Be sure to keep the front admittance panel and the access ports closed
when using the unit.
If the front admittance panel or an access port is left open when the unit is in use, the infant may fall
out of the baby compartment. Be sure to keep the front admittance panel and the access ports closed
during phototherapy also when it is performed on an infant placed in the incubator.
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 even lose its life. 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, stop using the unit immediately and ask for repair.
The infant may fall.
Always check the front admittance panel operating retainer and the hook
sliders of the snap-open access ports for proper operation. If the front admittance panel or a snap-open port should not close securely, don’t place
an infant in the unit, and ask for repair.
Do not open the front admittance panel or an access port in order to lower
the incubator air temperature.
Because the incubator air temperature is controlled automatically at a set temperature, the heater
output will increase dangerously to make up for any temperature drop.
Open and close the snap-open access ports gently.
If you open or close them roughly, they may not open or close properly, which is dangerous.
After the infant is placed in the incubator, check again that the front admittance panel and the access ports are all closed securely.
Do not fasten the infant fixing bands too tightly.
If they are fastened too tightly, they will press the infant dangerously.
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 will generate a spark may cause an explosion or a fire if used near the unit.
− 10 −
Page 13
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.
If water or any liquid should get into the unit, stop using the unit and request a repair service.
If the power supply should be short-circuited, it may cause the incubator to ignite or burn out. Chemical
fluids, having entered the unit, may stick to the incubator parts and cause abnormal operation of the
incubator.
Ground the unit securely.
Otherwise, a leakage current may cause an electric shock. In order to complete the ground connection, connect the power cord only to a properly grounded 3P power outlet including a ground terminal. Do not operate the unit if you have any doubt about its ground connection.
Do not use a device generating high frequency near the unit.
To prevent malfunction of the unit due to jamming, do not use electric surgical knives, portable and
mobile communication equipment and other devices which generate high frequency near the unit
during its operation.
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 a risk of retinopathy of
prematurity and other adverse effects.
Do not give a shock to the unit or allow it to be struck by other objects.
The screws or fixed parts may become loose.

standby.
Place the infant in the incubator only when the incubator air temperature
has stabilized.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the incubator air temperature.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the oxygen concentration in the incubator.
Be sure to use oxygen intended for medical use.
Be sure to bear in mind the following precautions 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, bed sheets, etc. Do not use any material that is easily
charged with static electricity.
쎲 Use pure cotton or fire-proof materials for the clothing of doctors, nurses and those ambulance
men who handle this unit.
Bear in mind the following precautions 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, piping, connections and other parts of 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 first and then
to supply oxygen again.
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.

3-5. Where to Place the Incubator.
Except during transport, place the incubator on a horizontal surface convenient for work. Avoid placing the
incubator near a heating apparatus, by the window or where fire is used.
