Important Safety Information

Operating Instructions Caleo, Software 2.n
WARNING !
Always verify that temperature sensors are specified and
approved for use with Dräger Caleo.
Disposable sensors must not be cleaned for re-use.
If used more than once, the necessary measurement
precision cannot be guaranteed.
WARNING !
Do not use skin temperature sensor (yellow) or
peripheral temperature sensor (white) to measure rectal
(central) temperature!
Do not locate sensor under the infant, otherwise
measurement and control would be performed with
reference to infant central temperature instead of skin
temperature.
WARNING !
Regularly check that skin temperature sensor is properly
attached to the infant's skin! A skin temperature probe
that has fallen off would be measuring air temperature
with a risk of overheating the infant (although the air
temperature would not rise above 39
o
C).
WARNING !
When the extended setpoint range for skin temperature
is used, particular care must be taken to monitor infant
temperature.
WARNING !
As long as 3 dashes remain on screen while the
incubator is operated in skin temperature control mode,
Caleo will not heat. Infant may become hypothermic.
WARNING !
Always keep in mind the physiological risks and fire
hazards associated with the use of high O
2 concentra-
tions.
Precautions During Care
CAUTION !
When fitting accessories, please note:
z The accessory equipment must not collide with the unit
when adjusting the tilt angle and height of Caleo.
z The accessory equipment on the handle side will not move
with the main unit during height adjustment of Caleo
(page 170).
Always observe maximum loads to avoid danger of unit
tipping over.
CAUTION !
Use caution when moving the incubator over uneven
surfaces, e.g. rough pavement outside the hospital or into an
elevator, as castors may become damaged or dislodged.
CAUTION !
Never cover the sensor unit or hang anything from the open-
ings in the sensor unit. Keep these openings free from dirt.
CAUTION !
Only use phototherapy units supplied with their own stand.
Do not place phototherapy devices directly on Caleo canopy,
as they may slip when the bed tilt is activated.
WARNING !
Always follow accepted hospital procedures for handling
equipment contaminated with body fluids.
WARNING !
Always disconnect power supply before cleaning and
disinfecting.
WARNING !
Risk of burns from heater!
When the incubator is closed, the heater is still hot
enough to inflict serious burns for a long time after
switching off (70
o
C = 158
o
F after 1 hour).
WARNING !
Always disconnect all supplies before disassembly.
