Giraffe Omnibed - Product Usage: The OmniBed is a combination of an infant incubator and an infant warmer. The device can be operated as an incubator or as a warmer and can transition from one mode to the other on user s demand. It cannot be operated in both modes at the same time. Incubators and warmers provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. Incubators provide an enclosed, temperature-controlled environment and warmers provide infrared heat in an open environment. They may also be used for short periods of time to facilitate the neonate s transition from the uterus to the external environment. This device may incorporate a Servo Controlled Oxygen Delivery System. This is indicated to provide stable oxygen concentration within the infant compartment at the value set by the operator (21-65%).

Class I - Dangerous

GE Healthcare has become aware of a potential safety issue that can occur if the canopy seals are not cleaned appropriately. Healthcare professionals reported buildup of debris around the edge of the canopy seal which can lead to a source of infection. Upon review, the Agency concluded that the cleaning and care guidelines provided by the firm were inadequate for effective cleaning of the device. In particular, the instructions do not instruct for removal of canopy seal prior to cleaning, which leads to the buildup of debris.

Giraffe Bedded Warmer, Panda Warmer Giraffe and Panda Warmer- Infant radiant warmers provide infrared heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermoregulate based on their own physiology. Infant radiant warmers may be used to facilitate the neonate's transition to the external environment or to provide a controlled open environment. An optional integrated SpO2 monitoring feature may be used for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (measured by an SP02 sensor). An optional integrated resuscitation system may be used to provide the basic equipment required for pulmonary resuscitation of infants. Pulmonary resuscitation includes practices necessary to establish a clear airway and provide oxygen or air/oxygen mixtures and/or manual ventilation to the infant.

CarePlus Incubator Ohmeda-Ohio CarePlus Incubator- Incubators provide a controlled thermal environment for neonates who are unable to provide their own thermoregulation. They may also be used for short periods of time to facilitate the neonate s transition from the uterus to the external environment. Most Incubators provide a controlled thermal environment for neonates who are unable to provide their own thermoregulation. They may also be used for short periods of time to facilitate the neonate s transition from the uterus to the external environment. Most incubators can be used in two operating modes: 1. Air Control: The clinician sets the appropriate air temperature for maintaining the desired patient temperature. The air temperature is initially selected based on the clinician s training and experience and then is adjusted based on the patient s needs and clinical status. 2. Patient control: The clinician sets the desired patient temperature. A skin temperature probe sense the patient temperature and feeds this information to the controller of the incubator. Thecontroller then adjusts the heater output to maintain the patient temperature at the set value. These adjustments to the heater output are made in such a way to gradually change the patient s temperature while minimizing overshooting and patient stress. Incubators have alarms to alert clinicians when certain patient or equipment conditions occur, such as a malfunction, or an excessive departure of the patient s temperature from the set value. Incubators may incorporate other features, such as humidification of the infant environment, tilting of the bed, oxygen supply, and data output to remote monitors or nurse call systems

IWS Infant Warmer System-Infant radiant warmers provide infrared heat, in a controlled manner, to neonates who are unable to thermoregulate based on their own physiology or necessitate external heat to smoothen the transition from the uterus to the external environment. They fulfill the same purpose of neonatal incubators but they may be preferred over incubators when total access to the patient is needed or desirable (e.g., surgical procedures, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, frequent resuscitation, etc.). Most infant radiant warmers can be used in two operating modes: 1. Manual: The clinician sets the appropriate heater output for maintaining the desired patient temperature. The heater output is initially selected based on the clinician s training and experience and then is adjusted based on the patients needs and clinical status. 2. Servo: The clinician sets the desired patient temperature. A skin temperature probe senses the patient temperature and feeds this information to the controller of the infant radiant warmer. The controller then adjusts the heater output to maintain the patient temperature at the set value. These adjustments to the heater output are made in such a way to gradually change the patient s temperature while minimizing overshooting and patient stress. Infant radiant warmers have alarms to alert clinicians when certain patient or equipment conditions occur, such as a malfunction, or an excessive departure of the patient s temperature from the set value. Infant radiant warmers may incorporate other features, such as phototherapy, observation light, tilting of the bed, and data output to remote monitors or nurse call systems
