DESCRIPTION

The forced air circulation system of the incubator permits stable temperature control, uniform heat distribution, humidification, effective isolation of the infant from airborne contaminants, and control of oxygen concentrations. An access panel, access doors, and iris entry ports provide accessibility to the infant. When the access panel is open, a curtain of warm air flows from beneath the front edge of the mattress toward the top of the access panel opening; this air curtain minimizes the temperature drop within the hood environment. The incubator is designed for use in a nursery environment having a typical ambient operating temperature range of 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) to 30 degree Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). A guard rail is standard.
