Operating the RH 600 infant radiant heater
Constantly monitor the core temperature and adjust
the temperature setting to the requirements of the
patient.
● Do not fit a cover panel, otherwise the radiant heater
will be ineffective.
● Do not cover or clothe the infant.
Operation of the RH 600 infant radiant heater and
mattress heater with gel mattress
(e.g. Babytherm 8000 WB)
● Set the mattress temperature to the appropriate core
temperature for the patient, e.g. between 38.0 °C
and 38.3 °C for a premature neonate, or 37.0 °C for
a neonate born after the full term.
Set the skin temperature setting to the appropriate
skin temperature for the patient, e.g. 37.0 °C for a
premature neonate, or 36.5 °C for a neonate born full
term.
● Increasing the temperature of the patient:
Set the mattress temperature to the desired
core temperature. If necessary, increase the skin
tempera-ture setting accordingly.
For infants with severe hypothermia: adjust the
mattress temperature and skin temperature settings
so that the patient is warmed by about 1 °C per hour.
