Operating Precautions
9
PLEASE READ WITHOUT
FAIL
Ground the unit securely.
Otherwise, a leakage current may cause an electric shock. In order to complete the ground connection, connect
the power cord only to a properly grounded 3P power outlet including a ground terminal. Do not operate the unit
if you have any doubt about its ground connection.
Do not use a device generating high frequency near the unit.
To prevent malfunction of the unit due to jamming, do not use electric surgical knives, portable and mobile
communication equipment and other devices which generate high frequency near the unit during its operation.
Analyze arterial gas levels repeatedly when a high oxygen environment is required.
When the infant requires a high oxygen environment, it is extremely important and essential to periodically
analyze arterial gas levels in order to maintain the desired oxygen concentration in the incubator. Follow the
doctor’s instructions in measuring the oxygen concentration because ignoring essential requirements may in-
crease the risk of retinopathy of prematurity and other adverse effects.
Do not give a shock to the unit or let it hit anything.
The screws or fixed parts may become loose.
1-2. WARNING
Death or serious injury due to a fire or an electric shock will result if the instructions given below are not
followed.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the incubator air temperature or the
infant’s skin temperature.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the relative humidity in the incubator.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in supplying oxygen.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the oxygen concentration in the incuba-
tor.
Use only oxygen for medical use.
Be sure to bear in mind the following precautions during oxygen supply.
앫 Do not place a body warmer, a flashlight, oils and fats, or flammable vaporizable matters in the incubator.
앫 Use pure cotton for the infant’s clothing, bed sheets, etc. Do not use any material that is easily charged with
static electricity.
앫 Use pure cotton or fire-proof materials for the clothing of doctors, nurses and ambulance staff who handle this
unit.
Bear in mind the following precautions while using oxygen supply equipment.
앫 If oil, grease or a grease-like substance should get in contact with pressurized oxygen, a violent spontaneous
ignition may occur. Do not let such substances stick to the oxygen pressure regulator, the oxygen cylinder
valve, piping, connections and other parts of oxygen supply equipment.
앫 On a high-pressure oxygen cylinder, use only a tested pressure reducing valve or pressure regulating valve
indicated specifically for oxygen supply. Do not use such a valve for any gas other than air or oxygen. It is
dangerous to use a valve to supply a gas other than air or oxygen and then to supply oxygen again.
