![]() Violent efforts to revive it should be limited to a minimum, and the infant placed as soon as possible in the incubator After difficult operative deliveries, the baby is often in a condition of shock leading to asphyxia.Warm, moistened, oxygenated air of incubator does wonders in these cases Cyanosis, with or without edema, due to feeble circulation, is very common with small infants, and sometimes present with those at full term.Incubator is the quickest way to relieve the condition Edema - Premature infants are not seldom subject to a general edema, beginning at the feet.Congenital feebleness - Infants of fair size are sometimes born weak and with poor resistance, shown by subnormal temperature, slight cyanosis, tendency to edema.Need for use of all of their energy for growth rather than wasting it on keeping warm - so sometimes incubator is used to help them grow faster Small babies can be given small amount of food for growing.Premature babies have undeveloped nervous systems and also lack the energy to regulate their own temperature – need for an incubator. ![]() If temperature goes too high or too low - organs can be damaged.Core temperature of the body needs to be kept at a constant temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.Used mainly to keep a baby’s core temperature stable at 37 degrees Celsius.General Information About Incubators What is an incubator? Recommended Calibration/ Preventative Maintenance Period: Annually.Humidity: 10 to 95% RH (non-condensing).Accuracy: ☑0% for settings up to 85%: minimum 75% for settings > 85%.Air Velocity: 12 hours 65% RH control setting in a 25☌ / 50% RH ambient.Patient measurement accuracy: ☐.3☌ between 30° and 42☌.Temperature variability and distribution: Exceeds IEC- 6 incubator standard.Microprocessor-based control system: Self-test functions are performed at power-up and during normal operation.Alarm sound level: Adjustable audible levels.Servo humidity control range: 30-95% relative humidity in 5% increments.Air temperature control: 20-39☌ in 0.1° increments.Baby (servo) temperature control: 35-37.5☌ in 0.1° increments.Federal Regulation 21 CFR CH-1 (4-1-92 Edition) Section 1020.3(n) - X-ray Attenuation.Microfilter: 0.5μ - 99.8% efficiency (3M FiltreteTM).Mattress tilt angle: 12°, continuously variable.Access door size: 11″ x 31″ (27 cm x 78 cm).Floor to mattress height: 32″ to 44″ (81 cm to 111 cm).Minimum Height (bed lowered) 58″ (147 cm).Maximum Height (bed raised): 70″ (178 cm).Helps relieve pressure points and preserves skin integrity while also improving clinical efficiency by reducing bedding expense.In-bed scale with weight trending allows weights to be taken and trended without removing the baby (Up to 14 weights stored).Elevating base accommodates standing caregivers and seated family, even those seated in wheelchairs.Optional servo oxygen control system maintains an oxygen-enriched environment. ![]() Internally activated, the giraffe incubator has a tilt that is smooth and continuous through 0-12° in both Trendelenburg positions.Are you looking for the newer model? Check out the GE Giraffe Incubator Carestation. Dual Access doors and portholes – allow access even when the bed is tilted 12°. The Patented Baby Susan rotating mattress allows the caregiver to rotate the bed 360° for easy patient access. ![]() The GE Giraffe incubator has a centralized display/control unit providing accessibility from either side of the bed plus excellent viewing of all equipment and patient parameters. The GE Giraffe Incubator is an enclosed neonatal intensive care microenvironment incubator with an innovative design and exceptional thermal performance that creates an unsurpassed healing environment for intensively ill infants.
