures above 37 °C may only be used
on the order of a physician.
In this mode of operation, the baby´s tempera-
ture must be monitored especially carefully.
WARNING !
Additional external heat sources, such as
sunlight, heat lamps, spot lamps, heated
pads, etc. should be avoided. They increase
air temperature inside the incubator in an un-
controlled fashion.
WARNING !
Do not cover phototherapy lights or incubator
hood with blankets, aluminum foil, or other
materials intended to boost the effect of pho-
totherapy. This would cause build-up of heat
since the incubator would not be cooled by
ambient air, a factor absolutely essential for
operation. - Danger of overheating patient!
