the Incubator 8000 IC / SC / NC
A special airflow system has been developed for the Incubator 8000 series. This system routes
heated air between the double walls on the entire front (hinged front door), over the roof of the
canopy and then draws it down again between the double walls at the rear by means of an
extraction system. Thus the baby lies in an area with very low airflow so that heat loss by
convection is reduced. For the Incubator 8000 SC / NC the double walls at the sides and at the
rear are an option.
The all-round double wall design of the Incubator 8000 series canopy also reduces the loss of
body heat by radiation. When the hinged front door and the hand port doors are open, there is
still an effective hot air curtain which prevents appreciable cooling inside the canopy.
A new type of mattress gives very low heat loss by conduction through the bed, resulting in a
high level of comfort for the baby. It is made of a particularly soft foam plastic, smoothly
encased in film to provide an absolutely hygienic seal.
The incubator is equipped with easy-moving, swivelling castors which permit easy movement
around the hospital. Two of the castors can be locked. There are rails, which can also be used
as handles, on the sides for holding ancillary equipment.
The sensor housing which is located near the baby's head responds very rapidly to changes in
the environment inside the incubator and contributes to a very sensitive control system. The
housing contains the air temperature sensor, the optional oxygen sensor and the optional
relative humidity sensor. It also contains the connection point for the skin temperature sensor
on Incubator 8000 IC units without ThermoMonitoring.
