Operating Instructions Babytherm 8004/8010, 2. ed.

WARNING !

Mattress Heater (Babytherm 8010 only)

When mattress heating is used, the gel mattress must be placed directly on the heated tray surface.

The Dräger gel mattress (part no. 2M 20 827) must not be used in any bassinets other than the Babytherm. Heater plate temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) implicate the danger of patient burns! Use of a gel mattress with unheated bassinets will result in uncontrolled patient cooling.

Always take into account warm-up time of the mattress (approximately 1 hour) before placing a patient in the bassinet.

Do not switch off Babytherm while a baby is lying on the gel mattress as this will result in uncontrolled cooling of patient .

WARNING !

Do not touch top of radiant heater or protective screen.

Danger of burn injuries!

WARNING !

Do not use flammable detergents, or medications while radiant heater is in operation.

Fire hazard!

WARNING !

Never leave baby unattended while radiant warmer is in operation!

Measure core temperature at regular intervals!

WARNING !

Do not put any medications or infusion solutions in the heated area.

Important Safety Information

Precautions During Operation

WARNING !

Skin temperature control must not be used with babies in thermic shock. Because of reduced peripheral blood flow the skin temperature of these babies occasionally lies well below the core body temperature. Using a skin temperature control system could lead to overheating. We recommend to set heater output manually when caring for patients with such conditions (see page 28).

WARNING !

Do not use skin temperature control for infants with a high temperature. Their skin temperature is significantly higher than normal so that controlling skin temperature would lead to hypothermia. We recommend to set heater output manually when caring for patients with such conditions (see page 28).

WARNING !

Always operate phototherapy lights in combination with radiant heater. Otherwise risk of hypothermia for the undressed infant.

Core temperature of the baby must be monitored particularly carefully during phototherapy because of the additional transfer of thermal energy to the patient.

WARNING !

Fire Hazards from oxygen !

No open flames or cigarettes !

Textiles, plastics, and oils readily ignite in an oxygen enriched atmosphere and burn with great intensity.

Keep oxygen valves, connections, and seals free from oil and grease.

Open valves slowly

Do not operate Babytherm in the presence of flammable anesthetics or disinfectants

Do not use or store flammable liquids such as alcohol, ether, or acetone inside the Babytherm bassinet.

Do not use electrical equipment inside hood with the exception of devices approved for use in explosive environments.

Important Safety Information

Precautions During Operation

WARNING !

Physiological risks of oxygen !

Oxygen therapy only on the order of a physician

Elevated oxygen concentrations must be selected on the basis of arterially measured oxygen partial pressure in the patient's blood. Otherwise risk of hyperoxemia (eye injuries with consequential blindness) or hypoxemia (brain injuries).

Monitor oxygen concentration at all times during oxygen therapy.

WARNING !

Always verify that sensor probe is specified and approved for use with Dräger Babytherm Radiant Warmer 8004/8010.

WARNING !

The sensor probe must never be placed under the baby. It would be measuring and attempting to control core temperature rather than skin temperature.

WARNING !

Never use skin temperature probes for rectally measuring core temperature !

Specifically, never use skin temperature probe rectally for skin temperature control as this would measure and use core instead of skin temperature for control.

WARNING !

When using skin temperature control mode, check infant skin condition at regular intervals and verify that skin temperature probe is securely attached. A detached probe will measure air temperature and the baby might become overheated.

WARNING !

Always warm up mattress before placing patient.

Do not switch off Babytherm while a baby is lying on the gel mattress as this will result in uncontrolled cooling of patient.

WARNING !

Use temperature settings in the lower extended temperature range only on the order of a physician. Watch patient particularly carefully!

WARNING !

Always use patient eye protection when using phototherapy.

WARNING !

Always consider differentiated diagnosis for patient so life sustaining measures are not delayed.

WARNING !

Check the baby´s core temperature at regular intervals. Phototherapy increases heat transfer to patient.

Measure patient's bilirubin level at regular intervals

CAUTION !

Remove from mattress all objects with sharp edges. The gel mattress could be damaged!

Do not fold gel mattress!

CAUTION !

Do not place any objects above or underneath bassinet where they might be damaged when height adjustments are made.

Theory of Operation

Description of System Components

Description of System Components

Babytherm consists of

a mobile chassis with the attached infant bed

a controller unit with operating panel

a radiant heater, and

a mattress heating system (Babytherm 8010 only)

Controller unit

The controller unit is located below the radiant warmer between the two support columns at the head end of the bed. The panel contains a membrane keypad and display area. Integrated into the alphanumeric display (2 x 40 characters) is a user guide for easier operation.

Radiant heater

The radiant warmer combines two infrared ceramic heaters and 2 lights for illuminating the bed surface. An integrated phototherapy light is optional.

The work light provides two settings, for daytime and for nighttime lighting. The well balanced color spectrum of the lamps used makes it easier to recognize diagnostically significant skin color nuances.

The radiant warmer can be operated in manual control mode or skin temperature control mode.

"Manual" control mode provides fixed heater output level settings from 1 through 10.

"Skin control" controls skin temperature according to a preset value. Heater output is then automatically controlled to patient needs.

Both modes of operation are monitored with check routines and alarm schemes.

ThermoMonitoring

ThermoMonitoring is made possible with a secondary skin temperature sensor. Skin temperatures taken close to the body core and at the periphery (tummy-toe temperature monitoring) are displayed on the controller unit. They can be graphically represented on a PC via optional serial interface (RS 232), using Dräger's ThermoView software, improving diagnostic possibilities.

Mattress heating

The Babytherm 8004/8010 features a mattress heating system that uses conductive heat transfer to warm up patients and to keep them warm.The system consists of a gel mattress, an aluminum heating plate and an electronic control and monitoring unit.

The gel mattress is made of a gel material with excellent heat conducting properties, which won't dislocate even when the bed is tilted. The gel is enclosed by a soft, skin compatible film.

The mattress molds itself to the body contours of the patient lying on it, resulting in a large contact surface, a property facilitating heat conduction to the patient and avoiding pressure points (anti-decubitus effect). A cold gel mattress, on the other hand, dissipates a patient's thermal energy. The gel material has an excellent capacity for storing heat. When the power supply is disconnected (e.g. during a transport within the hospital), the patient is kept warm for approximately 15 minutes if sufficiently insulated (blanket, cover).

The aluminum heating plate consists of a 6 mm

(1/4 inch) thick aluminum plate and a heater element attached below. It distributes heat evenly over the entire bed area.

The mattress heater membrane keypad with its buttons and display is located on the right-hand side of the controller unit.

Mattress temperature is controlled according to the set value entered. It adjusts in such a way that the set temperature is reached (but not exceeded) in those areas where the patient is in contact with the mattress. System monitoring includes check routines and alarm features.

Configuration mode

Configuration mode is a special operational mode of the Babytherm 8004/8010 controller. In this mode, information regarding software version and error log cna be polled. The device can also be programmed with user specific settings of skin temperature alarm threshold, volume of audible alarms, as well as language and contrast of the alphanumeric display. It also serves to test the built-in nurse call and keys of the operating panel.

.ed .2 8004/8010, Babytherm Instructions Operating

14

Theory of Operation

Description of System Components

Phototherapy (available option)

Light from the halogen lamps contributes to photochemical breakdown of bilirubin in the skin. Dräger halogen lights emit very effectively at wavelengths around 460 nm without the blue light often

associated with phototherapy. They therefore provide for good skin color representation.

Phototherapy is switched on the main controller panel.

Modes of heater operation Babytherm 8004

Operation of radiant heater with preset heater output: Heater output is controlled in "manual" mode and therapy is time-limited for higher heater output settings.

Operation of radiant heater in "skin control" mode: Skin temperature is monitored and controlled.

Modes of heater operation Babytherm 8010

Operation of radiant heater with preset heater output: Heater output is controlled in "manual" mode and therapy time-limited for higher heater output settings.

Operation of radiant heater in "skin control" mode: Skin temperature is monitored and controlled.

Mattress heater, independent of radiant heater: Temperature of heating surface monitored and controlled to maintain a preset temperature in the contact area between infant and mattress.

Operating Instructions Babytherm 8004/8010, 2. ed.

15

Theory of Operation

Alarm System

Alarm System

The Babytherm controller distinguishes three levels of alarms.

High potential for patient risk

a continuous audible alarm (enunciator) that cannot be silenced, for:

device malfunction,

power failure

an alarm tone sequence (loudspeaker) that can be silenced in combination with flashing red LED, for:

mattress heater sensor failure,

mattress heater exceeding temperature limits,

skin temperature sensor not connected during skin control,

sensor failure of tummy or toe skin temperature sensor.

Medium potential for patient risk

an alarm tone sequence (can be silenced ) in combination with flashing yellow LED, for:

deviation between set and measured value for skin or mattress temperature exceeding tolerance,

15-minute alarm (as a reminder to check core temperature during manual mode with heater levels higher than 3).

Low potential for patient risk

Display messages for:

measured values out of measuring range,

low battery voltage.

Any alarm that has not been acknowledged is indicated by flashing red central alarm light on the radiant heater unit.

The display shows a specific message for the alarm activated.

NOTE: A new alarm being activated will always override audible alarm silencing.

Central Alarm

1Red light on radiant heater starts flashing simultaneously with any audible alarms.

Acknowledging the alarm will switch light off.
