8.6.1 Techniques for accurate scale measurements
 Always weigh the infant in the center of the bed with the bed in its flat position.
 Do not allow stuffed toys or other objects on the bed to lean against the
incubator walls or access panels. Inaccurate readings can occur.
 Do not allow the mattress cover to touch the hood.
 Secure the ventilator hose to the incubator walls in a manner that permits water
in the hose to drain away from the infant.
To ensure that they do not touch the bed, support the ventilator hose and I.V.
tubes.
 Place the following items so that they return to the same relative position when
the infant has been lifted off and returned to the bed: Breathing hoses, I.V. tubes,
and sensor leads.
WARNING
Risk of death or serious injury
Failure to comply could impact infant safety.
► Do not leave the infant unattended when the access panel is open.
► Double-check therapeutic decisions that are based on the patient weight by
performing a reference measurement using an external scale.
WARNING
Risk of measuring error due to incorrect taring weight
If a tare weight is not determined before weighing, measuring errors may occur.
► Tare the scale before each weighing process.
The bed should be level, i.e., not in the Trendelenburg or Reverse
Trendelenburg position.
