Operating the Mattress Platform6-1.
When the Weight Monitor Unit for Infa Warmer i (option) is connected, be careful not to pull the cable
by force in tilting the mattress platform. After returning the mattress platform to its former position,
make sure that the cable is not caught in the mattress platform or in any gap.
When tilting the mattress platform, be sure to pull up the baby guards and make sure that they are
locked securely. If you tilt the mattress platform with the baby guards folded down, the infant may
fall out.
When you pull up and lock the baby guards in position, be sure to check that no mattress or linen is
caught between any of the baby guards and the mattress platform. Make sure that the baby guards
are locked securely. If linen or other object is caught between any of the baby guards and the mat-
tress platform, remove it. Otherwise, the baby guards will not be locked completely. The baby guards
may swing down and the infant may fall out of the unit and suffer serious or fatal injury.
Do not place any infant or object weighing over 10 kg on the mattress platform.
Do not apply more force than is necessary to the mattress platform.
Bear in mind that the amount of radiant heat that reaches the mattress surface varies depending
on whether the mattress platform is horizontal or tilted.
When tilting the mattress platform, make sure that the cables attached to the patient are long
enough.
When tilting the mattress platform, make sure that no probes or tubes are caught.
The mattress platform can be tilted up to ±13° to raise
the head end or the foot end.
