Intended Use
Intended Use
Heat therapy for premature babies and sick neonates;
with control of air temperature and humidity; and also
skin temperature as an option.
The incubator must only be used by properly trained
staff under the supervision of qualified medical staff
who have up-to-date knowledge of the risks and
benefits of the use of incubators.
Do not use the skin temperature control on babies
who are in shock or who have high temperatures.
The air in the incubator should only be enriched with
oxygen when prescribed by a doctor. It is absolutely
essential that such oxygen enrichment is controlled
on the basis of the arterially-measured oxygen partial
pressure in the patient's blood. If this is not done
there is a risk of hyperoxaemia (damage to the eyes)
and hypoxaemia (damage to the brain).
Do not nebulize any medicaments or similar
substances in the patient's room. If nebulized
substances fall onto the incubator this may impair its
functioning.
Mobile telephones must not be used within 10 metres
of the incubator.
Mobile telephones may interfere with the functioning of
electro-medical equipment.
Maximum load must not exceed 25 kg.
Only connect incubator to a mains power socket.
Do not use a mains distribution board.
If there is a circuit breaker in the supply to the distribution
board the permitted limit for leakage currents might be
exceeded. There could then be an electrical risk for
patient and staff.

Precautions
Operation
Precautions
Warming-up time
Allow adequate time for warming-up before placing the
baby in the incubator (about 35 minutes).
Recommendation: operate incubator in standby,
see p. 19.
Do not cover air stream channels in base plate:
Danger of burning or cooling patient.
Controlling temperature of incubator
– Temperature may be increased very rapidly when
required because of high heating power.
– Temperature drops slowly because of good thermal
insulation.
Additional external heat sources, such as sunlight, heat
lamps, spotlamps, electric cushions should be avoided.
These increase the air temperature inside the incubator in
an uncontrolled manner.
Setting air temperature of incubator
The baby experiences minimal heat loss
– by convection because of low air speed across bed
– by conduction through the mattress
– by evaporation because of high humidity setting in
incubator.
Therefore,
compared with other incubators, such as the Incubator
6000 or 7000, a lower incubator air temperature can be
set.
The baby's core temperature must be monitored
continually, particularly during the first few hours of
incubator care.
17
Operation
Precautions
Reducing the internal temperature of the incubator
The cooling time is dependent on the design and can be
accelerated by:
– reducing the outside temperature (when possible)
– reducing the air-humidity setting.
The rate of cooling is not accelerated by:
– setting the air temperature to a lower value than is
actually required.
In urgent cases: open front door or hand ports. When
front door is opened, there must be continuous
supervision to make sure that the baby does not fall out.
Fire risk from oxygen
– No naked lights or smoking. Textiles, oil and plastics
can very easily catch fire and burn rapidly in an
oxygen-enriched atmosphere.
– Keep all fittings and seals in contact with oxygen free
of oil and grease.
– Open valves on O2 cylinders slowly.
– Do not use an incubator where there are flammable
anaesthetic gases or disinfection agents.
Risk of explosion.
Phototherapy in the incubator
Absorption of light through the baby's skin will supply
heat which may increase the baby's core temperature.
Therefore,
● Decrease temperature setting for incubator air by
about 2 °C 15 minutes before phototherapy.
● Decrease the set value for humidity.
● Reduce the room temperature to at least 3 °C below
the air temperature of the incubator.
This value applies for Dräger 800/8000/4000
phototherapy units.
Other phototherapy units, particularly those without a
built-in fan, may cause even greater heating of the
incubator.
The core temperature of the baby must be monitored
with particular care during phototherapy.
The supply of fluids to the baby must be increased
e.g. by parenteral infusion, in order to compensate for
increased loss of water during phototherapy.
The phototherapy lamp and incubator canopy must
not be covered with cloths, aluminium foil, or other
materials, to boost the photo-therapeutic effect.
Risk of heat build-up. The incubator could not then be
adequately cooled with ambient air.
Danger of overheating the patient.
– Do not use or keep flammable liquids, such as
alcohol, ether and acetone in the incubator.
– Do not use any electrical equipment inside the
incubator, except, that is, for equipment expressly
designed for use in areas where there is a risk of
explosion.
Physiological risks from oxygen
The air in the incubator should only be enriched with
oxygen when prescribed by a doctor. It is absolutely
essential that such oxygen enrichment is controlled
on the basis of the arterially-measured oxygen partial
pressure in the blood of the patient. This is the only
way of avoiding both hyperoxaemia (damage to the
eyes) and hypoxaemia (damage to the brain).
Temperature of breathing gas
During ventilation the breathing-gas hoses may become
too warm from the heated air circulating in the incubator.
The temperature of the breathing gas must be monitored.
Preventing high noise levels
Noise levels that are too high for the patient may be
caused by:
– using head boxes to deliver pressurised gas,
– wear on the bearings of the fan motor,
– placing objects on the incubator canopy.
● Observe maintenance intervals, p. 42.
● Do not place anything on the incubator canopy.
Electrical safety
Use only electro-medical ancillary equipment which
complies with the IEC 601-1, EN 60601-1 or DIN
VDE 0750, part 1, regulations.
18
Wait for warming-up time.
Wait for about 35 minutes before use.
● Heat incubator in "air temperature control" operating
mode.
If incubator has to be used urgently:
● Operate incubator in standby mode:
Set air temperature to 32 °C to 36 °C,
see p. 20, and set humidity control to 0, see p. 30.
Just before placing the baby in the incubator:
Fill water container
Operation
● If required use protective gloves.
1 Take cover of water container off and
2 fill container to mark with clean, distilled or
demineralised water (hospital dispensary).
Do not use any additives.
Take care not to overfill.
● Put cover of water container back.
● Then disinfect hands.
If water bottles are used:
Fill water bottles
● If required use protective gloves.
1 Open back panel and fold down.

The sensor must never be attached under the baby
since it would then be measuring and controlling core
temperature and not skin temperature.
● Check regularly that the skin temperature sensor
is properly fixed to the baby's skin.
A skin temperature sensor which has fallen off would
be measuring air temperature so that the baby could
become overheated (though the temperature of the air
in the incubator would not exceed 39 °C).

Time needed for control to be effective
Differences between the set value and the actual value
for skin temperature are corrected by the temperature of
the air in the incubator which is between a minimum of
28 °C and a maximum of 39 °C.
When the skin temperature required is higher than the
actual temperature (skin too cold), air temperature in the
incubator is increased.
When the skin temperature required is lower than the
actual temperature (skin too warm), the air temperature in
the incubator is decreased.
The length of time during which there is a difference
between the set value and actual value of skin
temperature also has an influence on the control of air
temperature inside the incubator.

Using humidity control
Air temperature and relative air humidity are
interdependent. If the air temperature in the incubator is
changed, the incubator adjusts the output of the
humidifier to suit the changed temperature conditions so
that the relative air humidity required remains constant.
Up to 85 % relative humidity can be achieved.
Line A

care units.
(normal conditions: room temperature, 25 °C to 28 °C,

Supplying oxygen
Caution: physiological risks from oxygen
The air in the incubator should only be enriched with
oxygen if prescribed by a doctor. Oxygen enrichment
should be controlled on the basis of the arteriallymeasured oxygen partial pressure in the blood of the
patient. This is the only way in which both
hyperoxaemia (damage to the eyes) and hypoxaemia
(damage to the brain) can be prevented.
● Monitor O2 concentration in incubator.
Use O2 monitor, such as Dräger-Oxydig.

Cleaning/disinfecting/sterilizing
For users in the Federal Republic of Germany we recommend that only disinfectants on the current DGHM
(DGHM: German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology)
list of surface disinfectants are used.
For medical and hygienic reasons, disinfectants based on
quaternary compounds should be used.
Damage may occur to the material of the incubator, particularly to the sensetive covering parts (PMMA/plexiglass
and PC/polycarbonate), if preparations are used which
are based on
– chlorine-releasing compounds
– organic and inorganic acids
– alcohols.
With regard to material compatibility we recommend the
following surface disinfectants:
Demykosan AF Messrs. Bayrol, Munich
IncidurMessrs. Henkel, Düsseldorf
Sekusept Powder Messrs. Henkel, Düsseldorf
Follow manufacturer's instructions.
A precondition for using non-recommended disinfectants
is that the manufacturer can prove material compatibility
with PMMA and PC.

Description
Design
The heated and humidified air flows over the entire front
face into the canopy. It is channelled over the front door,
along the roof of the canopy and then drawn down past
the back wall by means of an extraction system.
The baby lies in a still area with very little air flow. Heat
loss is minimal.
When the hand ports are open, there is still an effective
hot air curtain which minimises cooling inside the
incubator.
The mattress is made of soft foam plastic encased in film,
which gives a very low heat loss.
Description
Design
Humidity
The incubator air is humidified hygienically by the
evaporation of water from a water supply.
Humidity can be set manually according to a 1 to 10
scale. Humidity control off = 0.
Safety features
When it is switched on, the incubator carries out a selftest to check all memories in the microprocessor control
system and to establish that the various program
segments are running correctly.
Actuators, acknowledgement signals and displays are
switched on and then off to check that they are
functioning correctly. This test is also repeated every
10 minutes during operation. All modules installed in the
incubator are tested. An Error message may be given for
a faulty module, even if it is switched off.
The heating is switched off if operating conditions are
outside permitted limits.
An additional cooling fan provides effective cooling as
soon as the actual value of the air temperature exceeds
the set value.

Description
Alarm hierarchy
Alarm hierarchy
The incubator has a hierarchical system of alarms.
Any faults which occur are signalled in order of
importance. If a non-essential function fails, the functions
which are of vital importance remain in operation.
Continuous tone
cannot be suppressed, for faults which entail the greatest
potential danger:
– Malfunction of incubator or module
– Mains failure
– "Air temperature sensor" alarm
– "Fan failure" alarm.
Intermittent tone
can be suppressed for 10 minutes, for faults which entail
a less serious potential danger:
– Deviations from set values
– Air temperature too high
– Water shortage.
– Faulty skin temperature sensor or sensor plug
disconnected
In addition, the relevant alarm LEDs flash.
Each different alarm is shown by the central alarm LED.
If another alarm occurs when the alarm sound has
already been suppressed, the sound is automatically
re-activated. Depending on what the fault is, this alarm
sound may also be suppressed. The period before the
first alarm tone is automatically switched on again is then
prolonged by the time of the interval between the two
alarms.
Ergonomics
The hand ports are oval in shape to allow optimum
freedom of movement with low cross-section.
The incubator has rotating castors so that it can be
moved around easily. Two of the castors can be locked in
position, if necessary.
Ancillary equipment can be attached to the side rails.
A swivel cupboard (optional) is provided for storage
purposes.
Hygiene
All parts of the incubator which come into contact with
the gas breathed by the baby can be removed from the
basic unit for disinfecting.
