The bed is actively heated (refer to 3. below) and provides a gel pad. 2.1 Tilting facility The tilting facility below the bed allows a fine adjustment of the head up/feet down and feet up/head down position up to 12 °. A catch (2.2) is provided to fix the bed in the desired tilt position. 3.1
3.
Under-pad heating device
An electrical heating device is integrated in the bottom of the bed. The temperature is precisely controlled to the selected value. A gel pad (3.1) accumulates the heat and conducts it to the patient (conductive heat transfer). The under-pad heating device must be used with the original Weyer gel pad WY0620 only. Otherwise the safety of the neonatal warming bed is impaired.
The actual under-pad temperature and the selected temperature are permanently displayed. Deviations from the temperature selection, system faults as well as interruption of the power supply are alerted visually and audibly. The temperature display does not give a reliable indication as to the patient's body temperature. Therefore the patient's temperature must be checked at regular intervals or monitored. When the under-pad heating device is switched off, the gel pad (3.1) may cause a reduction of the patient's temperature. When nevertheless the neonatal warming bed shall be used with switched off under-pad heating device, the PU pad WY0628 must be used instead of the gel pad or for isolation purposes a foam pad or woollen nappy, at least 2 cm thick, must be placed between patient and gel pad.

Temperature selection of the under-pad heating device
Heat is conducted to the patient The temperature selection of the under-pad heating depends on several factors, e.g.: •
Age and maturity of the patient.
•
Weight.
•
Does the patient suffer from Hypothermia / Hyperthermia?
•
Are vital functions impaired?
•
Which accompanying therapies are applied?
•
Is the patient clothed or unclothed? Heat is withdrawn from the patient
For a mature unclothed infant a temperature of approx. 36.5°C should be selected. For a pre-term neonate a temperature of approx. 37° to 37.5°C is recommendable. For clothed infants the temperature can be selected 0.5 to 1°C lower. For temperature selection it must be considered that the temperature of the gel pad has a direct influence on the patient (thermal conduction). When the pad temperature is higher than the patient's temperature, heat is supplied to the patient.
Temperature balance
When on the other hand the pad temperature is lower than the patient's temperature, heat may be withdrawn from the patient!
The patient's temperature must be checked at regular intervals or monitored. When the under-pad heating device is switched off, the gel pad may cause a reduction of the patient's temperature. When nevertheless the warming bed shall be used with switched off under-pad heating device, for isolation purposes a foam pad or woollen nappy, at least 2 cm thick, must be placed between patient and pad! In case of ambient temperature above 30°C and a temperature selection of 30°C a high temperature alarm may be released. In that case increase the temperature selection to 32°C or switch off the under-pad heating device.

Instructions for use Neonatal warming bed THERMOCARE K
Additional devices The "General requirements for the safety of medical electrical systems EN 60601-1-1 + Supplement A1" must be observed. Furthermore the maximum permissible power consumption for additional devices is specified at the take-off sockets and must be considered. The limit values of the total leakage currents must be maintained. It should also be considered that the distance to accessories, which are not fixed at the neonatal warming bed, will change and therefore connected lines and tubes might be pulled off.
