Careful inspection of BabyPod 2 prior to use is critical. Follow these steps in order to avoid overlooking important
visual inspections.

Remove BabyPod 2 carefully from its protective storage bag and/or cover.

Release the black lid turn knob mechanism at the ‘Front and Rear ends’ of the BabyPod 2. Fully open the lids
being careful not to bump the viewing lid on any surrounding objects.
4.
Remove the loose contents of the BabyPod 2, including the TransWarmer Mattress and loose Stretcher Fixing
Straps.
5.
Note: Infant Positioning Straps are already fastened into position and should not be removed until they require
replacement for a new patient and during cleaning.
6.
Inspect the Side and End Stretcher Fixing Straps for integrity, making sure that the metal buckle is securely
attached to the straps. DO NOT use any component that does not pass visual inspection.
7.
Remove Vacuum Mattress from BabyPod 2. Inspect the mattress for holes or other obvious flaws.

Shell.

Carefully close Viewing Lids back over the BabyPod 2, checking operation of each hinge mechanism. Inspect
Viewing Lid sections carefully for cracks or irregularities. When the BabyPod 2 is closed, the Viewing Lid should
be evenly aligned along the lengthwise axis of the device.

friction hinges can be adjusted to users requirements.
