Basic operating procedure
This section tells you how to setup and use the incubator in the air and the patient
control modes.
For more detailed information on humidifier setup, oxygen administration, opening and
closing the door, or Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg positioning, refer to the
section “Additional operating procedures” at the end of this chapter.
WARNINGS
Always set the brakes before placing a patient in the incubator.
The humidifier must be installed for proper incubator operation, even if you
do not plan to use the humidifier.
1. Verify that the air temperature probe is connected to the controller and that the
humidifier is installed. Plug the incubator into a power outlet and set the caster
brakes. If desired, fill the humidifier, position the mattress tilt, and set up any
additional equipment.
2. Place the power switch in the On position and verify that:
a. An alternating, two tone audible alarm sounds for approximately five seconds,
all the indicators illuminate and “188.88” appears in the temperature displays.
b. All indicators are extinguished except for the air control and the enable
indicators. The temperature displays change to show from left to right:
Patient Air Control
Temperature
Temperature
Temperature
XX.XX (software
60H (AC frequency;
39.0°C (maximum
version, for ex:01.01)
50H for 50 Hz units)
air control temperature)
c. An operator prompt tone sounds, and the control temperature display flashes
“33.0°C”. The operator prompt tone sounds every two seconds until a control
temperature is entered. The heater will not operate until a control temperature
is entered.
d. If you plan to use the air control mode, continue with step 3.
e. If you plan to use the patient control mode, use steps 3 and 4, as appropriate,
to preheat the incubator to the air temperature required to maintain the desired
skin temperature.
3. Use the temperature switches (
?
and
M
) to enter the control temperature. The
normal range for air control temperatures is 20.0 to 37.0°C.
4. To select a control temperature above 37.0°C, adjust the control temperature
to 37.0°C, make sure the enable indicator is still illuminated, and press the
Override switch. If the enable indicator has gone out, the Enable switch has to be
depressed before the Override switch will function.
5. Select either Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature readings with the °F/°C switch.
