removed from use and repaired.
Basic operating procedure
WARNING: The fill tray and lid must be installed for proper incubator operation, even if you do
not plan to use the humidifier.
CAUTION:
w
Do not fill the humidifier past the fill level. Overfilling reduces humidification.
The Care Plus incubator should be on and operating while the Servo-Controlled
Humidifier is operation. For set up, checkout and operation of the Care Plus incubator
refer to the incubator’s Operation and Maintenance manual.
The servo-controlled Humidifier fill tray holds enough water to last for approximately
10 hours. Overfilling the tray will actually decrease humidification.
1. Gently slide the fill tray out of the base until you see the first hole in the tray cover.
You will feel an initial resistance. Apply a steady pull.
2. Add water until it reaches the fill line on the front of the tray (1000 mil maximum).
3. Slide the tray all the way back into the base until the Auto Shutoff/Add water
indicator goes out and the display stops blinking.
4. Select a humidity setting by using the humidity switches (
?
and
M
).
5. Empty the tray when the humidifier is not in use. Disinfect the humidifier weekly
or after each patient. Refer to the section “Cleaning and disinfecting individual
components” in section 5 for disinfection instructions.
