vPad-TI OPERATING MANUAL
2.2 Features
IEC 60601-2-20 ed.2
1
is a standard which specifies safety and performance requirements for an
infant transport incubator. Some of the parameters that lend themselves to testing are
temperature, sound level, air flow and humidity. These parameters are monitored at specific
locations within the incubator and are expected to conform to the values defined by the
Standard. vPad-TI provides the mechanical framework to hold the sensors in the appropriate
locations, and provides the ability to adjust the framework to fit incubators of various sizes.
vPad-TI provides 5 temperature sensors which are positioned according to the standard, with
one central sensor and one sensor in the center of each of four quadrants on the mattress. The
central sensor is an integral component of the data collection and wireless communication hub
of the system. In addition to the 5 temperature sensors, vPad-TI provides mattress
temperature, airflow, sound level and humidity sensors in separate packages which connect to
the central hub. The test protocols are designed to perform all the temperature tests in one
contiguous time block to avoid numerous long heating and cooling cycles. Tests of airflow,
sound and/or humidity are performed either before or after the temperature tests so that the
sensors can be moved about in the incubator without disrupting a temperature test.
2.3 Controls and Interface Connections
Referring to Figure 1 through Figure 5 , the following components, controls and interfaces of
the vPad-TI Transport Incubator Test system are:
1. Sensor Electronics and Wireless
Hub (the
HUB )
Provides the connection point for all sensors used
internally to the incubator or warmer under test.
Also referred to as the DAT unit.
2. Temperature Connectors Temperature Probes (Ta - Te) are connected on
the top of a large, black thermal mass (Puck) to
place the thermistor in the correct position above
the mattress.
3. Thermal Mass (the
Puck
)
Thermal mass to mimic the infant body for
convection warming in a radiant warmer. Contains
Magnetic Fastener (3.b) for attachment of other
sensors
4. Temperature Probe (Ta - Te) Bypasses the thermistor in the Puck and places the
thermistor at the correct position above the
mattress, per the Standard.
