Drawing out the Mattress Platform
Before drawing out the mattress platform, check that the mattress platform stopper has en-
gaged the rail. If it has not engaged, the mattress platform will come off, posing a risk of injury.
When drawing out the mattress platform with the infant on it, be careful not to get the patient
circuit pulled out or pulled by force.
Open the admittance panel and draw out the mattress
platform toward you. When the mattress platform is
drawn out to a certain point, the stopper will function.

Skin Temperature Monitoring
The probe used for skin temperature monitoring cannot distinguish between changes in skin tem-
perature and changes in core temperature. Monitor the patient's temperature during skin tempera-
ture monitoring
.
To monitor the skin temperature of the infant placed in the incubator, attach a skin temperature probe to the
infant.
(1) Insert the cable plug of the skin temperature probe
firmly into the skin temperature probe connection
port on the left side of the main body.
