Precautions During Infant Care
Canopy
The canopy must not be used as a shelf for placing clothing,
instruments etc..
Do not hang any objects from the hooks for the double walls.
Before moving the canopy, make sure that nothing has been
laid on top of it.
When fitting and removing the incubator hood canopy, hold it
firmly in your hand.
The canopy installation catch must engage correctly.
Do not try to lift the canopy when catch is engaged.
Do not tilt the canopy forwards.
When closed, make sure that the canopy sits firmly in place!
Control unit
Position the control unit so that its screen is clearly visible from
the working area.
Do not mechanically load the cable by, for example, hanging
items from it.
If the control unit is mounted on the handle side, never remove
the cable from the cable guides on the basic pole.
Do not place any liquid containers above the control unit.
Kangaroo Mode
When using phototherapy
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 169).
Always observe maximum loads to avoid danger of unit
tipping over.
WARNING !
When using Kangaroo Mode, central temperature of the
infant, who is outside the controlled climate of the
incubator, must be monitored constantly.
Particular attention must be paid to critical care patients’
vital parameters, especially a critical O
2 partial pressure.
Ensure that all cables and hoses are routed correctly and
safely.
WARNING !
Infant temperature must be monitored with particular
care during phototherapy. Absorption of light through
the infant's skin will supply heat to the patient which may
increase central temperature.
Tilting/height adjustment
For this reason:
– Decrease temperature setting for incubator air by
approximately 2
o
C at least 15 minutes before starting
phototherapy.
– Lower humidity setpoint.
– Room temperature must be at least 3
o
C lower than the
Caleo air temperature.
This value applies for Dräger Model 4000 phototherapy
units.
– The temperature of the incubator air may rise even more
noticeably when using other phototherapy units, especially
units without built-in fan.
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 !
During phototherapy, the supply of fluids to the infant
must be increased, e.g. by parenteral infusion, to
compensate for the increased water loss.
WARNING !
Never cover phototherapy lamp or incubator canopy with
the intention to boost the phototherapeutic effect. A heat
build-up will likely result with the danger of overheating
the infant, because the incubator cannot be adequately
cooled with ambient air under these conditions.
WARNING !
Always use eye protection for the infant when using
phototherapy.
WARNING !
Ensure that the ventilator circuit and all other cables,
hoses and tubing are routed correctly and safely.
Danger of extubation and disconnection!
Hoses and/or cables are at risk of being trapped when
tilting the Caleo, adjusting the height, and when opening
and closing the front door.
