180 Instructions for use Isolette 8000 plus SW 5.n
Principles of operation
The rate of vaporization is determined by the level of power transmitted to the
humidifier heater. The sensor module, located within the hood environment, houses
the humidity sensor that sends information to the controller. The controller regulates
the output of the humidifier.
16.4.2.3 Heater/impeller cover with duct cover
The water reservoir connects to a duct in the heater/impeller cover that directs the
flow of humidified air into the heater well.
16.5 Condensation management system (option)
Condensate formation can occur on the inside of the hood under certain
environmental conditions. On Isolette 8000 plus incubators that are equipped with
the condensation management system, excess water is routed to the heater well
where it drains via the hose into the collection bottle. The condensation
management system consists of a bottle and hose/plug assembly mounted on a
bracket underneath the incubator.
16.6 Weighing system (option)
When installed, the weighing system is on a tray under the bed. The scale contains
4 load beams that perform the weighing function. The controller processes the load
beam information and displays the weight in kilograms or pounds in the
Trend/Alarm window.
System prompts are displayed in the Trend/Alarm window during the weighing
procedure.
16.6.1 Standard scales
The Weight button allows for repeated reweighing of the infant after the weighing
routine has been initiated.
16.6.2 OIML/NAWI scales (not available in all markets)
Since the weighing routine is continuous, no reweigh function is required to update
the weight measurements.
