Caution: physiological risks from oxygen
The air in the incubator should only be enriched with
oxygen if prescribed by a doctor. Oxygen enrichment
should be controlled on the basis of the arterially-
measured oxygen partial pressure in the blood of the
patient. This is the only way in which both
hyperoxaemia (damage to the eyes) and hypoxaemia
(damage to the brain) can be prevented.
• Monitor 02 concentration in incubator.
Use 02 monitor, such as Drager-Oxydig.
Preparation, p. 12.
• Supply oxygen from a medical gas pipeline system via
an 02 flowmeter - push probe in fully.
• Preparation, p. 12.
• When concentration required is reached, switch off
02 supply at flowmeter.

Using oxygen limiter
• Preparation, p. 12.
The handwheel of the 02 limiter has 2 settings.
Red setting: no limitation of 02 supply.
White setting: 02 supply limited to 6 L/min =
02 concentration about 40 vol.%,
with 02 flow valve fully open.
If a lower 02 concentration is required,
set 02 supply to less than 6 L/min.
• Set handwheel as required.
