"Intended Use" (see page 11). Observe all
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS as rendered
throughout this manual and on labels on the
equipment.
WARNING !
This device is to be used only in rooms with line
power installations complying with national
safety standards for hospital patient rooms.
(e. g., IEC 601.1, "Safety of Medical Equipment).
To maintain grounding integrity, connect only to
a "hospital grade" receptacle. Always
disconnect supply before servicing.
WARNING !
DANGER, risk of explosion if used in the
presence of flammable anesthetics.
CAUTION !
Restriction of Distribution
Federal Law and Regulations in the United States
and Canada restrict this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
CAUTION !
Maintenance
In case of malfunction of this device, contact your
local DrägerService or our Factory Authorized
Technical Service Center.
The device must be inspected and serviced
(preventive maintenance) by competent and factory
authorized technical service representatives at
regular 2 year intervals. A record must be kept on
this preventive maintenance. We recommend
obtaining a service contract through your vendor.
Maintenance or repair of the Babytherm 8000 WB

Precautions During Preparation
WARNING !
Always select correct mattress type for intended
mode of operation (see page 14)
Precautions During Operation
WARNING !
Never leave patient unattended when
surrounding panels are down. Risk of patient
injury by infant falling out of the bassinet.
CAUTION !
Do not place any objects above or underneath
bassinet where they might be damaged when height
adjustments are made.
CAUTION !
Never route patient circuits or lines over top of
panels – they may get pinched when folding up
panels or when installing cover.
WARNING !
When folding up surrounding panels, take care
not to pinch patient body parts, circuits, or other
items, such as sheets.
WARNING !
Patient Temperature Monitoring
Check the baby´s core temperature and skin
condition at regular intervals and adjust
temperature setting to individual patient needs.
Core temperature of the baby must be
monitored particularly carefully during
phototherapy or while a radiant warmer is used
in conjunction with the Babytherm heated
bassinet (see pages 26 - 28).
Skin temperature monitoring is no substitute for
core temperature checks since the two
parameters do not always closely correlate.
WARNING !

Operating Instructions Babytherm 8000 WB
Mattress Heater
When mattress heating is used, the gel mattress
must be placed directly on the heated tray
surface.
The Dräger gel mattress (part no. 2M 20 827)
must not be used in any bassinets other than the
Babytherm 8000 WB. Heater plate temperatures
above 40 °C (104 °F) implicate the danger of
patient burns! Use of a gel mattress with
unheated bassinets will result in patient cooling.
Always take into acount warm-up time of the
mattress (approximately 1 hour) before placing
a patient in the bassinet.
Do not switch off mattress heater while a baby is
lying on the gel mattress as this will result in
cooling patient .
Page 9
Precautions During Operation
(cont'd)
WARNING !
Do not switch off mattress heater while a baby is
lying on the gel mattress as this will result in
cooling patient .
WARNING !
Use foam rubber mattress when the mattress
heater is switched off. Gel mattress will cool the
infant if mattress is switched off.
WARNING !
Do not obstruct conductive heat transfer by
blankets or other insulating covers placed
underneath the patient.
WARNING !
Set temperatures in the lower extended
temperature range only on the order of a
physician. Check the baby's temperature and
skin condition at regular intervals
Introduction
WARNING !
Dräger, Inc. cannot warrant or endorse the safe
performance of third party radiant heaters for
use with the Babytherm 8000 WB. Specifically,
combinations with radiant warmers that are not
intended for use with heated bassinets bear
risks of excessive overall heat transfer to the patient.
We recommend contacting the manufacturers/
distributors of third party radiant heater units
regarding compliance of their product with
heated bassinets before attempting to use them
in conjunction with the Babytherm 8000 WB.
The following notes on settings of Babytherm
8000 in the presence of radiant heaters are
intended as guidelines only and cannot take into
consideration the specifics of individual radiant
heater designs.
WARNING !
When used with an infant radiant warmer check
its operators manual for directions of the correct
heat level and distance to the baby.
WARNING !
Check the baby's temperature and skin
condition at regular intervals
CAUTION !
Remove from mattress all objects with sharp edges.
The gel mattress could be damaged!
Operating Instructions Babytherm 8000 WB
Do not fold gel mattress!
CAUTION !
Do not place any objects above or underneath
bassinet where they might be damaged when height
adjustments are made.

Maintenance
Precautions During Care
WARNING !
Always follow accepted hospital procedures for
handling equipment contaminated with body
fluids.
Precautions During Maintenance
WARNING !
To avoid any risk of infection, clean and disinfect
bassinet and accessories before any
maintenance according to established hospital
procedures – this applies also when returning
units or parts for repair.
WARNING !
Always disconnect power supply before
cleaning and disinfecting.
CAUTION !
Do not expose Babytherm 8000 WB to high level of
ultraviolet radiation. It may cause cracks in the
PMMA (perspex) parts.
CAUTION !
Certain components of the bassinet consist of materials that are sensitive to certain organic solvents
sometimes used for cleaning and disinfecting (e. g.,
alcohols, phenols, halogen releasing com-pounds,
oxygen releasing compounds, strong organic acids,
etc.). Exposure to such substances may cause
damage that is not always immediately recognized.
Sterilization of the bassinet itself with ethylene oxide
(EtO) is also not recommended.
WARNING !
Preventive Maintenance work on the Babytherm
8000 WB may be performed by trained and
factory authorized staff only.
WARNING !
Always disconnect supply before servicing.
WARNING !
Never operate the heated bassinet if it has
suffered physical damage or does not seem to
operate properly. In this case, always refer
servicing to properly trained and factory
authorized service personnel.
CAUTION !
Do not launder mattresses in an automatic washing
machine. Do not autoclave mattresses

Description
Intended Use
Description
Mattress heating
Babytherm 8000 WB is a heated bassinet intended as a
therapeutic device providing warmth for premature and
full-term neonates and infants with a weight up to 16 lbs.
The Babytherm 8000 WB features a mattress heating
system that uses conductive heat transfer to warm up
patients and to keep them warm.The system consists of a
gel mattress, an aluminum heating plate and an electronic
control and monitoring unit.
The gel mattress consists of a gel material with excellent
heat conducting properties, which won't dislocate even
when the bed is tilted. The gel is enclosed by a soft, skin
compatible film.
The mattress molds itself to the body contours of the
patient lying on it, resulting in a large contact surface, a
property that helps conducting heat to the patient and
avoids pressure points (anti-decubitus effect). A cold gel
mattress, on the other hand, dissipates patient thermal
energy. The gel material has an excellent capacity for
storing heat. When the power supply is disconnected
(e. g. during a transport within the hospital), the patient is
kept warm for approximately 15 minutes if sufficiently
insulated (blanket, cover).
The aluminum heating plate consists of a 6 mm (1/4 inch)
thick aluminum plate and a heater element attached
below. It distributes heat evenly over the entire bed area.
The control and monitoring unit is located under the
heating plate. The membrane keypad with its buttons and
displays faces the side most frequently accessed by
caregivers. Temperature is set by the user and adjusts in
such a way that the set temperature is just reached in
those areas where the patient contacts the mattress.
System monitoring includes check routines and alarm
features.
