Operating Principle
Inside the Caleo patient "capsule" (Caleo Calmcapsule
™
),
premature and sick infants are supplied with a controlled
amount of heat and, if necessary, humidity
*
and oxygen*.
The user/operator can adjust the incubator climate to suit the
needs of the infant, by adjusting air temperature, relative
humidity* and oxygen content*. Since the patient capsule acts
as a specially protected zone for the infant, the ambient air is
filtered before it enters the interior of the incubator.
Accessibility
Caleo provides excellent accessibility to the infant for all
regular and intensive care activities: for this purpose, the four
access ports (two on each longitudinal side) have been
designed with especially large dimensions
(Caleo JumboPorts
™
).
The two large access doors can be completely folded down.
In addition, two smaller side doors at the head and foot ends of
the patient bed can be folded down. If necessary, the hood
canopy can also be propped up from two different sides or can
be fully removed in an emergency – in order to provide free
accessibility to the infant from above.
A total of ten generously dimensioned access grommets
ensure clear organization and routing of hoses and cables into
the incubator. Each corner features two such grommets, which
can be easily removed, especially during "kangaroo care"
(when the infant rests in direct skin contact on the mother's or
father's chest). This ensures easily manageable cable and
hose routing even when the infant is outside the patient
capsule. Two additional large tubing ports are located in the
side doors at the head and foot end. In addition, the hood
canopy contains a hole, e.g. for feeding the infant.
The four U-grommets in each corner segment of the incubator
hood allow HFV tubing to be inserted, therefore allowing the
treatment of infants with a high frequency ventilator while in the
incubator without compromising the microenvironment
(temperature, humidity, oxygen, noise level).
