Switching Between Air and Skin Temperature
Control
WARNING !
Do not use skin temperature control mode for infants in
shock, as their skin temperature is much lower than
normal. Skin temperature control would increase the
incubator air temperature too much, resulting in the risk
of overheating the infant.
We recommend operating the Caleo incubator in air
temperature control mode when caring for patients with
such conditions – see page 65.
WARNING !
Do not use skin temperature control mode for infants
with a fever, since their skin temperature is much higher
than normal. Using skin temperature control would
reduce the incubator air temperature too much, resulting
in the risk of hypothermia.
WARNING !
Skin temperature control mode must not be used on
twins, since Caleo controls only the temperature for one
infant. Risk of hypothermia or overheating. Always use
air temperature control mode when caring for twins.
WARNING !
Do not confuse skin sensor probe positions on the
infant’s body! The yellow skin temperature sensor (T1) is
used for skin temperature control. Inappropriate
positioning of this sensor could lead to overheating of
the infant.
WARNING !
Regularly measure infant temperature!
Do not leave canopy open for any length of time, other-
wise the air temperature inside the incubator will drop.
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).
