Operating Precautions
11
PLEASE READ WITHOUT
FAIL
Be sure to inspect the unit at the start of each day.
Operating the unit without inspecting it at the start of each day may let a defect pass unnoticed and cause a
potentially unfavorable outcome.
The doctor is responsible for making a decision on transporting a premature infant. Watch
the infant continuously during transport.
Transporting a premature infant is associated with a risk of intracerebral hemorrhage due to jolting during trans-
port.
Check for conformity to the applicable standard if the unit is going to be connected to an-
other medical device for use as a system.
Accessory equipment connected to the analogue and digital interfaces must comply with the relevant IEC stan-
dards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing equipment). Furthermore all configurations should comply with IEC
60601-1-1. But the items that are not specified as part of the system should not be connected. Anybody who
connects additional equipment to the signal input or signal output configures a medical system, and therefore
should make the medical system comply with the requirements of 60601-1-1 on his or her own responsibility. If in
doubt, consult your local Atom representative.
1-3. CAUTION
Injury or damage to surrounding objects may result if the instructions given below are not followed.
Be sure to clean and disinfect the unit before using it for the first time after purchase.
The unit is shipped without being disinfected.
During standby, be sure to always preheat the unit in order to keep the incubator air tem-
perature stable.
Place the infant in the incubator only after the incubator air temperature has stabilized.
When feeding the cords and tubes into the unit, be very careful not to let them wind or
tighten around the patient.
Do not twist or pull the cords by force.
If any defect should be found, ask an expert for repair without attempting to repair it yourself.
Remove the power plug from the power outlet before moving the unit to another place or
when the unit is not going to be used for a long time.
Moving the unit to another place with the power plug connected to the power outlet will damage the power cord
and may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Remove the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning and disinfecting the unit.
Cleaning and disinfecting the unit with the power plug connected to the power outlet may cause an electric shock.
Install the unit on a stable surface.
Installing the unit on an unstable platform or a tilted surface will cause it to fall or drop and may injure someone.
Therefore, before installing the unit, make sure that the place where the unit is to be installed is stable and strong
enough to support the weight of the unit.
