Monitor the infant’s temperature continuously on
●
the skin temperature display. Pay special attention
to the fluctuations in the skin temperature.
If too much heat is supplied from the start, the

infant’s skin temperature may rise above a target
level. Servo control operation is recommended if
you want to maintain the infant’s skin temperature
at a desired level. Increase the heater output
gradually while monitoring the infant’s skin tem-
perature carefully. Avoid rapid heating.

condition. To continue to warm the infant at the same preselected heat level, press the reset switch.
Do not press the reset switch without checking the infant’s condition.
