Operating the OmniBed
Using the X-ray tray
Raise the canopy and place a film cassette on the tray that
slides out from under the mattress for X-ray procedures. The
tray slides out on either side of the bed (A). The cassette can
be slid into the cavity under the mattress without moving the
baby. X-rays may be taken with canopy up or down.
Administering oxygen
WARNINGS

To administer free flow oxygen within
the infant compartment, use only a
servo-controlled oxygen delivery
system. If a servo-controlled oxygen
system is not used, variations in fan
speed may cause unexpected changes
in O

levels.

Additional oxygen should only be
administered under the direction of
qualified medical personnel.

The use of head boxes, hoods and
oxygen inlets can increase the noise
level inside the OmniBed.

Remove all sources of ignition including
smoking materials, and sources of electrical
discharge from the area when oxygen is in
use. In the presence of high oxygen concen-
trations, even relatively nonflammable items
can ignite and burn rapidly. Do not place
auxiliary equipment producing sparks inside
the incubator. Even small quantities of
highly flammable items (such as organic
cleaning solvents) may explode.
Installing wristlets
Unlike other incubators you may have used, Giraffe porthole
wristlets are installed on the inside of the porthole, between the
porthole and the inner wall. First open the side door by pinching
the latches and lowering the door, then push out on the tabs on
the back of the door latches to release the top of the inner wall.
Swing the wall away from the door. Stretch the larger elastic
band on wristlet around the rim of the porthole seal so that it fits
into the groove behind the rim, then swing the inner wall back
so it snaps into the locked position to secure the wristlet in
place. Close the side door.
