What Is The Difference Between An Infant Incubator And A Radiant Warmer?

baby incubator

1 The infant incubator is a device that provides a culture environment similar to the mother's uterus for premature infants, low birth weight infants, critically ill infants, and newborns.

2 The baby incubator control system uses computer technology to implement servo control on the temperature (box temperature/skin temperature) in the incubator, and conduct proportional heating control according to the set temperature and the measured temperature. The internal air is adjusted by the principle of thermal convection (heated air) to create an excellent environment with suitable air, suitable temperature and humidity, warm and comfortable, similar to the mother's womb, so as to cultivate and care for the baby.

3 Because the door of the box must be opened and closed for medical operations, feeding and nursing, the temperature of the box fluctuates frequently, which not only affects the thermal insulation effect, but also is not conducive to rescue. It is only suitable for children with relatively stable vital signs.

Radiant Warmers

1 Infant radiant warmer refers to a nursing and warming device specially used for newborns, premature infants, critically ill infants and frail infants.

2 It is equipped with an infrared radiation device to provide continuous warmth to the baby, and has a digital skin temperature sensor and a far-infrared temperature detector to constantly monitor the baby's body surface temperature and bed surface temperature during the nursing process, and optional infant jaundice treatment. The instrument can be used for neonatal jaundice treatment. Clinically, the "infant radiation warmer" is also called "radiation neonatal rescue table". It is used to rescue critically ill children and those who need rapid rewarming.

3 The baby radiant warmer is generally composed of nine parts: LED lighting, radiation box, controller, crib, rack, skin temperature sensor, infusion stand, instrument tray, and jaundice treatment device. Phototherapy accessory for phototherapy of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

4 The heat energy emitted is focused in the form of radiation in the local area where the baby is placed on the table below. It has the characteristics of fast heating, short heating time (≤45min), high radiation efficiency, and constant radiation heat energy. The radiation heat effect is relatively deep and can be It increases the temperature of deep tissue, which is beneficial to heating and heat preservation, and at the same time, it makes it easier for doctors and nurses to approach the patient, which is convenient for operation and rescue, and the baby can be naked for observation. Therefore, the infant radiant warmer is practical, convenient and feasible for premature infants to keep warm.

Because the radiation table is open, the temperature is easily affected by convective air. It is forbidden to place heat sources within 1 meter around the radiation platform, and avoid direct sunlight, so as not to affect the temperature measurement of the platform.
