WARNING:
w
Do not place any foreign objects on the warmer bed or in the under bed
cavity while performing X-ray procedures. Incompatible materials in the
path of the X-ray may adversely affect the quality of the X-ray image. Use of
mattress or bedding materials other than those supplied by Ohmeda should
be evaluated by a Neonatologist or Radiologist.
The tray can be removed for cleaning by simply sliding it all the way out of the slides. The
tray should be cleaned between patients according to the hospital protocol . Refer to
section 4.1 for a list of recommended cleaning agents.
3.8 Oxygen Administration
WARNING:
w
Oxygen concentrations higher than 40% can increase the risk of retrolental
fibroplasia (retinopathy of prematurity). It is probable that even concentrations of
40% or less oxygen (formerly considered safe) could be dangerous to some
infants. Therefore, arterial blood gas measurements are extremely important for
regulation of the concentration of inspired oxygen when an oxygen-enriched
environment is considered necessary. (See current edition of “Standards and
Recommendations for Hospital Care of Newborn Infants” prepared by the Com-
mittee of Fetus and Newborn of the American Academy of Pediatrics.)
Oxygen can be administered from a regulated pipeline source or from auxiliary oxygen
tanks mounted on the Warmer.
3.9 Gas Cylinder Installation and Operation
(See Figure 3-9)
Note: Use United States “E” size pin indexed gas cylinders only.
U.S. “E” size cylinders, with 11 cm x 66 cm outside dimensions, may be used with
warmer units with elevating pedestals.
British “E” size cylinders are too long to be used with units with elevating pedestals.
Mounting these larger cylinders on elevating units can damage the yoke, manifold or
cylinder pin if the cylinder contacts the floor.
WARNING:
w
Using medical gas cylinders that are not recommended for mounting on the
Infant Warmer System may result in a fire hazard or an explosion.
Note: Discontinue therapy while replacing cylinders.
Close Yoke
Gate. Tighten
tee handle by
hand only.
Use a fresh
gasket each
time a cylinder
is replaced.
Use only one
cylinder gasket
per yoke.
