Operating Precautions
1-1.
DANGER
Death or serious injury, damage to equipment or fire will result if the instructions given below are not followed.
Only those who have been trained properly should operate the unit.
Be sure to keep the admittance panels and the access ports closed when the unit is in use.
Using the unit with an admittance panel or an access port left open may cause the infant to fall out of
the baby compartment. Be sure to close the admittance panels and the access ports when performing
phototherapy on an infant inside the incubator.
Monitor the infants skin temperature when operating the unit.
If the incubator air temperature should rise during phototherapy, proceed with the phototherapy after placing the infant in a cot or an open-type incubator (an infant warmer), as
directed by the doctor.
Since a mature infant emits much 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.
Take sufficient care when using a cot, as it becomes difficult to observe the infant. Alternatively, placing
an ice bag inside the incubator has the effect of decreasing the incubator air temperature. However,
be sure to close the admittance panels and the access ports in this case also.
Do not leave the unit unattended when an admittance panel or an access port is open.
If an admittance panel or an access port is left open, the infant may fall out of the baby compartment
and get fatally injured. Never leave the unit unattended when an admittance panel or an access port
is open.
Stop using the unit immediately and seek repair if an admittance panel, a snap-open access
port or a press lever should be found loose or faulty in any way.
The infant may fall out of the baby compartment.
Never place a body warmer or any other possible ignition source in or near the unit.
Use of oxygen will increase the risk of explosion or fire. Body warmers 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.
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.
10
Operating Precautions
1-2.
WARNING
Death or serious injury due to a fire or an electric shock will result if the instructions given below are not followed.
Be sure to follow the doctors instructions in setting the incubator air temperature or the
infants skin temperature.
Be sure to follow the doctors instructions in setting the relative humidity in the incubator.
Be sure to follow the doctors instructions in supplying oxygen.
Use only oxygen for medical use.
Be sure to bear in mind the following precautions during oxygen supply.
Do not place a body warmer, a flashlight, oils and fats, or flammable vaporizable matters in the
incubator.

handle this unit.
11
Operating Precautions
Bear in mind the following precautions while using oxygen supply equipment.
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.
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 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.
Do not get the power cord caught between the unit and the wall, a shelf or the floor.
Do not place the power cord near a heating apparatus or heat it.
Do not put anything heavy on the power cord.
Always grasp the power plug with your hand to remove the power cord from the power outlet. A
damaged power cord should be replaced immediately with a new one.
Use only the power cord supplied with the unit.
Otherwise, a fire or an electric shock may result.
Before cleaning and disinfecting the unit, be sure to turn the power switch off, remove the
power plug, and allow the incubator air temperature and the heater temperature to drop sufficiently.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand.
Touching the power plug with a wet hand may cause an electric shock.
Do not touch the heaters during use or shortly after use.
The heaters are so hot during use and shortly after use that you may get burned. Allow the heaters to
cool down sufficiently before touching them.
Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
Disassembling or modifying the unit may cause a fire, an electric shock or injury.
Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to excessive humidity, dust or steam.
Installing the unit in such a place may cause a fire or an electric shock.
The power outlet should be located near the unit to prevent accidental contact with a trailing
power cord. Use a separate power outlet for each unit.
Do not put many loads on one power outlet.
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.

Incubator Air Temperature/Skin Temperature Control and Placing the Infant in the Incubator
CAUTION
If the heat-sensing surface of the skin temperature probe is attached improperly to the infant,
or if it should be dislodged accidentally from the
infant, the skin temperature cannot be detected
accurately. In servo control operation, in particular, improper attachment of the skin temperature
probe may cause excessive heating. Be very
careful when attaching the skin temperature probe
to the infant.
OPERATION
(6) Allow 4~5 minutes after connecting the skin temperature probe for the temperature reading to stabilize
and then start temperature monitoring with the skin
temperature probe.
The skin temperature is displayed in the range of
30.0~42.0C in 0.1C increments. Lo will be displayed if it is below 30.0C; Hi will be displayed if
it is above 42.0C.

Incubator Air Temperature/Skin Temperature Control and Placing the Infant in the Incubator
In the servo control mode, the incubator air temperature is controlled by giving priority to the maintenance of
the infants skin temperature. It detects the infants skin temperature with a skin temperature probe attached
to the infants abdomen and maintains the optimum thermal environment through feedback control. In the
servo control mode, the incubator air temperature is controlled automatically to maintain the infants skin
temperature at a constant level (i.e. the set temperature); if the infants skin temperature is lower than the set
temperature, the incubator air temperature will rise, while if the infants skin temperature is higher than the
set temperature, the incubator air temperature will fall.

WARNING
Attach the skin temperature probe securely to
the infants abdominal wall. The skin temperature
cannot be detected accurately if the skin temperature probe should be dislodged accidentally
from the infants abdominal wall, or otherwise
attached improperly to the infants abdominal
wall. Additionally, the skin temperature cannot
be detected accurately if the skin temperature
probe should be warmed by being covered with a
blanket, diapers or the infants arm, or if it should
be cooled by getting wet with the infants urine or
some medical fluid.
In the servo control mode, if the infant should
produce heat spontaneously or should have
developed a fever, the incubator air temperature
may drop and/or some other adverse effects to
the infant may result.

Humidity Control
CAUTION
Do not pour water directly in the humidity chamber. Be sure to fill the cartridge tank with sterile
distilled water.
Allow the humidity chamber and the water in it to
cool down sufficiently before removing the humidity chamber. The temperature of the water will have
exceeded 70C, so that you may get scalded.
Do not leave any water in the humidity chamber
except during humidification.
Hold the humidity chamber with both hands when
taking it out from the main body because the humidity chamber filled with water is heavy.
When the humidity chamber cover is open, the
humidity chamber off alarm indicator will come
on and the incubator cannot be operated.
To prevent the multiplication of micro-organisms
and the contamination of the humidity chamber,
empty the humidity chamber and the cartridge
tank every 24 hours and refill the cartridge tank
with fresh, sterile distilled water.
The temperature of the sterile distilled water to
pour in the cartridge tank should not exceed

39
Oxygen Supply
WARNING
Be sure to follow the doctors instructions in making decisions on oxygen supply.
Pay utmost attention to the oxygen concentration in the incubator during the oxygen supply.
Use only oxygen for medical use.
Never supply humidified oxygen from the oxygen supply port. Supplying humidified oxygen by means
of a humidifier bottle or some other device may damage the internal oxygen supply valve and the
oxygen supply port of the unit.
Pay utmost attention to the changes in the oxygen concentration in the incubator by monitoring it
continuously with an oxygen monitor. If the oxygen concentration in the incubator deviates from a
desired level, make necessary adjustments by increasing or decreasing the oxygen flow rate.
Improper 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. Follow the doctors instructions
in selecting an appropriate method of oxygen administration, an appropriate oxygen concentration
and an appropriate duration of administration.
A risk of a fire hazard increases when oxygen is used. Do not place any auxiliary equipment which
may generate sparks in close vicinity to where the incubator is installed.
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 oxygen supply equipment.
On a high pressure oxygen cylinder, use only a tested pressure-reducing valve or pressure-regulating
valve indicated specifically for oxygen supply.
A dirty filter will affect the oxygen concentration. Replace the filter regularly.
The oxygen flowmeter cannot be expected to provide an accurate index of the oxygen concentration in the incubator. Check the oxygen concentration with a calibrated oxygen monitor or oxygen
controller by following the doctors instructions.
The oxygen concentration in the incubator varies with the dirtiness of the filter, the operating conditions of the incubator, the accuracy of the oxygen flowmeter, etc. To maintain the oxygen concentration in the incubator accurately at a desired level, measure it repeatedly with an accurate oxygen
monitor.
Calibrate the oxygen monitor periodically with the oxygen in the atmosphere (21%O2).
Be sure to follow the doctors instructions in deciding the optimum oxygen concentration on the
basis of PaO2 (a measured arterial oxygen partial pressure level). When the infant requires a high
oxygen environment, it is extremely important and essential to periodically measure the oxygen
concentration in the incubator and analyze arterial gas levels in order to determine a desired oxygen
concentration
40
Oxygen Supply
WARNING
Cleaning or maintaining the incubator in an environment where the oxygen concentration is at a high
level may lead to a fire or an explosion. Before cleaning the incubator, check that the oxygen supply
has been stopped and that the oxygen hose has been removed from the incubator. When the incubator is not in operation, stop the oxygen supply or remove the oxygen hose from the incubator.
The oxygen concentration in the incubator may be affected when an access port or an admittance
panel is opened. Check that all the access port packings and the tube introduction slit assemblies
are securely attached. Any gap in the hood assembly may cause the oxygen concentration in the
incubator to drop.
Oxygen administration may increase the noise level to the infant in the incubator.
When you use the oxygen flowmeter to supply oxygen, the supply flow rate must not exceed 10L/
min. Otherwise, the oxygen supply hose may come off.
(2) The oxygen concentration in the incubator will stabilize in about 40 minutes. Increase the supply flow rate
if the detected oxygen concentration in the incubator
is lower than the desired level; decrease the supply
flow rate if the detected oxygen concentration in the
incubator is higher than the desired level.
Pay utmost attention to the changes in the oxygen
concentration in the incubator by monitoring it with
an oxygen monitor until it stabilizes.

Be sure to supply oxygen to the oxygen supply
port through the oxygen flowmeter (option).

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
meters (m) can be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80MHz and 800MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: The ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) bands between 150kHz and 80MHz are 6.765MHz to
6.795MHz; 13.553MHz to 13.567MHz; 26.957MHz to 27.283MHz; and 40.66MHz to 40.70MHz.
Note 3: An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for the transmitters in the ISM frequency band between 150kHz and 80MHz and in the frequency range 80MHz
to 2.5GHz to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause
interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
Note 4: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
