[1] Operating Precautions
Please follow the operating instructions described in this Manual for the safe use of the unit. The unit should
be operated only by those who have been trained and instructed properly in its operation. The unit should be
operated only for its intended use.
1-1. DANGER
Death or serious injury, damage to equipment or a fire will result if the instructions given below are not fol-
lowed.
Turn the lighting switch off before replacing the fluorescent lamp.
The fluorescent lamp becomes hot immediately after use. Before replacing the fluorescent lamp,
make sure that it has cooled down sufficiently.
Do not replace the fluorescent lamp with wet hands.
Be sure to keep the admittance panels and the access ports closed when
using the unit.
If an admittance panel or an access port is left open when the unit is in use, the infant may fall out of
the baby compartment. Be sure to keep the admittance panels and the access ports closed during
phototherapy when an infant is in the incubator.
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
sustain life threatening injury. Never leave the unit unattended when an admittance panel or an access
port is open.
If an admittance panel, a snap-open access port or a hook slider should be

found loose or faulty, stop using the unit immediately and ask for repair.
The infant may fall out of the unit.
Always check the admittance panel operating knobs and the hook sliders of
the snap-open access ports for proper operation. If the front admittance
panel or a snap-open access port should not close securely, do not place
any infant in the unit and ask for the problem to be corrected.
Do not open an admittance panel or an access port in order to lower the

incubator air temperature.
Because the incubator air temperature is controlled automatically at a set temperature, the heater
output will increase dangerously to make up for any temperature drop.
Open and close the snap-open access ports gently.

If you open or close them with to much force, they may not open or close properly, which is dangerous.
After the infant is placed in the incubator, check again that the admittance
panels and the access ports are all closed securely.
For the infant’s safety, never leave the incubator unattended when an admit-
tance panel or an access port is open.
− 10 −
Do not fasten the infant fixing bands too tightly.
If they are fastened too tightly, they could injure the infant.
Never place a body warmer or other possible ignition sources in or near the
unit.
Use of oxygen will increase a risk of explosion or a fire. A body warmer or other devices in which fire
is used, or which may 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 experience an explosion or a fire if used in the presence of such a gas.
Do not use ether, alcohol or other ignitable substances.

Even a small amount of ether, alcohol or other ignitable substances may cause a fire when mixed
with the oxygen in the incubator.
Ground the unit securely.

Otherwise, a leakage current may cause an electric shock. In order to complete the ground connec-
tion, connect the power cord only to a 3P power outlet including a ground terminal which is grounded
properly. Do not operate the unit if you have any doubt about its ground connection.
Do not use a device generating high frequency near the unit.

To prevent malfunction of the unit due to jamming, do not use electric surgical knives, portable and
mobile communication equipment and other devices which generate high frequency near the unit
during its operation.
Analyze arterial gas levels repeatedly when a high oxygen environment is

required.
It is reported to be extremely important and essential to repeatedly analyze arterial gas levels, when
the infant’s conditions call for a high oxygen environment, in order to maintain the oxygen concen-
tration in the incubator at a desired level. Follow the doctor’s instructions in measuring the oxygen
concentration because ignoring essential requirements may increase a risk of retinopaths of prema-
turity and other adverse effects.
Do not jolt or drop the unit or allow it to be struck by other objects.

The screws or fixed parts may become loose.
Be sure to insert the power plug fully into a power outlet.

Incomplete insertion of the plug may cause heat to generate and a fire may result.
Check the power outlet regularly to make sure that it presents no abnormal-
ity.
A loose or damaged outlet can cause a poor electrical connection, which may generate heat and
result in a fire.
Keep the area around the power plug and power outlet free of dust.
Accumulated dust on the plug can cause heat to generate and may lead to a fire.
− 11 −
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.
Always keep the unit warm to maintain the incubator air temperature at a
fixed level during the standby mode.
Place the infant in the incubator only when the incubator air temperature
has stabilized.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the incubator air tem-
perature.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the oxygen concentra-

tion in the incubator.
Use only oxygen certified for medical use.
Be sure to bear in mind the following precautions during oxygen supply.

쎲 Do not place a body warmer, a flashlight, oils and fats, or flammable vaporizable matters in the
incubator.
쎲 Use pure cotton for the infant’s clothing and bed sheets, etc. Do not use any material that is easily
charged with static electricity.
쎲 Use pure cotton or fire-proof materials for the clothing of doctors, nurses and those ambulance
staff who handle this unit.
Bear in mind the following precautions while using oxygen supply equip-
ment.
쎲 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 regula-
tor, the oxygen cylinder valve, pipings, connections and other oxygen supply equipment.
쎲 On a high-pressure oxygen cylinder, use only a tested pressure reducing valve or pressure regu-
lating 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 first and then
to supply oxygen again.
The electrolyte may leak out if the oxygen sensor should be damaged. If
you should come in contact with the electrolyte, wash the site immediately
and thoroughly with copious amounts of water.
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.
쎲Do not pinch the power cord between the unit and the wall, a shelf or the floor.
쎲Do not place the power cord near a heating apparatus or heat it.
쎲Do not put anything heavy on the power cord.
쎲Always grasp the power plug with your hand to remove the power cord from the power outlet.

CAUTION
The internal batteries will be worn out gradually while the incubator is powered by them. Use the
internal battery or batteries only when the AC power source or the external DC power source (DC
24V/12V) cannot be used. Use the AC power source whenever possible.
If the unit has been kept disconnected from the electrical outlet for a long period of time (for about
3 months), the internal battery will be left in a discharged condition. Turn the power switch to the
ON position. If the charge level indicator of battery 1 or 2 does not come on, plug the power cord in
the electical outlet to charge the battery.
The main body of this incubator can be detached from the mount and used independently. The main body and
the mount each have a built-in battery of different capacity.
앫 Battery 1 : in the main body
앫 Battery 2 : in the mount
쎲 When the main body is detached from the mount and used independently
Battery 1 in the main body supplies power. A fully charged battery (over 6 hours’ charging) enables approx.
15 minutes’ continuous operation with the ambient air temperature at 15˚C and the incubator air tempera-
ture stable at 36˚C.

쐽 Precautions in using a battery

General precautions in using an internal battery are given below. They may not apply to all cases because
the condition of a battery depends on how it is used and stored.
WARNING
Do not throw a used battery into a fire or apply heat to a battery. The battery may generate heat,
explode or catch fire.
Do not immerse a battery in a fluid or get it wet. The battery may generate heat, explode or catch
fire.
Do not step on a battery or give a strong jolt to a battery by dropping it, etc.
Do not disassemble or modify a battery. Its safety mechanism or protective device may break
and the battery may generate heat, explode or catch fire.
Do not leave or charge the battery near a fire or under a hot sun.
A battery contains dilute sulfuric acid. If it should leak out of the battery and come in contact with
skin or clothes, wash it away immediately with copious amounts of water. If it should get in the
eye, flush the eye with copious of amounts of tap water or other clean water and contact a
physician immediately. If dilute sulfuric acid comes in contact with your skin or eyes, burns may
occur, as well as, loss of eyesight.
The charge level of an internal battery will decrease due to spontaneous discharge during trans-
port or storage. Be sure to fully charge the battery before using it for the first time.
In order to keep an internal battery ready for use, connect the power cord to the AC power
source whenever possible and charge the battery.
The charge level of an internal battery will decrease due to spontaneous discharge when it is
only kept in storage for a long time. Charge the battery periodically (once a month or so) even
during storage.
Be sure to charge an internal battery after use regardless of the length of operation on the
battery. Leaving the battery uncharged will affect its performance adversely and shorten its life.

[5] Incubator Air Temperature Control and Placing the Infant in the Incubator
5-1. Setting the Incubator Air Temperature
Practice and master the operation procedure before placing the infant in the incubator. Conduct temperature
tests with the unit empty in order to make sure that it operates normally.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in setting the incubator air temperature.
CAUTION
Practice and master the operation procedure before placing the infant in the incubator. Conduct
temperature tests with the unit empty in order to make sure that the incubator operates normally.
While the infant is in the incubator, check the heater output, the incubator air temperature, and the
oxygen concentration continuously to make sure that nothing is the matter with the infant.
Check that the air outlets are not blocked with a diaper or a gauze. If they are blocked, the tem-
perature in the incubator cannot be controlled correctly.
(1) Turn on the unit and check that the incubator air
temperature and the set temperature are displayed.
The incubator air temperature is displayed in the
range of 20.0~42.0˚C in 0.1˚C increments. “ ” will
be displayed if it is 19.9˚C or lower; “ ” will be
displayed if it is 42.1˚Cor higher.
The set temperature can be selected in the range of
23.0~38.0˚C in 0.1˚C increments.
(2) To set or change the incubator air temperature, press

the switch for about one second.
While the set temperature is flashing, press an ap-
propriate setting switch ( or )to set the
incubator air temperature to a desired level.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in
setting the incubator air temperature.
− 32 −
(3) Allow about 30-40 minutes for the incubator air tem-
perature to stabilize (depending on the ambient tem-
perature).
The incubator air temperature is regarded as stabi-
lized when the incubator air temperature reading is
equal or close to the set temperature.
쐽 Heater output indicator

The heater output indicator indicates the amount of
heat supply required to maintain the incubator air tem-
perature at the preselected level. As the incubator air
temperature rises toward the set temperature, the heat
supply decreases, and with it the output level shown
on the heater output indicator also decreases gradu-
ally from 100. When the incubator air temperature has
reached the set temperature, the reading on the indi-
cator remains within the balanced heat supply range.
Thus the heater output indicator helps grasp the
changes in incubator air temperature control.

DANGER
Always check the admittance panel operating knobs and the hook sliders of the snap-open
access ports for proper operation. If the front admittance panel or a snap-open access port
should not close securely, don’t place any infant in the unit, and ask for repair.
Do not open an admittance panel or an access port in order to lower the incubator air tempera-
ture. Because the incubator air temperature is controlled automatically at a set temperature, the
heater output will increase dangerously to make up for any temperature drop.
Open and close the snap-open access ports gently. If you open or close them forcefully, they
may not open or close properly, which is dangerous.
After the infant is placed in the incubator, check again that the admittance panels and the access
ports are all closed securely.
Do not leave the incubator until you have made sure that the snap-open access ports and the
front admittance panel operating knobs are locked reliably.
For the infant’s safety, never leave the incubator unattended when an admittance panel or an
access port is open.
Do not fasten the infant fixing bands too tightly. If they are fastened too tightly, they could injure
the infant.
CAUTION
Place the infant in the incubator only after the incubator air temperature has stabilized.
Opening the admittance panels or the access ports, using a sheet to cover the infant, or using an
oxygen headbox, etc. will change the air circulation pattern inside the incubator. This may affect
the thermal uniformity, the detection and control of the incubator air temperature, and the infant's
skin temperature.
Avoid opening the entire hood to place the infant in the incubator. It may cause the incubator air
temperature to fluctuate widely.
Never open the entire hood when the infant is in the incubator. Cords and tubes may damage the
infant. All procedures should be performed through the admittance panels or the access ports.

The patient cable is necessary when the pulse oximeter sensor is connected to the unit. The procedure for
attaching the sensor to the patient varies with the sensor to be used. For information on how to attach the
sensor to the patient, see the instructions for use supplied with each sensor.
WARNING
Failure to handle the pulse oximeter sensor properly may result in inaccurate measurements. Moreover, it
may cause tissue necrosis due to pressure at the sensor site, skin irritation due to the adhesive, or burns.
Attach the sensor properly as instructed in this Operation Manual. Pay special attention to the following
points.
Wrap the adhesive tape for fixing the sensor in place only lightly so that the sensor may just stay
on the skin. Wrapping it too tightly will hinder the circulation of the blood and may result in no
measurements.
The sensor is for single patient use only.
The sensor is not sterile when shipped from the factory.
The sensor is intended for pulse oximetry specified by Atom.
Failure to attach the sensor properly to the patient may result in inaccurate measurements.
Leaving the sensor attached for a long time may result in inaccurate measurements. Moreover,
you may not notice tissue necrosis due to pressure, skin irritations due to the adhesive, and/or
burns. Change the sensor site at least every eight hours.
Check continuously the circulation of the blood distal to the sensor site.
Make sure that the emitter and the detector face each other across the tissue.
Do not use a damaged sensor.
Do not immerse the sensor in any liquid.
Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) or methemoglobin (MetHb) or the presence of

intravascular dyes may result in inaccurate measurements.
Do not use the sensor during MRI scanning.
Do not attach the sensor to the arm to which a blood pressure cuff or an arterial catheter is
attached.

[8] Oxygen Supply
(1) Be sure to connect an oxygen flowmeter between the
oxygen supply source and the oxygen supply port of Oxygen flow
Oxygen supply port meter
the incubator. Turn the knob on the oxygen flow-
meter, adjust the flowmeter and then adjust the flow
rate to a desired level.
(2) The oxygen concentration in the incubator will sta-
bilize in about 30 minutes. Increase the supply flow
rate if the detected oxygen concentration in the in-
cubator is lower than a desired level; decrease the
supply flow rate if the detected oxygen concentra-
tion in the incubator is higher than a 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.
쐽 Connecting the oxygen cylinder

To connect the oxygen cylinder, use the optional high pressure oxygen hose (for V-505/pressure reducing
regulator) and the optional OX-231 pressure reducing regulator (for oxygen).
WARNING
Be sure to use an oxygen cylinder intended for medical use.
Be sure to connect an oxygen flowmeter between the oxygen supply source and the oxygen
supply port of the incubator.
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in making decisions on oxygen supply.
Pay utmost attention to the oxygen concentration in the incubator during oxygen supply.
Be sure to use oxygen specified for medical use.
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 adjustment 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 doctor’s
instructions in selecting a desired method of oxygen administration, a desired oxygen concen-
tration, and a desired duration of administration.
− 43 −
WARNING
A risk of a fire hazard increases when oxygen is used. Do not place such auxiliary equipment as
will generate sparks at the place 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 regu-
lator, the oxygen cylinder valve, pipings, 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.
Replace the old filter with a new one every three months in general. The contamination of the
filter varies with the degree of air pollution and the frequency of operation. Check the contami-
nation of the filter through the window of the filter cover. If the filter should be found discolored,
replace it with a new one even if the three month interval is not over yet.
The oxygen flowmeter cannot be used as an accurate indicator of the oxygen concentration in
the incubator. The oxygen concentration should be checked with a calibrated oxygen monitor or
oxygen controller by following the doctor’s instructions.
The oxygen concentration in the incubator varies with the contamination of the filter, the operat-
ing 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.
Every time you use the oxygen monitor, calibrate it with the oxygen in the atmosphere (20.9%).
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in deciding an optimum oxygen concentration based
on PaO2 (a measured arterial oxygen partial pressure level). It is reported to be extremely
important and essential, when a high oxygen environment is required, to measure the oxygen
concentration in the incubator and analyze arterial gas levels repeatedly in order to provide an
optimum oxygen concentration.
Cleaning or maintaining the incubator in an environment where the oxygen concentration is high
may lead to a fire or an explosion. Before cleaning or maintaining the incubator, check that
oxygen supply has been stopped and that the oxygen hose has been removed from it. Oxygen
supply should be stopped, or the oxygen hose should be removed from the incubator, when the
unit is not in operation.
The oxygen cell is a sealed device containing an electrolyte of potassium hydroxide. The
electrolyte may leak out if the sensor should be damaged when dropped, etc. If the electrolyte
should touch the skin or clothes, wash it away with a lot of water. If it should get in the eye, wash
the eye immediately with a lot of water and consult a doctor.
Check the sensor for any sign of deterioration or leaking fluid as a part of routine inspection. if a
crack or any other defect should be detected in its appearance, replace it immediately with a
new one.
Check the oxygen concentration with another monitor to make sure that oxygen is being sup-
plied at a prescribed level.
− 44 −
WARNING
The oxygen concentration inside the incubator hood may be affected when an access port or the
front admittance panel is opened. Check that the access port packings and the tube inlet 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.

✽ The life of the oxygen sensor used with this unit is expected to be about 24 months when used at the ambient
temperature of 25˚C and in the atmosphere containing 21% O2. However, this sensor is greatly affected by
the overall conditions under which it is used (i.e. ambient temperature, oxygen concentration). For ex-
ample, its life will be reduced by half if the oxygen concentration or the ambient temperature should be
doubled.
Therefore, be aware that the actual product life of the oxygen sensor may be reduced even further.
