Instructions for use Isolette 8000 plus SW 5.n 21
For your safety and that of your patients
► Using infant seats or other accessories or optional components within the
incubator can alter the airflow pattern. This practice may affect temperature
uniformity, temperature stability, the correlation of the incubator temperature
reading to center mattress temperature, and infant skin temperature.
► Use only Dräger-approved accessories.
2.9.2 Blocked ventilation slots
If ventilation slots in the incubator are blocked during clinical usage, patient safety
and incubator performance may be compromised.
► Keep the ventilation slots clear of obstructions, such as blankets, positioning
aids, and cuddly toys.
Failure to comply could cause death or serious injury.
► Do not insert any object into any of the ventilation holes or any other opening on
the Isolette 8000 plus.
2.9.3 Air curtain
When the access panels are open, a curtain of warm air flows along the length of
the mattress toward the top of the access panel openings. The temperature of this
air curtain is higher than the typical incubator air temperature.
► Keep the infant clear of this warm air path.
Interference with the warm air curtain or side vents may cause heat-induced injury
and burns.
► If using surgical covers or blankets over the infant, ensure that they do not
interfere with the warm air curtain or side vents.
2.9.4 Overheating risk
Overheating the infant due to direct radiation and increased incubator temperature
could occur.
► Do not position the incubator in direct sunlight or under other sources of radiant
heat.
2.9.5 Kangaroo mode
Temperature of infants outside the incubator can fluctuate.
► When using kangaroo mode, the 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 O
2 vital signs, especially a
critical O
2 partial pressure.
► Ensure that all cables and hoses are routed correctly and safely.
