Intended Use
Description
Intended Use
Babytherm 8000 WB is a heated bassinet intended as a
therapeutic device providing warmth for premature and
full-term neonates and infants with a weight up to 16 lbs.
Description
Mattress heating
The Babytherm 8000 WB 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 consists 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 that helps conducting heat to the patient and
avoids pressure points (anti-decubitus effect). A cold gel
mattress, on the other hand, dissipates patient 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.
Operating Instructions Babytherm 8000 WB
The control and monitoring unit is located under the
heating plate. The membrane keypad with its buttons and
displays faces the side most frequently accessed by
caregivers. Temperature is set by the user and adjusts in
such a way that the set temperature is just reached in
those areas where the patient contacts the mattress.
System monitoring includes check routines and alarm
features.
Features
With its ergonomic design including:
– foldable side panels for easy care.
– a tilting bed for Trendelenburg and
Reverse Trendelenburg position
and options such as:
– electric height adjustment
– swivel cabinet
– infusion bottle holder
it serves an important function during a patient's
transition from incubator to standard (unheated) bassinet.

WARNING !
Dräger, Inc. cannot warrant or endorse the safe
performance of third party radiant heaters for
use with the Babytherm 8000 WB. Specifically,
combinations with radiant warmers that are not
intended for use with heated bassinets bear
risks of excessive overall heat transfer to the patient.
We recommend contacting the manufacturers/
distributors of third party radiant heater units
regarding compliance of their product with
heated bassinets before attempting to use them
in conjunction with the Babytherm 8000 WB.
The following notes on settings of Babytherm
8000 WB in the presence of radiant heaters are
intended as guidelines only and cannot take into
consideration the specifics of individual radiant
heater designs.
WARNING !
Patient Temperature Monitoring
Core temperature of the baby must be
monitored particularly carefully during
phototherapy or while a radiant warmer is used
in conjunction with the Babytherm heated
bassinet.
Adjust temperature settings to individual patient
needs.
Skin temperature monitoring is no substitute for
core temperature checks since the two
parameters do not always closely correlate.
WARNING !
Phototherapy and the use of infant radiant
heater warmers does increase the insensible
water loss in infants. The baby's core
temperature must be monitored particularly
carefully during such treatments. The supply of
fluids to the baby must also increased in order to
compensate for increased water loss.

Cleaning / Disinfecting /
Sterilizing
Care
The Babytherm 8000 WB heated bassinet must be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each patient, or
at least once a week. Perform any disinfection
procedures according to established hospital procedures
as well as to the following additional instructions.
WARNING !
Always follow accepted hospital procedures for
handling equipment contaminated with body
fluids.
Before any cleaning procedures, the bassinet must first
be partially disassembled. For the cleaning and
disinfecting of accessories, see their respective
Operating Instructions.
Disassembly
●Switch off the device(s), pull power plug, and turn
off all pressurized oxygen and air if used.
WARNING !
Always disconnect power supply before
cleaning and disinfecting.
●Remove any ancillary patient care equipment from
unit.
Cleaning / Disinfecting / Sterilizing
CAUTION !
Certain components of the bassinet consist of materials that are sensitive to certain organic solvents
sometimes used for cleaning and disinfecting (e. g.,
alcohols, phenols, halogen releasing com-pounds,
oxygen releasing compounds, strong organic acids,
etc.). Exposure to such substances may cause
damage that is not always immediately recognized.
Sterilization of the bassinet itself with ethylene oxide
(EtO) is also not recommended.
To prevent any damage, we recommend that only detergents and disinfectants are used that are compatible
with the materials used in the bassinet and its components and accessories, e. g. surface disinfectants on
the basis of
–aldehydes, or
–quarternary ammonium compounds
for disinfection procedures
Ensure that all disinfectants are registered with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for use as intended.
Always follow the instruction labels specifically with
respect to prescribed concentrations and the necessary
exposure times.
●Remove mattress from bed.
Store the matress flat only.
CAUTION !
Do not fold gel mattress!
●Take off flexible U-grommets.
