Operating Instructions Caleo, Software 2.n
WARNING !
Risk of burns upon contact with the heater.
Allow Caleo to cool down before further disassembly.
WARNING !
The incubator is ready for operation only when all
checks have been carried out successfully.
WARNING !
Always ensure that both knobs of the large access doors
are engaged in position in order to avoid any risk of an
infant falling out of an incubator.
The red catch behind each knob must no longer be
visible!
WARNING !
The attached double wall must be positioned parallel to
the front door otherwise the ducted flow of warm air will
be interrupted!
WARNING !
Always ensure that both knobs of the side doors are
engaged in position in order to avoid any risk of an infant
falling out of an incubator.
The red catch behind each knob must no longer be
visible!
WARNING !
Always ensure that the bed is pushed all the way in!
Otherwise the ducted flow of warm air will be interrupted,
and the infant may be warmed or cooled excessively.
CAUTION !
Even accessories designed to be reused after cleaning have
a limited life. For example, due to a number of factors
connected with handling and preparation, disinfectant
residues can attack the material more intensely during
autoclaving; increased wear can occur and service life can be
markedly shortened. Accordingly, these parts and
accessories must be replaced when any external signs of
wear – such as cracks, deformation, discoloration, peeling,
etc., – become apparant.
Precautions During Maintenance
CAUTION !
Certain components of the Caleo incubator consist of
materials that are sensitive to certain organic solvents
sometimes used for cleaning and disinfecting (e.g., alcohols,
phenols, halogen releasing compounds, oxygen releasing
compounds, strong organic acids, etc.). Exposure to such
substances may cause damage that is not always
immediately recognized. Sterilization of the incubator or
components with ethylene oxide (EtO) or disinfection with
formaldehyde is also not recommended.
CAUTION !
U-grommets cannot be autoclaved at 134
o
C (273
o
F).
CAUTION !
Take care not to damage the sensor unit when removing
patient bed.
CAUTION !
Do not allow any moisture to enter the sensor unit.
Do not disinfect sensor unit by immersion or spraying.
Sensor damage may result.
CAUTION !
Do not allow any moisture to enter the control unit.
Do not disinfect control unit by immersion or spraying.
Equipment damage may result.
CAUTION !
Ensure that only recommended cleaning agents and
disinfectants are used!
The acrylic and Makrolon material may develop stress cracks
if other agents, such as alcohol, are used.
Do not use UV radiation on the incubator. This also may
cause cracks in the acrylic parts.
WARNING !
To avoid any risk of infection, clean and disinfect
incubator and accessories before any maintenance
according to established hospital procedures – this
applies also when returning units or parts for repair.
