Radiant warmer
The radiant warmer generates a long-wave infrared
radiation. The radiation intensity effective for the
patient is selected at the operating unit of the radiant
warmer, as described on page 21.
The safety guard of the heating elements can reach a
temperature above 85°C. When taking infants out of
the bassinet, take care that they do not grip into the
safety guard.
The radiant warmer is swivel-mounted. For taking
X-ray or in order to reduce the heat exposure for the
personnel, it can be swivelled to either side. The
radiation keeps focussed on the patient, preventing
him from hypothermia.
In order to swivel the radiant warmer retract the
locking knob of the swivel device and turn it by 90°.
Now the radiant warmer can be swivelled to both
sides. Use the two handles and do not touch the
safety guard.
In order to return the warmer to central position again
turn the locking knob by 90° and move the warmer to
central position until the locking knob latches
automatically.
Take care that no items whatsoever are placed within
the moving radius of the radiant warmer.
For illuminating the bassinet dazzle-free two light
sources are integrated in the radiant warmer, which
can be switched-on at the front-side of the device, if
necessary.
