6.6 Infrared radiant warmer
The radiant warmer generates long-wave radiant heat.
The radiation intensity effective to the patient is
selected at the head end of the device.
For even and dazzle-free illumination of the overall
patient deck two dimmable large-area lamps are
integrated in the radiant warmer which can be switched
on at the head end of the device, if required.
Under unfavourable circumstances parts of the radiant warmer can reach temperatur above 85°C.
During operation it should be avoided to touch the safety guard and the top of the device. In particular
for matrue infants it must be taken care that they do not grip into the safety guard. There is a risk of
burning injuries!!
6.6.1 Switching on the heating
If the radiant warmer is in stand-by mode (display is off and the
information lamp flashes, this mode must be exited by pressing
any key.
Switch on the heating by pressing the left-hand key (1). The green
pilot lamp (6) above the key lights up and the radiant warmer starts
heating.
The default value for the heating is factory set to 10 mW/cm².
When the radiant warmer shall start with a lower intensity in
general, this default value can be adjusted as described in chapter
7.2.
The radiation intensity of 10 mW/cm² is usually sufficient to maintain the body temperature of an
unclothed healthy infant at an ambient temperature of 24° C.
Now the selected default value for the radiation intensity is indicated by an LED spot (11.4) as well as by a
numeric display (11.6).
The information lamp (10) flashes for 15 seconds. During these 15 seconds the radiation intensity can be
adjusted with the rotary push-button (5) according to the requirements and confirmed by pressing. If the
selection is not changed, the radiant warmer starts operating with the default value.
After short heating-up period the actually emitted radiation intensity is indicated as LED bar graph in the
actual intensity display (11.7). E.g. at an intensity selection 10 mW/cm² the bars 4, 6, 8 mW/cm² light-up pro-
gressively. A flashing bar indicates that the selected intensity is not yet reached. The selected intensity is
reached when the bar on the left hand side of the LED spot lights up.
Depending on the start and ambient conditions the ceramic heating elements require approx.
10 - 15 minutes until the selected intensity of 10 mW/cm² is reached.
If the radiant warmer shall operate generally in manual mode [%] then the mode can be changed as
described in chapter 7.2. The sequence of operation described before applies analogously.
