Mattress Heater
(Babytherm 8010 only)
When mattress heating is used, the gel mat-
tress 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. 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 uncontrolled patient cooling.
Always take into account warm-up time of
the mattress (approximately 1 hour) before
placing a patient in the bassinet.
Do not switch off Babytherm while a baby is
lying on the gel mattress as this will result in
uncontrolled cooling of patient .
Operation
Precautions During Patient Care
Warmer Therapy
Always consider effects of additional sources of heat,
such as phototherapy lamps or radiant heaters. They
increase the heat directed to the patient. Avoid direct
sunlight!
WARNING !
Patient Temperature Monitoring
Check the baby´s core temperature and skin
condition at regular intervals and adjust tem-
perature setting to individual patient needs.
Core temperature of the baby must be
monitored particularly carefully during
phototherapy or while the radiant heater is
used in conjunction with mattress heater.
Skin temperature monitoring is no substitute
for core temperature checks since the two
parameters do not always closely correlate.
WARNING !
All accessories used must comply with
national safety standards for electromedical
equipment used in patient rooms
(e.g. IEC 601.1).
WARNING !
Continuous or intermittent audible alarms
require immediate operator attention to avert
or to prevent development of situations with
the possibility of patient injury.
WARNING !
When folding up surrounding panels, take
care not to pinch patient body parts, circuits,
or other items, such as sheets.
WARNING !
Never leave patient unattended when
surrounding panels are down. Risk of patient
injury by infant falling out of the bassinet.
