1.1 General
The Ohmeda Medical Panda
TM
Baby Warmer provides a controlled source of radiant heat
for infants and pediatric patients. The control system uses a microprocessor and provides
both manual and servo modes of operation. The patient temperature, control temperature,
and elapsed time displays are digital for ease of viewing. The control panel includes a one
hour elapsed timer with time displayed in minutes and seconds. The timer features
optional audible tones for use during Apgar scoring. A complete audio and visual alarm
system is included on the control panel.
1.2 Support Structure
The support structure provides excellent stability for the radiant heater and optional accessories. On
the free standing unit, the support structure consists of the base assembly and the uprights with an
integral rail system. The rails provide a means for mounting accessories and ancillary equipment to
the unit. Refer to Section 1.7 for a description of the accessory items.
1.3 Heater Assembly
The warmer is designed to warm infants on a bed surface located beneath the heater assembly.
WARNING:
w
Bed-to-heater spacing less than the recommended 64 cm will result in incor-
rect operation and may adversly affect the patient’s condition.
For your convenience, on the free standing unit the proper bed-to-heater spacing is indi-
cated by a label located on the right aluminum upright (as viewed from the front).
The heater assembly consists of a radiant heater, parabolic reflector, observation light, and
a visual alarm light. The parabolic reflector focuses radiant energy on the bed surface,
minimizing energy loss due to scattering and providing an even field of radiant heat over the
bed surface. The observation light provides intense light for procedures. The alarm light is
located on the end of the heater assembly for ease of viewing. The entire heater assembly
rotates to the side for X-ray procedures and for observation lamp replacement.
1.4 Control Unit
The control unit contains the electronic circuits and controls used to operate the radiant
heater and the observation light. The control unit performs regular self checks during its
operation including failure diagnostics.
