WARNING:
For effective heating, ensure that the warmer module is centered above the patient. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Check the infant’s condition at least every 15 min for correct sensor attachment and for signs of
overheating. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Disposable probes are for single-patient use and should be disposed of after use. Failure to do
so could result in infant injury.
WARNING:
Always use a reflective probe cover. Failure to do so could result in infant injury.
WARNING:
To prevent false temperature indications, place the skin temperature probe at least 3.8 cm (1½")
from any transcutaneous monitor (TcPO
2
or TcPCO
2
) probe, and cover the skin temperature
probe with a reflective probe cover. Do not place the skin temperature probe on an area
previously used by a TcPO
2
or TcPCO
2
probe. Infant injury could occur.
WARNING:
To avoid overheating the infant’s skin, position the skin temperature probe so the skin around
the probe is in direct line with the radiation from the warmer. Remove anything, such as
blankets, clothing, or equipment that may interfere with the radiation from the warmer, from
between the radiant warmer and the infant. Failure to do so could result in infant injury or
equipment damage.
WARNING:
Phototherapy units located too close to the bassinet can interfere with the radiant heater and
may increase an infant’s temperature. Infant injury could occur.
WARNING:
The warmer is intended for use with infants in the cart and bassinet. If the warmer is used to
warm the infant held by the mother immediately after delivery, follow all warnings and
instructions, with a particular regard to heater-to-mattress distance and skin probe location.
Avoid placing objects near the mother that can absorb heat and become hot to the touch. Injury
to the mother could occur.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of fire or overheating the warmer, never place objects, such as blankets, clothing,
diapers, or sterile packs, on top of the warmer. These objects can interfere with the proper
cooling of the warmer head and can fall onto the mattress. Infant injury or equipment damage
could occur.
WARNING:
Do not place objects between the infant and the warmer module that block heat transfer and
absorb heat. The heater will directly heat the objects instead of the patient. Infant injury could
occur.
