1-1.
DANGER
Death or serious injury, damage to equipment or a fire will result if the instructions given below are not followed. Monitor the infant’s skin temperature when operating the unit. Be sure to keep the admittance panels and snap-open access ports closed while the unit is in use. Using the unit with the admittance panel or snap-open access port left open may cause the infant to fall out of the baby compartment. Be sure to close the admittance panels and the snap-open access ports when administering phototherapy to an infant.
Do not leave the unit unattended when any of the admittance panels or snap-open access ports are open. The infant may be in danger of falling.
Stop using the unit immediately and request repairs if you find any abnormalities, such as a misaligned admittance panel or snap-open access port, or a loose press bar. The admittance panel or snap-open access port may unexpectedly open, causing the infant to fall out of the baby compartment.
When providing phototherapy to an infant in the incubator, watch for any increase in the incubator air temperature. Since a mature infant emits a lot of heat, the incubator air temperature may rise if you place the infant in the incubator and perform phototherapy. The incubator air temperature may also rise if you use multiple phototherapy units at the same time, or if the room temperature is high. In such a case, proceed with the phototherapy after placing the infant in a cot or an open-type incubator, as directed by the doctor.
Do not overtighten the dispo safety bands. Doing so may harm the infant.
Any type of ignition source, such as a hand warmer, must be kept away from the incubator. Hand warmers or other items that may catch fire, or devices that generate sparks may cause an explosion or a fire if used near the unit when oxygen is being supplied.
Do not use the unit in the presence of a flammable anesthetic gas. Otherwise, a fire or an explosion may result.
10
Safety Instructions
Even a small amount of ether, alcohol or other flammable substances may cause a fire when mixed with the oxygen in the incubator.
Analyze arterial gas levels repeatedly when a high oxygen environment is required. It has been reported that when setting the concentration of oxygen in the incubator to a high level, it is extremely important and essential to repeatedly measure the oxygen concentrations inside the incubator and analyze arterial blood gas in order to correctly maintain oxygen concentrations. Follow the doctor’s instructions for measuring the oxygen concentration because ignoring essential requirements may increase the risk of retinopathy of prematurity and other adverse effects.
1-2.
PLEASE READ WITHOUT FAIL
Do not use ether, alcohol or any other flammable substances.
WARNING
Death or serious injury, damage to equipment or a fire will result if the instructions given below are not followed. Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the incubator air temperature. The doctor is responsible for making a decision on transporting a premature infant. Watch the infant continuously during transport. Transporting a premature infant is associated with a risk of intracerebral hemorrhage due to vibration during transport.
Smoking is prohibited in the room where the unit is installed. Do not place any potential ignition sources in the room. Follow the doctor’s instructions when selecting an appropriate method of oxygen administration, an appropriate oxygen concentration, and an appropriate duration of administration. Incorrect use of supplementary oxygen may cause serious side effects including loss of sight, damage to the brain, and death. The risks of side effects vary with infants. The concentration of oxygen delivered to an incubator must be followed by the doctor’s instructions.
Use oxygen for medical use only. Be sure to bear in mind the following precautions when supplying oxygen. z A hand warmer, flashlight, oils and fats, or combustible vaporized gases should not be placed in or near the incubator. z Use pure cotton for the infant’s clothing, bed sheets, etc. Do not use any material that is easily charged with static electricity. z Be sure that the clothing of doctors, nurses and ambulance attendants who handle this unit is made from pure cotton or fire-proof materials.
Observe the following precautions when oxygen supply equipment is in use. z A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease, or greasy substances come in contact with pressurized oxygen. These substances must be kept away from oxygen regulators, cylinder valves, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen supply equipment. z On a high-pressure oxygen cylinder, only use tested pressure reducing or regulating valves marked for oxygen service. Do not use these valves for air or gases other than oxygen. It is dangerous to use a valve to supply a gas other than air or oxygen and then to supply oxygen again.
