Safety-related information
2.13 Thermal radiation and fire prevention
2.13.1 Radiant warmer
Thermal radiation from the radiant warmer may cause increased water loss, skin
burns, and eye damage in the patient.
► Do not leave the patient unattended during radiant warmer operation.
2.13.2 Fire prevention
Objects placed on the housing of the radiant warmer or on the protective grid may
melt or fall off, injuring the patient. There is a risk of fire.
► Do not place objects (e.g., towels) or combustible materials over the housing of
the radiant warmer or hang them in front of the protective grid.
► Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the radiant warmer and do not cover
them with combustible materials.
► In radiant warmer operation remove the hood cover and ensure a safety
clearance of 20 cm (8 in) between the top edge of the radiant warmer and the
ceiling.
Fig. 2 Radiant warmer protective grid
The radiant warmer may heat up objects in the beam path close to the radiant
warmer to such an extent that touching the objects causes burns. In addition, the
objects may ignite and cause a fire.
► Do not permanently locate objects (e.g., examination lights) in the beam path of
the radiant warmer.
► Allow the objects to cool down before touching, to avoid burns.
► Before pivoting accessories (e.g., examination lights) out of the beam path of the
radiant warmer, take precautions to prevent burns.
2.13.3 Additional heat sources
The temperature in the patient compartment may rise to dangerous levels due to
direct sunlight or other external heat sources (e.g., phototherapy devices). The
patient may become overheated.
► When additional heat sources (e.g., solar radiation, examination lights, or
phototherapy lights) are active, make sure that the temperature in the patient
compartment remains non-critical.
► Check the patient's body core temperature at regular intervals.
