Care Plus technology
The Care Plus combines microprocessor technology, a unique hood design with front
to back air flow, and an optional humidifier to stabilize patient temperature:
The microprocessor responds immediately to temperature changes, minimizing the
temperature fluctuations of older, analog incubators.
Heated air circulated along the hood wall, or between the optional double walled
hood, warms the surfaces surrounding the infant, reducing radiant heat loss.
Limiting air movement around the infant reduces convective and evaporative heat
loss. Humidifying the air further reduces evaporative heat loss.
WARNING w Before using the Ohio Care Plus Incubator, read through this entire
manual. As with all medical equipment, attempting to use this device
without a thorough understanding of its operation may result in patient or
user injury.

Operating modes
The Care Plus has two operating modes: the air control (or manual) mode, which
adjusts heater output to achieve a target air temperature; and the patient control (or
servo) mode, which adjusts the incubator temperature to achieve a target infant skin
temperature. In both modes, the target temperature appears in the Control Tempera-
ture display on the front of the controller and can be adjusted using the temperature
switches (? and M).
To distinguish between control temperatures in the different modes, this manual uses
the term air control temperature for the control temperature in the air control mode
and the term patient control temperature for the control temperature in the patient
control mode.
Note: This section briefly mentions displays, controls, and alarms that play a significant
role in the air control and patient control modes. For further information, refer to the
appropriate section Controls and displays or Alarms.
The air control (manual) mode
The air control mode compares the air temperature to the air control temperature to
determine if the heater should be switched on or off. If the air temperature is too high,
the heater switches off. If the air temperature is too low, the heater switches on.
Air control temperature
The air control mode lets you enter air control range temperatures from 20
to 37C (68.0 to 98.6F) using the temperature switches (? and M). Pressing
the Override switch when the air control temperature is 37C (98.6F) lets
you increase the air control temperature to 39.0C (102.2F).
Control temperature alarm
The control temperature alarm triggers if the air temperature exceeds a normal range
air control temperature by more than 1.5C (2.7F) or if the air temperature falls more
than 3.0C (5.4F) below the air control temperature. For air control temperatures
above 37C, the control temperature alarm triggers if the air temperature exceeds the
air control temperature by more than 1.0C (1.8F).
To avoid unnecessary alarms, the control temperature alarm does not trigger during the
first 30 minutes after power is switched on and for 15 minutes after you change the air
control temperature or enter the air control mode from the patient control mode. During
this period, normal incubator alarm routines verify proper operation and switch off the
heater if the air temperature exceeds certain default safety limits: 38C (100.4F) for
control temperatures below 37C (98.6F) and 40C (104.0F) for control temperatures
above 37C.
3-2
3-2 6600-0291-000 2/24/97
Patient probe (Care Plus 2000 only)
In the air control mode, the patient probe has no affect on incubator opera-
tion; connecting the probe simply displays the patient temperature for your
information.
The patient control mode (Care Plus 2000 only)
In the patient control mode, the control temperature (patient control temperature)
corresponds to the desired patient skin temperature. To reach an incubator tempera-
ture that will maintain the desired skin temperature the incubator control system loops
through the program shown in Figure 3-1. This program compares the patient control
temperature setting to the actual patient temperature and raises or lowers the incubator
temperature depending on whether the infant is hot or cold. The incubator temperature
that maintains the desired skin temperature is referred to as the DET (Desired Environ-
mental Temperature). The maximum DET that the incubator will maintain is 39.0C
(102.2F).
You can reduce the time required to reach the DET by preheating the incubator in the
air control mode before entering the patient control mode. The closer the air tempera-
ture gets to the actual air temperature required to maintain the desired infant skin
temperature, the sooner the incubator will stabilize the infants temperature in the
patient control mode. When you switch to the patient control mode, the previous air
control temperature becomes the initial DET. The incubator automatically adjusts the
DET using the three stage patient control mode program, shown in Figure 3-1.
The first stage of the loop checks to make sure that the patient probe is reporting a
reasonable patient temperature before making any adjustments. If the patient tempera-
ture is less than 30C (86.0F) or above 42C (107.6F), the incubator assumes that
the patient probe has detached from the infant, the patient temperature alarm triggers,
the heater shuts off, and the DET remains unchanged.
The second stage of the loop calculates the PTG (Patient Temperature Gradient), the
difference between the actual patient temperature and the selected patient control
temperature, to determine if the infant is hot or cold. If the infant is too cold (PTG < -
0.5C), the heater switches On. If the infant is too hot (PTG > 0.5C), the heater shuts
down. The patient temperature continues to be checked every three seconds.
The third stage calculates the change in the patient temperature over the previous ten
minute period. If the infant temperature differs from the patient control temperature
setting by 0.2C or more, and this difference has not decreased by at least 0.2C
during the last ten minute period, the DET will be adjusted. To prevent large incubator
temperature swings and to allow time for the patient to respond to changes in the
incubator temperature, the magnitude of the change in the DET depends on the PTG.
Patient control temperature range
The patient control mode lets you enter air control temperatures from 35.0 to 37.0C
(95.0 to 98.6F) using the temperature switches (? and M). An internal
adjustment lets you increase the patient control temperature to 37.5C (99.5F).
Patient temperature alarm
Patient temperature alarm monitoring runs concurrently with the control loop. A patient
temperature alarm triggers if the patient temperature differs from the patient control
temperature by more than 1.0C (1.8F), or 0.5C (0.9F) with an internal adjustment.
Additional alarm routines verify proper operation and switch off the heater if the air
temperature exceeds 40.0C (104.0F).

Controls and displays
Patient temperature
During normal operation, the patient temperature display shows the temperature
sensed at the patient probe tip, in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The patient probe must be
properly connected to the incubator and the infant for an accurate patient temperature
measurement.
Temperatures between 22.0 and 42.0C (71.6 and 107.6F) are displayed to the
nearest 0.1C or F. Temperatures above this range result in a HHHH temperature
display. Temperatures below this range cause LLLL to be displayed.
Depressing the Enable switch for more than five seconds tests the temperature moni-
toring system. If the monitoring system is functioning correctly, 25.05C 0.2C re-
places the patient temperature during the test.
Air temperature
During normal operation, the air temperature display shows the internal incubator
temperature.
Air temperatures between 5 and 50.0C (41 and 122F) are displayed to the nearest
0.1C or F.
Depressing the Enable switch for more than five seconds tests the temperature moni-
toring system. If the monitoring system is functioning correctly, 37.95C 0.2C re-
places the air temperature during the test.

Control temperature
During normal operation, the control temperature display shows the control tempera-
ture (air or patient) selected by the operator. When you first power up the unit or if you
enter the patient control mode, the control temperature flashes and a prompt tone
sounds until you enter a control temperature.
In the air control mode, the control temperature range is 20 to 39.0C (68 to 102.2F).
Air control temperatures above 37.0C (98.6F) require the use of the Override switch.
In the patient control mode, the control temperature range is 35 to 37C (95.0 to
98.6F).
Note: Qualified service personnel can configure maximum patient temperature to
37.5C.
During a system failure alarm, the appropriate error code appears in the control tem-
perature display.
Depressing the Enable switch for more than five seconds replaces the control tempera-
ture with the percentage of the rated line voltage supplied by the power outlet.
Four LED displays illuminate to show the average heater power over
the last minute as a percentage of the maximum output (100%, 75%,
50% and 25%). In the example, the average heater power is 75% of the
maximum power.
The alarm silence switch has two functions. Pressing the switch si-
lences all audible alarms except for the system failure and power failure
alarms. The length of the alarm silence period depends on the alarm
condition as detailed in the Alarms section. The alarm silence indica-
tors (next to the switch) illuminates for the duration of the alarm silence
period.
Depressing alarm silence switch for five seconds or longer illuminates
all control panel LEDs and causes 188.88 to appear in the tempera-
ture displays. The alternating, two tone alarm also activates.
The F/C switch changes the temperature displays from degrees
Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit and vice versa.
Pressing the Enable switch activates the temperature switches (? and
M), the mode switches, and the Override switch for approximately 12
seconds. The enable indicator illuminates when these switches are
active. If the indicator goes out, you must press the Enable switch again
to reactivate these switches.
Pressing the Air Control switch selects the air control mode of operation
and illuminates the Air Control indicator (next to Control Temperature
display). To prevent accidental mode changes, you must press the
Enable switch to activate the Air Control switch. The audible alarm
sounds briefly when the mode of operation is changed.
Note: The incubator defaults to the air control mode when power is first
applied.

The Override switch lets you select air control temperatures higher than
37.0C (98.6F). To raise the air control temperature above 37C,
increase the control temperature to 37C, press the Enable switch,
press the Override switch, and then increase the air control tempera-
ture. The maximum set temperature is 39C. The override indicator
remains illuminated to indicate that the air control temperature exceeds
37.0C.
Pressing the Patient Control switch selects the Patient control mode of
operation and illuminates the Patient Control indicator (next to Control
Temperature display). To prevent accidental mode changes, you must
press the Enable switch to activate the Patient Control switch. The
audible alarm sounds briefly when the mode of operation is changed.
The first time that you select the patient control mode, the control
temperature display also flashes and an operator prompt tone sounds
until you enter a control temperature.
These switches adjust the control temperature. To prevent accidental
changes, you must press the Enable switch to activate these switches.
These switches remain active as long as the enable indicator is illumi-
nated, approximately 12 seconds after the last switch is pressed.
The power switch is located on the right side of the controller assembly,
adjacent to the power cord socket. It switches the incubator power On
and Off. Two circuit breakers, located within the controller, limit the
maximum current drawn by the incubator. If the circuit breaker trips,
remove the unit from use and contact qualified service personnel for
repair.
Alarms
Note: All silenceable alarms are preceded by a 30 second operator prompt tone.
Seven LEDs on the left side of the control panel illuminate for various alarm conditions.
Each visual indicator is accompanied by an audio signal.

What the audible tone tells you about the alarm
The audio tone varies with the alarms priority: power failure and system failure alarms
cannot be silenced; an alternating two tone alarm indicates a critical alarm that triggers
automatic heater shutdown; an intermittent single tone alarm is used for all other
alarms.
Silencing an alarm
With the exception of the power and system failure alarms, all audio alarms can be
silenced by pressing the Alarm Silence switch. At the end of the silence period, the
audio alarm reactivates unless the alarm condition has been resolved. The alarm
silence period ends prematurely if another alarm triggers. When two or more alarms
trigger, their respective indicators illuminate, and the audio signal sounds for the
highest priority alarm.
Patient temperature alarm (Care Plus 2000 only)
The patient temperature alarm is only active in the patient control mode of operation.
The alarm activates when the difference between the patient temperature and the
control temperature is greater than 1.0C (1.8F) and resets when the patient tempera-
ture returns to within 0.8C (1.4F) of the control temperature.
Patient probe readings above 42.0C or below 30.0C trigger an alternating two tone
alarm and automatic heater shutdown.
Note: Service personnel can configure the alarm to trigger if the difference exceeds
0.5C and to reset when the difference is less than 0.3C.
The control temperature alarm is only active in the air control mode. The alarm triggers
when the air temperature exceeds the control temperature by more than 1.5C, (2.7F)
or falls more than 3.0C (5.4F) below the control temperature. This alarm is inactive
for 30 minutes after the incubator is first switched on. It is also inactive for 15 minutes
after either a mode or control temperature change.
High air temperature alarm
The high air temperature alarm warns of abnormally high incubator air temperatures
and automatically switches Off the heater. This alarm is produced by a circuit that is
independent of microprocessor temperature monitoring.
The high temperature alarm is not self resetting. After the alarm has been activated, it
must be manually reset even if the alarm condition has been resolved.
The alarm activation temperature varies with the mode of operation:
Mode Control Temperature Alarm Limit
Patient Control All Settings 40.0C (104.0F)
Air Control 20.0 to 37.0C 38.0C (100.0F)
37.0to 39.0C 40.0C (104.0F)
Air circulation alarm
The air circulation alarm triggers when air flow inside the unit ceases or is restricted.
This could be caused by a blower motor failure, or a missing fan. When this alarm
occurs, the heater is automatically shut down.
3-8
3-8 6600-0291-000 2/24/97
Probe failure alarm
In either operational mode, a disconnected air temperature sensor triggers the probe
failure alarm. In the patient control mode, the probe failure alarm can also be caused by
an open or a short circuit in the patient probe.
When a probe failure alarm triggers, the heater automatically shuts down. The tem-
perature displays indicate the cause of the alarm; if the air temperature sensor is
disconnected, the air temperature display flashes 00.0; if the patient probe is discon-
nected or malfunctioning, the patient temperature display flashes HHHH or LLLL
respectively.
System failure alarm
The system failure alarm automatically shuts off the heater and triggers an alternating
two tone alarm if an electrical failure is detected. This alarm cannot be silenced. An
error code may replace the control temperature to give specific information on the
nature of the failure.
Power failure alarm
A battery operated power failure alarm activates when the external power source fails
or is accidentally disconnected. The battery powers the nonsilenceable audible alarm
and the microprocessor for up to 10 minutes during a power failure. If power is restored
within 10 minutes, the previous mode of operation and control temperatures are
recalled.

bed until it locks in position, then rotate the handles up to return the bed to its
original position.
15. Check that the controller is latched in position. The controller latches should be all
the way down, parallel with the sides of the controller.
16. Locate the humidifier fill tray (if present) on the underside of the base. Slide the fill
tray out. Verify that the seals are in good condition and that there is no obvious
damage to any of the humidifier components. Slide the humidifier back in and push
until it locks in position. Push it back until you feel slight resistance, then push
harder till it snaps into position. Otherwise, verify that the plugs are in place.
17. Unscrew the two filter mounting knobs on the rear of the incubator, lift off the
vented filter cover panel and check the condition of the filter. If the filter is dirty, has
been used with an infectious patient, or has been in use for three months, it must
be replaced. When you replace the filter, mark the date on the label supplied with
the replacement filter. Affix the label to the side of the incubator.
Accessory checks
1. Check that all accessories are securely mounted.

15. Switch to the patient control mode of operation. Press the Enable and the Patient
Control switches and verify the following sequence:
a. The enable and the patient control indicators illuminate.
b. The control temperature display flashes 36.5Cand an operator prompt tone
sounds every two seconds. Adjust the control temperature to silence the prompt
tone. The enable indicator will be extinguished approximately 12 seconds after
the last time one of the temperature switches (? and M) is pressed.
Note: A patient temperature alarm will be triggered if the patient probe temperature
differs from the control temperature by more than 1.0C. If the probe temperature is
below 30.0C or above 42.0C the heater will not switch On.
16. Check the range of patient control temperatures. Press the Enable switch to activate
the temperature switches (? and M). The enable indicator will illuminate. Press and
hold the ? switch. Verify that the lowest control temperature attainable is 35.0C. If
the enable indicator has gone out, press the Enable switch again. Depress the M
switch. Verify that the patient control temperature cannot be set above 37.0C.
Note: The maximum patient control temperature can be raised to 37.5C by
internal adjustments specified in the service manual.
17. Check the patient temperature alarm. Press the Enable switch and adjust the patient
control temperature until it exceeds the patient temperature by more than 1.0C. An
alarm should sound, the patient temperature should flash and the patient tempera-
ture alarm indicator should illuminate. Press the Enable switch and adjust the
patient control temperature until it is within 0.8C of the patient temperature. The
alarm should cancel.
Note: Service personnel can configure the alarm to trigger if the difference exceeds
0.5C and to reset when the difference is less than 0.3C.
18. Check the probe failure alarm.
a. Unplug the patient probe from the controller. Verify that an alternating two tone
alarm sounds, the probe failure LED illuminates, HHHH flashes in the patient
temperature display and the heater power LEDs are extinguished. Plug the
probe back in and verify that the alarm cancels.
b. Unplug the air temperature sensor from the controller by pushing in the back of
connector while pulling back on the T handles. Verify that an alternating two
tone alarm sounds, 00.0C flashes in the air temperature display, the probe
failure LED illuminates, and the heater power LEDs are extinguished. Align the
connectors and plug the air temperature sensor back into the controller. Verify
that the alarm cancels.

4-6 6600-0291-000 2/24/97
19. Check the power failure alarm and the battery backed memory. Verify that you are
still in the patient control mode. Adjust the patient control temperature to 36.0C.
Switch to the air control mode and adjust the control temperature to 35.0C. Unplug
the incubator. An intermittent, nonsilenceable alarm should sound and the power
failure LED should illuminate. All other displays and indicators will be extinguished.
Wait two minutes and plug the incubator back in. Verify that the alarm cancels and
the unit returns to the air control mode of operation with a control temperature of
35.0C. Switch to the patient control mode and verify a control temperature of
36.0C.
Note: A fully charged battery should supply the power failure alarm for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the alarm is tested for the full 10 minutes the incubator must
be run for at least two hours to recharge the battery before it is used with a patient.
Total recharge time is 8 to 10 hours.
20. Check the Alarm Silence switch. Unplug the air temperature sensor and press the
Alarm Silence switch. Verify that the alarm is silenced for one minute. Reconnect the
air temperature sensor.
Note: The functionality of the remainder of the alarms is continually checked by the
microprocessor software during normal operation. If a fault occurs in any of this circuitry,
an indicator lights and a tone is sounded.
Computer independent circuitry continuously measures and compares the incubator
temperature with a factory set level. Visual and audible alarms are activated and the
heater is shut-off if the incubator temperature exceeds this pre-set level, independent of
the software.
Additionally, a computer independent watchdog circuit will reset the computer, turn off the
heater, and activate the alarms in the event of a microprocessor failure or software error.
Operational checks
1. Make sure that the incubator is in the air control mode.
2. Verify that the front door, the portholes and the hood are closed.
3. Set the control temperature as close to the air temperature as possible. Allow the air
temperature reading to stabilize. Verify that the air temperature remains within 0.5C
of the control temperature for five minutes after stabilization.

WARNINGS w Complete the Preoperative Checkout Procedure section of this manual
before putting the unit into operation. If the incubator fails any portion of
the checkout procedure it must be removed from use and repaired.
w Do not leave the patient unattended when using the incubator. Check the
patients temperature at least every half hour. For maximum patient
monitoring over an extended period of time, select the patient control
mode of operation.
w Residual ether or similar gases exhaled by a post surgical patient may be
decomposed by the heater to produce formaldehyde.
w The optional patient probe is not isolated from earth ground. Any addi-
tional equipment used with the Care Plus must comply with UL 544, CSA
22.2, IEC 601, and VDE 750.
w Do not use the Care Plus or the in the presence of flammable anesthetics;
an explosion hazard exists under these conditions.
w Using an incubator with a fan motor that has worn parts can produce
unacceptable noise levels within the incubator.
w Direct sunlight or other radiant heat sources can cause an increase in
incubator temperature to dangerous levels.
CAUTIONS w Proper temperature control depends on continuous, unobstructed air circula-
tion. Do not cover air circulation openings around the bed as obstruction will
result in loss of air circulation, loss of heat, and carbon dioxide buildup.
w Do not mount or rest a radiant warmer or incandescent light on or over the
incubator hood; ineffective heating and damage to the hood may result. If using
incandescent phototherapy lamps, check manufacturers recommended mini-
mum distance to hood.
Note: Because the mattress tray is radiopaque, x-ray plates must be placed directly
under the infant.

Basic operating procedure
This section tells you how to setup and use the incubator in the air and the patient
control modes.
For more detailed information on humidifier setup, oxygen administration, opening and
closing the door, or Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg positioning, refer to the
section Additional operating procedures at the end of this chapter.
WARNINGS w Always set the brakes before placing a patient in the incubator.
w On units equipped with a humidifier the humidifier must be installed for
proper incubator operation, even if you do not plan to use the humidifier.
1. Verify that the air temperature probe is connected to the controller and that the
humidifier or the hole plugs are installed. Plug the incubator into a power outlet and
set the caster brakes. If desired, fill the humidifier (if present), position the mattress
tilt, and set up any additional equipment.
2. Use the temperature switches (? and M) to enter the control temperature. The
normal range for air control temperatures is 20.0 to 37.0C.
3. To select a control temperature above 37.0C, adjust the control temperature to
37.0C, make sure the enable indicator is still illuminated, and press the Override
switch. If the enable indicator has gone out, the Enable switch has to be depressed
before the Override switch will function.
4. Select either Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature readings with the F/C switch.
5-3
5-3 6600-0291-000 2/24/97
5. For optional patient control mode operation, connect the patient probe. For air
control mode operation, the patient probe is optional. Connect it only if you wish to
display patient skin temperature.
a. If you plan to use the patient control mode, use steps 2 and 3, as appropriate, to
preheat the incubator to the air temperature required to maintain the desired skin
temperature.
b. Place the metal side of the skin temperature probe on the patients skin over the
liver area of the infants abdomen. Attach reusable probes with a heat reflecting
patch. Remove the paper protecting the hypoallergenic adhesive of the Heat
Reflective Patch and secure the skin temperature probe to the patients skin with
the adhesive side of the patch (Figure 5-1). Do not remove the heat reflecting foil.
c. If the patient is prone, place the skin temperature on the patients back, where it
will not be against the mattress. If the probe is between the patient and the
mattress, it will produce false readings.
WARNING w Intimate contact between the skin temperature probe tip and the patients
skin must be maintained to assure accurate skin temperature measure-
ment. Under or over heating may result from poor contact between the skin
temperature probe and the patient. Check this attachment regularly to
assure the patients safety.
CAUTION w Avoid placing excessive strain on the skin temperature probe lead. Always
remove the probe from the patient by grasping and removing the heat reflective
patch first, then remove the probe from the patient or the patch. Always remove
the probe by grasping the plug at the panel. Do not pull on the probe lead.
d. Connect the skin temperature probe to the unit.
Note: The disposable probe comes with the heat reflecting pad attached.

e. Route the wire through the left tubing access cover and plug the probe connector
into the side of the controller. Refer to Figure 5-2.
If the ambient temperature is less than 22.0C (71.6F), LLLL appears in place of
the patient temperature until you attach the probe to the infant.
WARNINGS w Use only the Reusable Ohmeda skin temperature probe (Stock No.
0208-0697-700) and Heat Reflective Patches (Stock No. 0203-1980-300, 50/
pkg) or the disposable probe (Stock No. 6600-0208-700,10/pkg; Stock No.
6600-0196-700, 50/pkg) to monitor the patients skin temperature. Use of
other manufacturers probes may affect the accuracy of equipment opera-
tion and the electrical safety of the patient.
w In incubators equipped with radiant or phototherapy lamps, the skin
temperature probe should be located on the patients skin in an area which
is directly in the path of the radiant heat. It should not be attached to an
area which is shielded from the radiant heat or between the patient and the
mattress. Large temperature gradients and very long servo response times
will result from improper probe placement.
w Rectal temperatures must never be used to control a patients temperature.

6. If you plan to use the patient control mode, verify that the incubator has warmed up
to the Desired Environmental Temperature. Then press the Enable switch followed
by the Patient Control switch:
a. The patient control and the enable indicators illuminate.
b. The control temperature display flashes 36.5C and an operator prompt tone
sounds every two seconds. The alarm will continue to sound until you enter a
control temperature. The heater will not operate unless a control temperature is
entered.
Note: When patient control mode operation first begins, a patient temperature
alarm may trigger. Silence the alarm and attend the patient. This alarm triggers
normally if the patient probe temperature differs from the control temperature by
more than 1.0C. If the probe temperature is below 30.0C or above 42.0C, the
heater will not switch On.
Responding to alarms
WARNINGS w Excessive EMI levels in the hospital environment can trigger the system
failure alarm. Note the error code and switch off the unit. Wait ten sec-
onds and switch the unit back on. If the system failure alarm recurs,
w If an alarm is silenced, closely monitor the patient.
Note: Refer to the troubleshooting section in Chapter 7 for problems that do not involve
an alarm indicator.
Many things can trigger alarms. For example: a patients condition may change; a
patient probe may detach; or a change in the control temperature may increase the
difference between the control temperature and the monitored temperature (air or
patient) to an unacceptable level.
If an alarm triggers:
Evaluate the patient
Attend the infant.
Identify the alarm
Check the indicators to identify the active alarm. When two or more alarms are
active, their respective indicators illuminate. If an indicator illuminates, look the
alarm up alphabetically in this section. If two or more alarms have been triggered,
the audio signal sounds for the highest priority alarm.
Silencing the alarm
If desired, silence the alarm. At the end of the silence period the audio alarm
reactivates unless the alarm condition has been resolved. The length of the alarm
silence period depends on the alarm. Power failure and system failure alarms
cannot be silenced.
Another alarm prematurely ends the alarm silence period.
30 second operator Prompt tone
All silenceable alarms are preceded by a 30 second operator prompt tone,
in order to minimize disturbance to the infant.
5-6
5-6 6600-0291-000 2/24/97
Air circulation alarm
Air is not circulating through the incubator. The most common cause is a missing fan or
a fan that is not rotating.
If the alarm continues, stop using the incubator and call for service.
The air temperature is 1.5C above or 3.0C below the air control temperature (air
control mode alarm).
The control temperature alarm is automatically silenced for 30 minutes after you switch
on the unit and for 15 minutes after you change the control temperature or switch to the
air control mode.
1. Evaluate the patient:
Opening the incubator door causes some heat loss.
If the incubator starts out cold, or you make a large change in the control
temperature, the incubator may take longer than the automatic alarm silence
period to warm up.
2. If the alarm continues, stop using the incubator and call for service.
High air temperature alarm
The air temperature exceeds fixed limits:
Control High Temperature
Mode Temperature Alarm Limit
Patient Control Entire Range 40.0C (104.0F)
Air Control 20.0 to 37.0C 38.0C (100.4F)
(68.0 to 98.6F)
37.0 to 39.0C 40.0C (104.0F)
(98.6 to 102.2F)
Have you changed the air control temperature? In the air control mode, de-
creasing the control temperature below 37.0C decreases the alarm limit from
40C to 38C. Making this change while the incubator temperature exceeds
38C triggers the alarm.
Have you changed operating modes? The same thing can happen if you switch
from the patient control mode (alarm limit 40C) to the normal air control mode
(alarm limit 38C).
2. Press the alarm silence button and monitor the patient. This alarm does not self
cancel if the temperature falls below the alarm limit. You must press alarm silence
to reset it.
3. If the alarm recurs, stop using the incubator and call for service.
5-7
5-7 6600-0291-000 2/24/97
Patient temperature alarm (Care Plus 2000 only)
The patient temperature differs from the patient control temperature by more than
1.0C or the patient temperature is outside the 30.0 to 42.0C range (patient control
mode alarm).
Note: Service personnel can adjust this alarm to trigger at a temperature difference of
0.5C
Opening the incubator door causes some heat loss.
Control temperature changes can temporarily increase the difference between
the patient and the control temperatures.
2. Make sure that the patient probe is properly connected to the patient: the metal
side of the probe must make good contact with the infants skin. With a reusable
probe, you must also attach a separate reflecting patch. Make sure the metal side
of the patch faces up.
3. If HHHH or LLLL appears in the patient temperature display while the patient probe
is properly connected to the patient, replace the patient probe.
Probe failure alarm (Care Plus 2000 models only)
One of the temperature sensors is disconnected or contains an open or shorted circuit.
In the air control mode:
1. If 00.0 appears in the air temperature display, plug the air temperature sensor into
the controller.
In the patient control mode:
1. If 00.0 appears in the air temperature display, plug the air temperature sensor into
the controller.
2. Make sure that the patient probe is plugged into the controller.
3. If HHHH or LLLL appears in the patient temperature display and the patient probe
is plugged into the controller, replace the patient probe.

Power failure alarm
The incubator is switched on, but it is not getting any power.
1. Make sure that one end of the power cord is plugged into the controller and that the
other end of the cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2. Plug another device into the outlet to verify that the power outlet has power.
3. Replace the power cord.
System failure alarm
Excessive EMI levels in the hospital environment can trigger the system failure alarm.
Note the error code and switch off the unit. Wait ten seconds and switch the unit back
on. If the system failure alarm recurs, remove the incubator from use. Then, call for
service.
Additional operating procedures
This section provides more information on opening the hood, using the humidifier, and

Opening the front door
Pulling out the mattress tray:
Pulling out the mattress tray facilitates procedures that require total access to the
infant. This can only be done when both tilt mechanisms are at their lowest
position. Lower both tilt mechanisms, lift the tray slightly at the edge of the door
and gently pull the tray out (Figure 5-4).
WARNINGS w While sliding the mattress tray out, make sure the square tabs on the
back corners of the tray are engaged in the guide tracks at both ends of
the platform cover.
w When sliding out the mattress tray, carefully guide any tubes or monitor-
ing leads through the tubing access covers. If there is insufficient slack
or the tubing gets stuck, the attached devices could accidentally discon-
nect or the patient could be harmed.
CAUTION w Do not operate the tilt mechanisms when the mattress tray is pulled out. The tilt
mechanism may jam as a result.

Administering oxygen
WARNINGS w Additional oxygen should only be administered under the direction of
qualified medical personnel.
w The use of head boxes, hoods and oxygen inlets can increase the noise
level inside the incubator.
w Remove all sources of ignition including smoking materials, and sources
of electrical discharge from the area when oxygen is in use. In the pres-
ence of high oxygen concentrations, even relatively nonflammable items
can ignite and burn rapidly. Do not place auxiliary equipment producing
sparks inside the incubator. Even small quantities of highly flammable
items (such as organic cleaning solvents) may explode.
w Ensure the controller is seated and latched prior to administering oxygen.
You can increase the internal incubator oxygen concentration by connecting an oxygen
source to the inlet on the right hand side of the incubator. Either pipeline or regulated
cylinder supplies may be used.

Connecting oxygen supplies
1. Connect the output of the oxygen flow meter to the inlet fitting on the right hand
rear corner of the incubator (Figure 5-7).
WARNING w Always use a back pressure compensated flow meter to deliver oxygen to
the incubator. Other flow meters may not compensate for the back pres-
sure created by the oxygen inlet and could deliver incorrect flow rates.
2. Set up an oxygen analyzer to monitor the hood oxygen concentration. Position the
sampling tube or sensor near the center of the infant compartment. Route the tube
or sensor cable out the hood through one of the tubing access covers.
WARNINGS w Monitor the oxygen concentration at a position near the infants head.
The concentration vs flow rate chart on the side of the incubator gives
only approximate concentrations to aid in setting the initial flow rate. It
must not be used in place of an oxygen analyzer.
w Use an oxygen monitor whenever oxygen is being administered. Concen-
tration of inspired oxygen does not predictably determine the partial
pressure of oxygen in the blood; blood gas measurements are extremely
important for the regulation of inspired oxygen concentrations when an
oxygen enriched environment is necessary. Oxygen concentrations
above 40% can increase the risk of retrolental fibroplasia (retinopathy of
prematurity). Even concentrations of 40% or less oxygen (formerly con-
sidered safe) could be dangerous to some infants. (See current edition of
Standards and Recommendations on Hospital Care of Newborn Infants
prepared by the Committee on Fetuses and Newborns of the American
Academy of Pediatrics.)

3. Switch On the incubator. Unless the incubator is operational, there will be no air
flow to ensure adequate mixing inside the hood.
4. Set up the initial flow rate using the oxygen concentration table next to the oxygen
inlet. The chart will give you a general idea what flow rate will be required to
maintain the desired concentration. The actual concentration will vary with the
condition of the incubator air inlet filter, hood seals, door seals and the number of
open portholes, as well as the infants condition.
5. Wait 30 minutes and then check the oxygen concentration inside the unit, without
opening the hood. Adjust the flow rate if required. Allow 30 minutes between
adjustments for the new concentration to stabilize.
Using the optional humidifier
WARNING w The humidifier must be installed for proper incubator operation, even if
you do not plan to use the humidifier.
The Care Plus offers three levels of humidification: none, low, and high. If you do not
want humidification, do not put water in the humidifier.
Even at the high setting, the humidifier reservoir holds more than enough water to last
for 24 hours.
1. Gently slide the humidifier out of the base. You will feel an initial resistance, but
apply a steady pull to avoid spilling its contents (Figure 5-8).
2. Set the humidifier down on a level surface and add water to the fill level indicated
on the label (1000 ml maximum).
Note: Do not fill the humidifier past the fill level. Filling past the fill level actually
DECREASES humidification.
3. Slide the humidifier back into the base.
4. Adjust the slide on the side of the humidifier to set the humidification level:
For high humidification move the slide completely back.
For low humidification move the slide completely forward.
Drain the humidifier when the unit is not in use. Disinfect the humidifier weekly or after
each patient. Refer to the section Cleaning and disinfecting individual components in
chapter 6 for disinfection instructions.

WARNINGS w The heater is hot enough to cause skin burns. Unplug the incubator and
allow the heater to cool before disassembly or cleaning.
w Always disconnect the power before performing service or maintenance
procedures detailed in this manual. Apply power only if you are specifi-
cally instructed to do so as part of the procedure.
w Thoroughly air dry the incubator after cleaning it with flammable agents.
Small amounts of flammable agents, such as ether, alcohol or similar
cleaning solvents left in the incubator can cause a fire.
w Never oil or grease oxygen equipment unless a lubricant that is made and
approved for this type of service is used. Oils and grease oxidize readily,
and in the presence of oxygen, will burn violently.
