[1] Operating Precautions
Please follow the operating instructions described in this Manual for safe use of the unit. The unit should be
operated only by those who have been trained and instructed properly in its operation. The unit should be
operated only for its intended use.
1-1.
DANGER
Death or serious injury, damage to equipment or a fire will result if the instructions given below are not followed.
Be sure to close the front admittance panel and access ports when the unit
is in use.
Using the unit when the front admittance panel or an access port is left open may cause the infant to
fall out of the baby compartment. Be sure to close the front admittance panel and access ports even
when performing phototherapy on an infant inside the incubator.
If the incubator air temperature rises when performing phototherapy, proceed with phototherapy after placing the infant in a cot or an open incubator
(infant warmer), as directed by the attending doctor.
Since growing infants release a high level of heat, the incubator air temperature may rise if you place
the infant in the incubator and perform phototherapy. Also, if you use multiple phototherapy units at
the same time, or if the room temperature is high, the incubator air temperature may rise. In this
case, proceed with phototherapy after placing the infant in a cot or an open-type incubator, as directed by the attending doctor. Take sufficient care when using a cot, as it becomes difficult to watch
the infant. Also, placing an ice bag inside the incubator has the effect of decreasing the temperature.
However, be sure to close the front admittance panel and access ports in this case also.
Do not leave the unit unattended when the front admittance panel or an
access port is open.
If the front admittance panel or an access port is left open, the infant may fall out of the baby compartment and be seriously injured. Never leave the unit unattended when the front admittance panel or
an access port is open.
If the front admittance panel, a snap-open access port or a hook slider should be
found loose or faulty in any way, stop using the unit immediately and ask for repair.
The infant may fall out of the incubator.
Never place a body warmer or other possible ignition sources in or near the unit.
Use of oxygen will increase a risk of explosion or a fire.
A body warmer or other devices in which fire is used, or which may generate a spark, may cause an
explosion or a fire if used near the unit.
Do not use the unit in the presence of a flammable anesthetic gas.
The unit may cause an explosion or a fire if used in the presence of such a gas.
Do not use ether, alcohol or other ignitable substances.
Even a small amount of ether, alcohol or other ignitable substances may cause a fire when mixed
with the oxygen in the incubator.
Ground the unit securely.
Otherwise current leakage may cause an electric shock. To complete the ground connection, connect the power cord only to a 3P power outlet including a ground terminal which is grounded properly. Do not operate the unit if you have any doubt about its ground connection.
Do not use near the unit any device generating high frequency.
Electro-Surgical apparatus, cellular phones and other devices which generate high frequency should
not be used near the unit during its operation to prevent malfunction of the unit due to jamming.
− 10 −
Page 13
Analyze arterial gas levels repeatedly when a high oxygen environment is required.
It is reported to be extremely important and essential, when the infant's conditions call for a high
oxygen environment, to repeatedly analyze arterial gas levels in order to maintain the oxygen concentration in the incubator at a desired level. Follow the doctor's instructions in measuring the
oxygen concentration because ignoring essential requirements may increase the risk of retinopathy
of prematurity.
Do not jolt the unit or bump it against anything.
The screws or fixed parts may become loose.
1-2.
WARNING
Death or serious injury due to a fire or an electric shock will result if the instructions given below are not
followed.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the incubator air temperature or the infant's skin temperature.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the relative humidity in
the incubator.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the oxygen concentration in the incubator.
Oxygen for medical use should be used.
Be sure to bear in mind the following points during oxygen supply.
쎲 Do not place a body warmer, a flashlight, oils and fats, or flammable vaporizable matters in the
incubator.
쎲 Use pure cotton for the infant's clothing and bed sheets, etc. Do not use any material that is easily
charged with static electricity.
쎲 Use pure cotton or fire-proofed materials for the clothing of doctors, nurses and those ambulance
staff who handle this unit.
Bear in mind the following points while using oxygen supply equipment.
쎲 If oil, grease or a grease-like substance should get in contact with pressurized oxygen, a violent
spontaneous ignition may occur. Do not let such substances stick to the oxygen pressure regulator, the oxygen cylinder valve, pipings, connections and other oxygen supply equipment.
쎲 On a high pressure oxygen cylinder, use only a tested pressure reducing valve or pressure regulating valve indicated specifically for oxygen supply. Do not use such a valve for any gas other than
air or oxygen. It is dangerous to use a valve to supply a gas other than air or oxygen and then to
supply oxygen again.
If the oxygen sensor should break or be damaged, the electrolyte inside
may leak out of the sensor. If you should come in contact with electrolyte,
wash the site immediately and thoroughly with copious amounts of water.
Smoking is prohibited in the room where the unit is installed.
Do not place any possible ignition sources in the room.
Avoid damaging the power cord.
A damaged power cord may cause a fire or an electric shock.
쎲 Do not pinch the power cord between the unit and the wall, a shelf or the floor.
쎲 Do not place the power cord near a heating apparatus or heat it.
쎲 Do not put anything heavy on the power cord.
쎲 Always grasp the power plug with your hand to remove the power cord from the power outlet.
A damaged power cord should be replaced immediately with a new one.

쐽 Memory function
If power supply should be interrupted due to power failure, disconnection of a power plug or other causes, the
preselected settings excluding relative humidity and the items to be displayed will be retained in the memory,
so that it is not necessary to set them anew when power returns. Thus, the last selected settings and display
items will be displayed when the power switch is pressed ON.
However, since there are no memory functions for humidity control and the oxygen controller, it is necessary
to operate each switch again to reset the functions after resumption of power.
CAUTION
When the oxygen controller is working, if the power supply is interrupted due to a power failure,
disconnection of the power plug or the like, the oxygen supply does not restart even if power
resumes. Press the ON/OFF switch of the oxygen controller for about one second to set the oxygen controller to ON again. The oxygen concentration value which was set before the power interruption is displayed and oxygen supply resumes. Set the humidity control in the same way.
