Giraffe OmniBed

The Giraffe family: shared features for healthy
newborn development

The following features were designed to be intuitive and are the same on
all Giraffe beds – providing continuity across the product platform which
makes it easier for the user to learn and use multiple products and reduces
staff training time.

The patented Baby Susan rotating mattress minimizes unnecessary baby
stimulation. It rotates 360° and can slide out of the microenvironment to
facilitate proper positioning for all types of procedures without disturbing
the infant and promote parental bonding.

Layered, pressure-diffusing mattress provides a softer support surface
to help relieve pressure points and preserve skin integrity.

Large, drop down, removable doors and centralized control screen
placement provide quick and easy patient access from either side

of the bed.

Elevating base offers a broad adjustable range to ensure a comfortable
working height for procedures or family interaction.

Integrated scale allows quick and accurate assessment and trending
of baby’s growth and development.

Giraffe Warmer

Thermal and weight data trending helps facilitate clinical decision-making.

The Giraffe Shuttle

Our latest addition to the family –
it provides electrical power to any of
the Giraffe beds or Panda1 warmer,
enabling them to be used for intra­hospital transport.2 The Giraffe Shuttle
combined with the bed helps reduce

the potential for clinical problems that
can result from interrupted patient
thermoregulation, patient touch,
handling and movement – all of

which may challenge physiological
stability when moving babies to
and from a transport incubator.

The Giraffe Shuttle is not intended for use on Panda

IWS platform.

2

The Giraffe Shuttle is not intended for use outside of

the hospital building or in any area where fluctuation in
temperature, exposure to water, or other hazards may occur.

Giraffe OmniBed

The best of both worlds

A full-featured incubator and a radiant warmer
in one, there is just no other bed like this.

As an incubator, the Boost Air Curtain protects
the infant from heat loss when either door is
opened while the bi-directional airflow through
double walls maintains thermal stability.

As a radiant warmer, the infant receives
uniform heat regardless of position, without
warming the caregiver.

In either mode, the Giraffe OmniBed
combines advanced technology, exceptional
performance and innovative design to provide
an excellent developmentally-supportive,
family-centered, critical care environment
for your critically ill patients.
