Check baby’s positioning before closing Baby Pod 20. Re-check the security of the Infant Positioning Straps before
closing the device.
Carefully close Viewing Lid back over the Baby Pod 20 Outer Shell, using two hands at all times until the Lid

the Tubing Access Ports on the sides of the Baby Pod 20 do not become trapped under the Viewing Lid. Gently
slide the front lid section forwards towards the Head of Baby Pod 20, and relocate on the lid locking mechanism,
checking that the mechanism is securely closed and that the lid cannot slide backwards of its own accord.

transport a baby without verifying the security of the Viewing Lid.
Re-check the security of the Stretcher Fixing Straps before transporting baby. If straps have become loose, tighten
by grasping the webbing and pulling away from the slider buckles.
Re-check the security of Baby Pod 20’s closure to ensure patient safety.

To remove baby from Baby Pod 20, release the black lid lock mechanism at the Head end of Baby Pod 20 and

lid on any surrounding objects.
