CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
The Embrace™ Nest is an innovative, affordable and easy to use solution for warming of clinically
stable premature and low birth weight (LBW) newborns. Specifically, the Embrace™ Nest can be
used either as:
1. An in-clinic warming solution
2. In facilitating transport of LBW newborns between or within sites of care
Embrace™ Nest is intended to provide warmth to clinically stable newborns weighing between 1.5-
2.5 kilograms. Embrace™ Nest is designed for use by clinically trained caregivers as an infant warmer
in the clinic, or during transport.
The Embrace™ Nest is NOT intended to be used by untrained caregivers, or outside of clinical
settings, or sent home with the parents. The product is also not intended to be used on clinically
unstable newborns or on newborns outside of the above specified weight range.
The Embrace™ Nest consists of three components:
BabyWrap™
An interface in which the
newborn rests
WarmPak™
A removable pack of phase-
change material (PCM) and
water which, when heated,
serves as the source of
warmth
