DANGER
Death or serious injury, damage to equipment or a fire will result if the instructions given below are not fol-
lowed.
Monitor the infant’s skin temperature when operating the unit.
Be sure to keep the admittance panels and snap-open access ports closed while the unit
is in use.
Using the unit with the admittance panel or snap-open access port left open may cause the infant to fall out of
the baby compartment. Be sure to close the admittance panels and the snap-open access ports when adminis-
tering phototherapy to an infant.
Do not leave the unit unattended when any of the admittance panels or snap-open access
ports are open.
The infant may be in danger of falling.
Stop using the unit immediately and request repairs if you find any abnormalities, such as
a misaligned admittance panel or snap-open access port, or a loose press bar.
The admittance panel or snap-open access port may unexpectedly open, causing the infant to fall out of the
baby compartment.
When providing phototherapy to an infant in the incubator, watch for any increase in the in-
cubator air temperature.
Since a mature infant emits a lot of heat, the incubator air temperature may rise if you place the infant in the in-
cubator and perform phototherapy. The incubator air temperature may also rise if you use multiple photothera-
py units at the same time, or if the room temperature is high. In such a case, proceed with the phototherapy af-
ter placing the infant in a cot or an open-type incubator, as directed by the doctor.
Do not overtighten the disposable safety bands.
Doing so may harm the infant.
Any type of ignition source, such as a hand warmer, must be kept away from the incubator.
Hand warmers or other items that may catch fire, or devices that generate sparks may cause an explosion or a
fire if used near the unit when oxygen is being supplied.
Do not use the unit in the presence of a flammable anesthetic gas.
Otherwise, a fire or an explosion may result.
