1 Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 - Quick instruction

Leave the system constantly switched on - to be ready for instant use!

Refer to the Users manual whenever in doubt.

Filling the Water Mattress

• Fill the Water Mattress with warm water (about 350C). Fill to the Max H2O level mark +1- 2 cm. Check by holding

the Water Mattress upright. Add Kanmed Clean Water Tablets.

• Write the expiry date on the Water Mattress. (one year forward)

• There must be no air in the Water Mattress. Place the Water Mattress on a flat surface. Grip the open mattress hole

to lift the mattress and press all air bubbles out. Lower the hole and close it properly.

• Check the Water Mattress daily for leaks.

Using the Kanmed Gel Mattress

• If the Gel Mattress mode is selected, note that the heat transfer is less than that of water. Also note that the actual

Gel surface temperature may vary from the displayed temperature setting.

Inserting the Heating Pad and selected mattress into the Kanmed Baby Nest

• Place the selected mattress upside down on a flat surface. Insert the Heating Pad in the pocket with its printed text

towards the mattress. Turn the mattress over again.

• Insert the mattress with Heating Pad into the Nest pocket. Use the opening in the head end of the Nest to assist in

fitting the Nest to the mattress.

• You can use the BW3 without the Kanmed Baby Nest but it simplifies the positioning of the baby.

Preparing the bed

• Ensure that the bed has drain-holes in the bottom (when the Water Mattress is used).

• Place the BabyWarmer nest package on the bed mattress.

• Protect the Nest with a sheet that is soft but not thick.

Connecting the Control Unit

• Connect the mains power cable at the bottom of the Control Unit and hang it over the small hook.

• Connect the Heating Pad at the back of the Control Unit. Be gentle, and fit the connector the correct way. Tighten

the connector screws gently.

• Place and secure the Control Unit in a safe place where the display can be clearly seen.

• Press the start button on the front panel and observe that the self test performs correctly.

• During the self test, check that the correct mattress mode (H2O or GEL) is set. Change mode if required.

Placing the baby

• Only when the desired temperature is reached (green smiley-indication), should you place the baby on the

mattress.

• Position the lightly dressed baby (nappy, long arm T-shirt, bare legs (and a cap on very small ones)) on its back in

the Nest. Other positions are subject to approval from authorised staff and local protocols.

• Adjust the Nest size by pulling the string. Hide the string under the mattress.

• Cover the baby with suitable cover, such as 1-3 layers of soft cotton blankets.

Temperature setting

• All babies are individuals and their temperature must be controlled frequently until you are familiar with the baby’s

reaction to the set temperature. Overheating is often caused by covering the baby too much.

• When the Water Mattress is used, 370C- 37,50C is a good starting temperature for slightly hypothermic babies and

for babies weighing about 1000g.

• 36.50C - 370C is the most common temperature for babies weighing more than 1200g

• As the baby’s weight increases, the temperature is primarily controlled by changing the number of blankets that

cover the baby and secondly by changing the set temperature.

• When the lightly dressed and covered baby is maintaining body temperature with a Water Mattress temperature of

about 35.5 - 360C, then the baby is probably ready for a standard cot that has no additional warming.

• If the Gel Mattress is being used, try setting the temperature to 37-380C in order to compensate for the heat loss in

the Gel Mattress. Otherwise the same operating instructions apply, but beware of the reduced warming efficiency of the Gel Mattress. Connecting a skin type temp sensor to the unit may be helpful in obtaining the right temperature.

Maintenance

• Wash the re-usable Kanmed Nest at maximum 900C. Preferably 600C. Tumble dry it. Kanmed recommends changing

the Baby Nest once a year.

• Disinfect the surface of the Mattress, the Control Unit, Gel Mattress and the Heating Pad.

• Check the water level in the Water Mattress frequently and remove any air. Replace the Water Mattress once a

year.

• See the user’s manual for further maintenance instructions and periodical safety checks.

2 Safety Instructions

Please study this manual thoroughly and you will find the Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 to be both safe and easy to use.

Intended use

The intended use of the Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 is to keep newborn and premature babies normothermic. Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 is designed for hospital use only. It must be used according to the instructions in the manual and according to established clinical routines and by qualified personnel.

Essential Performance

The automatic system supervision will safeguard any malfunction that may have influence on the performance of the system. If used according to this instruction manual, and if the warning information is considered, no unacceptable patient risks should occur. However, always monitor the patient's vital signs and adapt the use after the patient's actual requirements.

Warning

• Proper Use. To ensure optimal performance and to prevent incorrect use, the user manual must be

read completely before the system is being used. Only use genuine Kanmed BabyWarmer parts together with the BW3 control unit.

• System Malfunction. If the BabyWarmer BW3 self test does not perform correctly or the system

displays an alarm or error message, or the Control Unit has been dropped, received mechanical damage etc., it must be examined by a qualified technician before being used. If it is suspected that the BabyWarmer BW3 is not operating properly, immediately consult a qualified technician for advice and do not use it.

• Never use the BabyWarmer BW3 without a Kanmed Water or Gel Mattress!

• Electrical Hazard The system must always be connected to a mains power outlet with proper

protective grounding. Always remove the mains power cable before cleaning the Control Unit.

• Body temperature. The temperature monitor is intended for added safety purposes only, please use

a dedicated hospital grade precision thermometer, and a method in accordance to hospital procedures for precise measurements of the patient’s actual body temperature.

• Never place a baby face down on the Kanmed Mattresses or in the BabyWarmer Nest unless this is

ordered by responsible staff.

• A cold mattress, or a mattress which is cooling down due to the heating being switched off, will

decrease the body temperature of the baby. Likewise, a too warm mattress can induce fever.

• Trans dermal medications (patches) can increase drug delivery, resulting in possible harm to patient

when used with warming devices.

Caution

• Check the Water Mattress daily for leaks.

• Be aware that the acoustic alarm has a reduced sound level of 55dBA (adapted for use in silent

environments, e.g. a neonatal ward).

• Always fill the Water Mattress to the required level before the unit is brought into use. Preferably fill

with lukewarm water at around 350C.

• Replace the Water Mattress periodically as indicated on the Water Mattress (after about 12 months of

use).

• Don't fold or bend the Heating Pad sharply, don't pull the Heating Pad cable or use it for carrying the

Heating Pad.

• Make sure that the text side of the Heating Pad is facing the Mattress.

• Make sure that there are at least 2 drain holes in the bottom of the bed if using the Water Mattress.

• Make sure that the adjusting string is placed outside the Baby Nest to prevent it from interfering with

the baby.

• Check the temperature of the baby regularly. Check the mattress temperature regularly.

• Continue to use appropriate monitoring of vital signs.

• Before first use, please clean everything according to your standard hospital routines and to

instructions in the user manual. Always wash a new re-usable Baby Nest before first use.

• Please note that the control unit BW3 shall be placed standing on a flat surface, or mounted with the

front end up, having the display clearly visible.

• The BW3 may not be interfaced with any other electrical system. If this is done a new “system” is

created per definition, and the safety classification of the BW3 may be effected. Please be aware that use of HF surgical instruments or similar devices may interfere with the BW3 and may require special precautions regarding potential equalization etc.

• The Kanmed Gel Mattress may not be used without its integrated aluminium-plate.

The Heating Pad, BW3-003

The Heating Pad consists of an electric element with four integrated temperature sensors. The design and construction of the Heating Pad has reduced the magnetic and electrical fields to normal background levels and thereby making them harmless. The Heating Pad voltage is 24V DC. See technical data for information about warming up times.

Location of the integrated temperature sensors.

T1 and T3: temperature of the Mattress

T2 and T4: temperature of the Heating element

Explanation of the markings on the Heating Pad

1. Read the manual!

2. Always use a Kanmed Water (H2O)

or Gel (//////) Mattress.

Never place a baby directly on the Heating Pad!

3. The Heating Pad must be inserted in the pocket under the Mattress. (This is best done if the Mattress is placed upside down on a flat surface).

The Water Mattress

When filled to the level mark a standard Water Mattress contains about 4.5 litres of water. Always add Kanmed Clean Water Tablets when the Water Mattress is filled. One Tablet per litre of water. The water level should be checked frequently and water must be added if required. Big air bubbles must be removed. When used for the first time, please write the date of expiry in the box (one year into the future).

Explanation of the markings on the Water Mattress

1. Instructions for Kanmed Water Mattresses

Fill with tap water up to the MAX indication line + 1-2cm. Maximum water temperature 40. Add Kanmed clean water tablets when the water mattress is filled. One tablet per litre. Change water when the water is below the MIN level line and add Kanmed Clean Water Tablets.

User Manual BW3-070/4

2. Remove air bubbles, very important! Place the Water Mattress on a flat surface and lift the filling hole properly upwards. (20cm.) Press the air bubbles towards the filling hole repeatedly until all major air bubbles are expelled while at she same time lowering the filling hole. Fit the screw cork firmly. Check for major air bubbles on a regular basis.

3. Turn the Water Mattress upside down and insert the Heating Pad in the pocket with the markings facing the Water Mattress. The Water Mattress and the Heating Pad is inserted into the Kanmed Baby Nest.

4. Check the Water Mattress daily for leaks

The Gel Mattress

A Kanmed Gel Mattress may be used as an alternative to the standard Water Mattress. Please observe that when a Gel Mattress is used, the heating capacity of the Kanmed BabyWarmer system is reduced (compared to water). The indicated temperature is an estimated temperature value and may differ from actual spot temperature readings on the Gel Mattress surface. In GEL-mode there is a 2,0° C offset added to the Heating Pad temperature (compared to the set temperature) to compensate for the lesser heat conductivity of the Gel Mattress.

• There is no special procedure for shutting off the Control Unit, just press the ON/OFF button more than

2sec.

6 Mattress selection, Adjustments and Areas of use

Kanmed Water Mattress

Suitable for all babies until very little warming is needed. The Water Mattress is superior in conducting warmth to the baby thereby ensuring optimal weight gain. It should therefore be the first choice. The warm soft Water Mattress has a calming and relaxing effect on the baby and ensures better sleep quality. Its softness prevents skin damage and many customers reports that it helps to form a nice shape of the babies head. The Water Mattress is also a heat buffer and will only loose about 1,5°C per hour in case of power interruption

Kanmed (special soft pebble surfaced) Gel Mattress

The Kanmed Gel Mattress is for new born or near full term babies in need of some additional warming. The heat conduction is not as good as water. It is not as soft as the Water Mattress. Therefore attention shall be paid to the baby’s temperature and to its weight gain. Note: The Gel Mattress must not be used without the integrated aluminium plate. Only Kanmed Gel Mattress will function with the BW3 Warning: If the Gel Mattress is covered with several layers of material, to make the bed softer, then the heat transfer will be greatly reduced - which in turn may reduce the warming efficiency therefore probably affecting the baby's weight gain.

Placing the baby

• Only when the desired set temperature is reached (indicated by a green smiley), you should place the

baby in the Nest.

• Position the lightly dressed baby (nappy, long arm T-shirt, bare legs and a cap on very small ones) on

its back (unless otherwise prescribed by responsible medical staff) in the Nest.

• Adjust the Nest size by pulling the string. Hide the cord under the mattress.

• Cover the baby with suitable cover, such as 1-3 layers of suitable blankets.

User Manual BW3-070/4

Page 16 of 28

Temperature setting

• All babies are individuals and their temperature must be controlled frequently until you are familiar

with the baby’s reaction to the set temperature. Overheating is often caused by covering the baby too

much.

• When the Water Mattress is used, 37-37,50C is a good starting temperature for slightly hypothermic

babies and for babies weighing about 1000g.

• 36.50C - 370C is the most common temperature for babies weighing more than 1200g

• As the baby’s weight increases, the temperature is primarily controlled by changing the amount of

blankets that cover the baby and secondly by changing the set temperature.

• When the lightly dressed and covered baby is maintaining body temperature with a Water Mattress

temperature of about 35.5 - 360C, then the baby is most often ready for a standard cot that has no warming.

• If the Gel Mattress is being used, try setting the temperature to 37-380C in order to compensate for

the heat loss in the Gel Mattress. Otherwise the same operating instructions apply, but beware of the reduced warming efficiency of the Gel Mattress. Connecting a skin type temp sensor to the unit may be helpful in obtaining the right temperature

Neonatal intensive care units, Level II units, Intermediate care units, Step down units, etc.

In the neonatal care the Kanmed BabyWarmer with the Water Mattress is used to ensure an optimal warming of all babies, from 800 g and up 3000g or until the baby gets too warm. Optimal warming also ensures optimal growth rate. Kanmed BabyWarmer can replace the incubator when the baby is mainly in need of the warming. Vital signs monitoring, oxygen support or CPAP can easily be continued on the Kanmed BabyWarmer and the Kanmed Baby Bed The Kanmed BabyWarmer with Water Mattress can also be used inside an incubator to help obtain correct and stable body temperature, especially in older single wall units and on “modern” units where the whole top goes up. NOTE : Using the Kanmed BabyWarmer inside an incubator is the sole responsibility of the hospital. The function and temperature regulation of the Kanmed BabyWarmer is not influenced by the incubator.

Delivery Wards

Kanmed BW3 can be used to warm children that for different reasons have lost heat post delivery. Kanmed BW3 is also perfect for keeping newborn babies warm until the mother is able to / wants to warm the baby herself. Try the Water Mattress for children in need of a soft warm support, for instance children suffering from hydrocephalus, fractures, pain after delivery with a forceps or a suction device, colicky pains, etc. In rooms with low temperatures the Kanmed BabyWarmer will help keeping the baby warm.. If only modest heating is needed then the Gel Mattress is and ideal alternative to the Water Mattress.

Maternity Wards Low birth weight or premature babies that do not need all the resources of an intensive care department but need support to stay warm can thanks to the Kanmed BW3 be kept with the mother in the ward. Babies with a weight between 1800gram and 2500 gram, born around pregnancy week 35 - 38, are often not capable of maintaining a normal body temperature during their first days after birth. The Kanmed BabyWarmer keeps them at normal body temperature and assists them to stay with their mothers. Unsettled, stressed and screaming babies can often find a soothing and relaxing environment on the warm Water Mattress thereby relieving the staff and the parents. The Gel Mattress can also be used but be aware of the limited warming capacity compared to the Water Mattress.

NIDCAP, Developmental Care and Kangaroo care

In these treatment modalities the sleeping, rest and positioning of the baby plays an essential role. The warm soft Water Mattress resembles the warmth of a mother’s skin therefore making the Kanmed BabyWarmer the ideal tool to ensure quality sleep.

Photo therapy

Kanmed BabyWarmer is well suited for Photo therapy using an overhead lamp, and especially for new blue LED lights that does not radiate any heat. Using the Kanmed Gel Pad is a practical option if the warming capacity is considered enough – otherwise choose the Water Mattress.

Transport of babies inside the hospital using the Water Mattress

If the child is normally covered and in a standard cot, the Water Mattress temperature will only drop about

1.50 C per hour when the power is disconnected and under normal temperature conditions. Please note: A Gel Mattress cools of much faster (>50 C / h).

Temperature Check

To perform the temperature check a precision thermometer preferably with a skin type sensor is needed. The built in temperature monitor with an YSI400 type sensor (having an specified accuracy better than ±0,2°C) may be used.

Note: In this procedure the standard type Kanmed Water Mattress must be used.

• Make up the bed as for normal use and place the temperature sensor in the centre on top of, and

fixed in direct contact with the Water Mattress (e.g. using a surgical tape or similar). Cover the sensor with some insulating material. Check that there is no air in the Water Mattress.

• Set the temperature to 37 OC and allow the system to settle temperature in steady state (note, this

may take several hours).

• Check that the precision thermometer (or the built in temperature monitor) and the Control Unit

displays the same reading, allowed difference ± 0.7OC.

8 Alarm functions, indication and actions

Temperature monitor alerts

These alerts relates to the built in temperature monitor, and does not effect the function of the BabyWarmer. The temperature monitor is only activated when an YSI400 compatible temperature sensor is connected. If a temperature monitor alarm condition is detected, the alarm is activated, indicated on the display by a flashing thermometer icon, audio signal and the yellow LED. After pressing the alarm button, the alarm will be silenced for 2 minutes. If the alarm condition remains, the alarm will return.

Indication

Description / Operator action

(FLASHING)

High temperature. The measured sensor temperature is higher than the

set high alarm limit

Action: Check the settings and the patient's actual body temperature. Remember that the Water Mattress cools slowly.

Temperature OK! (Normally displayed). The measured sensor temperature is in between the High- and Low alarm limits.

(FLASHING)

Low temperature. The measured sensor temperature is lower than the

set low alarm limit. Action: Check that the temperature sensor is properly applied to the patient. Check that the BabyWarmer system is working in a correct way, and that right temperature settings are used. If the sensor temperature is rising, but not yet reached up to the Low alarm level, the indicator indicates blue but not flashing (no alarm condition!).

Quick indications

Informative system messages only, the system will continue operation as normal. The colour of the face icon depends on a combination of the mattress temperature and the YSI400 temperature sensor.

Indication

Description / Operator action

Excess heat / Slow cooling / High temp alarm. The mattress has a higher

temperature than the set value or the temperature monitor YSI400 sensor is warmer than the Hi temp alarm level Action: Will normally occur after the set value has been reduced from a higher value. The settings should always be checked, and if found necessary, the patient may be temporary removed (and cooled down).

Within limits! Set temperature has been reached and the temperature monitor is within the alarm levels (if a sensor is connected). The system is ready for use provided that a correct set temperature has been chosen.

Low heat / Slow heating / Low temp alarm. The mattress has not reached the set temperature or the temperature monitor YSI400 sensor is colder than the Lo temp alarm level (if a sensor is connected). Will normally occur when a cold start is being performed. Action: Check the temperature monitor sensor. All settings should be checked. If a cold start has been performed, the patient should not be placed on the mattress before the indication has turned green.

High mattress temperature. The calculated temperature is more than 0,8°C warmer than the set value. The mattress temperature is displayed in the icon.

Within limits! The calculated temperature is within ±0,8°C of the set value.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 system, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance

d = 1,17 √ P

d = 1,17 √ P 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2,33 √ P 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m).

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey*, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range**

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with

the following symbol:

Note 1:

At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

Note 2:

These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

* Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To access the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Kanmed BabyWarmer BW3 system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the BW3. ** Over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strength should be less than 3 V/m.
