[6] Setting the Incubator Temperature and Placing the
Infant in the Incubator
6-1.
Setting the Incubator Temperature
Be sure to set the incubator temperature according to orders from a doctor.
Practice and master the operation procedure before placing the infant in the incubator, and
conduct temperature tests while the unit is empty to check that it operates normally.
While the infant is in the incubator, check the heater output, incubator temperature, oxygen
concentration, and the like, and constantly monitor the infant for abnormalities.
Check that the air inlets and outlets are not covered or blocked with obstacles such as diapers
or gauze.
Failure to do so will prevent correct control of the incubator temperature and may affect the in-
fant's skin temperature or damage the main body. (see p.45)
