1. INFANT INCUBATOR (incubator) belongs to high risk medical device which can endanger
infant's life. Therefore please use the device only in neonate nursing room, children nursing
room, pediatric intensive care unit or similar sickroom in hospital. Operator for the device should
be special trained and operate the device under the instruction of medical practitioner.
2. The operator must keep observing the patient's condition while the device is working. Supervise
and record baby's temperature regularly to check whether the temperature of the patient is over
high/low or any other unusual conditions happen.
3. Please stop using the device when it failure or disfunction. Turn off the power and tansfer the
patient out from the device, then inform our company or our authorized agency for service. DO
NOT ask for service from person who's not been authorized by our company.
4. Direct radiation from sunlight or other infrared source could cause overheating of the infant
without activating the Over Temperature Alarm. DO NOT leave the INCUBATOR in direct
sunlight or near other sources of radiant heat.
5. DO NOT leave the INCUBATOR in the presence of flammable anaesthetic gases or other
flammable materials, such as some types of cleaning fluids.
6. DO NOT leave the INCUBATOR in the presence of strong electromagnetic field.
7. Devices which are easily interfered by magnetic field should not be used near the INCUBATOR
because they may interfered by the INCUBATOR.
8. The incubator does not equip the air cleaner, to make sure the good air quality inside hood, the
incubator should be used in the environment with clean air.
9. Please DO NOT use the INCUBATOR under working environment not stipulated in table 1.1, or
else, it may cause the failure or the INCUBATOR can not reach the requirements.
10. To prevent harm to the infant, the hood should not be raised while leads are connected to the
infant or if the mattress tilted.
11. There should be no need to raise the hood at any time while the infant is cared for in the
incubator. All necessary access to the infant can be achieved by means of the Access Panel
and Access Doors.
12. When the Access Panel is open, the temperature from the air temperature indicator maybe not
the real temperature inside incubator. Therefore, do not leave the Access Panel open much
longer.
13. All access panel‘s latch should be firm plugged, in case accidental open.
14. For infant safety, DO NOT leave the infant unattended when the Access Panel is open.
15. Other accessories within the incubator which can alter the air flow pattern may affect
temperature uniformity and temperature variability.
16. Turning on Phototherapy unit may affect hood wall temperature, incubator air temperature and
infant skin temperature, at this time, we suggest the incubator should be worked in the baby
mode, otherwise the set air temperature of the thermotherapy devices has to be reduced
according to body temperature measurement.
