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 has become hot immediately after use. Before replacing the fluorescent lamp,
make sure that it has cooled down sufficiently.
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 also when it is performed on an infant placed in the incubator.
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 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.
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.
Do not fasten the infant fixing band too tightly.
If they are fastened too tightly, they will press the infant dangerously.
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 cause an explosion or a fire if used in the presence of such a gas.
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 for medical use.
−9−
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
touch the electrolyte, wash it away immediately with a lot of water.
Smoking is prohibited in the room where the unit is installed. Do not place
any possible ignition sources in the room.

[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, and conduct tempera-
ture 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, and con-
duct temperature tests with the unit empty in order to make sure that the incubator operates nor-
mally.
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.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the doctor’s instructions in
setting the incubator air temperature.

open a corresponding snap-open access port. To
close the port, push the port door until it closes com-
pletely.
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 rudely, 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 will press the
infant dangerously.
CAUTION
Place the infant in the incubator only after the incubator air temperature has stabilized.
Opening the admittance panels or the access ports or using sheet with which to cover the infant, an
oxygen headbox, etc. in the incubator will change the air circulation pattern inside and may affect
thermal uniformity, thermal change, 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 greatly.
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.

WARNING
If the pulse oximeter sensor is not handled properly, accurate measurements may not be ob-
tained. Moreover, it may cause tissue necrosis due to pressure at the sensor site, skin irritation
due to the adhesive or burns due to the light emitter.
Attach the sensor properly as instructed in this Operation Manual. Pay special attention to the
following points.
앫 Wrap the adhesive tape for fixing the sensor in place only lightly so that the sensor may just
stay on the skin. If it is wrapped too tightly, the circulation of the blood will be hindered and
measurements may not be obtained.
앫 The sensor is for single patient use only.
앫 The sensor is not sterile when shipped from the factory.
앫 The sensor should be a Masimo Sensor specially intended for pulse oximetry.
If the sensor is attached improperly to the patient, correct measurements may not be obtained.
If a sensor is left placed on the patient for an extended period of time, accurate measurements
may not be obtained. Moreover, you may miss tissue necrosis due to pressure, skin irritations
due to the adhesive or burns. The sensor site should be changed at least every eight hours.
Change the sensor site at least every two hours if the patient has poor circulation at the site;
otherwise the patient may get burned.
Check the circulation of the blood distal to the sensor site at all times.
Make sure that the emitter and the detector face each other across the tissue.
Do not use the sensor during MRI scanning. Iron etc. will be attracted with its strong magnetism.
Do not attach the sensor to the arm to which a blood pressure cuff or an arterial catheter is
attached. It will reduce the circulation of the blood and make a pulse difficult to feel, so that
measurements may not be obtained.
Do not expose the sensor to xenon light, phototherapy light, fluorescent light, infrared light or
direct sunshine. Otherwise the performance of the sensor may be affected.

the incubator. Turn the knob on the oxygen flow-
meter and adjust the flowmeter and 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 till it stabilizes.
WARNING
Be sure to connect an oxygen flowmeter between the oxygen supply source and the oxygen
supply port of the incubator.
Pay utmost attention to the oxygen concentration in the incubator during oxygen supply.
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.
− 41 −
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 dirtiness of the filter
varies with the degree of air pollution and the frequency of operation. Check the dirtiness 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 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 accu-
rate 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.
− 42 −
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 oxygen sensor is an expendable, whose life is greatly affected by the ambient conditions under which it
is used (i.e. ambient temperature, oxygen concentration). 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, its life will be reduced by half if the oxygen concentration or the ambient
temperature should be doubled. Therefore, when attached inside the incubator and exposed to the incuba-
tor air temperature of 36˚C and the oxygen concentration of 40%, its life will be reduced to 2/5 of its expected
life. Considering the fact that the oxygen sensor is exposed to the oxygen in the ambient air even when the
incubator is not in operation, its actual life will be about one year.
