Indications for Use
The OmniBed is a combination of an infant incubator (“incubator”) and an infant radiant warmer (“warmer”). Incubators and warmers provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermoregulate 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. Most incubators and warmers can be used in two operating modes: 1. Air control: The clinicial sets the appropriate air temperature (in an incubator) or the appropriate heat output (in a warmer) for maintaining the desired patient temperature. These parameters are initially selected on the clinician’s training and experience, and then are adjusted based on the patient’s needs and clinical status. 2. Patient Control: The clinician sets the desired patient temperature. A skin temperature probe senses the patient temperature and feeds this information to the controller of the incubator. 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. Incubators and warmers have alarms to alert clinicians when certain patient or equipment conditions occur, such as malfunction, or an excessive departure of the patient’s temperature from the set value. Incubators and warmers may incorporate other features such as tilting of the bed, oxygen supply, and data output to remote monitors or nurse call systems. Incubators may provide humidification of the enclosed infant environment. The device can be operated as conventional incubator or as a conventional infant radiant warmer, but both modes of operation cannot be active at the same time.

The Giraffe® OmniBed® combines the features of an incubator and a radiant warmer. When used as an incubator, a fan and heater beneath the bed circulate warm air through the closed infant compartment. The baby can be accessed through portholes or doors. When you require even greater access to the baby, the canopy can be raised and the compartment walls can be lowered. As the canopy raises, doors open to expose a focused radiant heating element inside the canopy that maintains the baby’s temperature like a warmer. The OmniBed allows the full range of clinical procedures without the disruptive intervention of transferring the baby from one care bed to another.

Temperature Regulation At start up, the OmniBed prompts you to select one of the control modes. If the unit was used in the last 2 hours, it will ask if you would like to retain the settings you used previously. If you are using the OmniBed as an incubator (canopy closed)- you select baby or air mode. If you are using the OmniBed as a warmer (canopy open)- you select baby or manual mode. If you start with the canopy open, or open the bed during the first minutes after start up, and you do not select a control mode, the graphics screen will show the “Warm Up Mode” message and the radiant heater will automatically run at 100% power. When ten minutes has elapsed and you still have not selected a control mode, the graphics display will show the “Preheat Zone” message and the radiant heater will then run at the preheat level; the default preheat level setting is 25% power.
CI.31.007
The OmniBed has two control modes when used as either an incubator or a warmer. With the compartment closed, the OmniBed controls the inside temperature comparing air temperature readings from the probe on the compartment wall to a setting you enter using the control panel (air mode) or from a probe attached to the baby’s skin (baby mode). With the canopy raised, the OmniBed controls radiant heater output from a heater power percentage setting that you enter using the control panel (manual mode) or by using temperature readings from a probe attached to the baby’s skin (baby mode).

General Information Operating Mode Transition If the canopy is raised while the OmniBed is being operated as an incubator, it automatically switches to operation as a radiant warmer. If it was in the baby mode as an incubator, after the canopy is raised it will continue to operate in the baby mode, using the same baby set temperature you entered earlier. If the canopy is raised while the OmniBed is being operated in the air mode as an incubator, it will operate in the manual mode as a warmer. The radiant heater will activate at the preheat level (the factory set preheat level is 25%; this can be adjusted on the service screen), and the OmniBed will prompt you to select a heater power percentage. If the canopy is lowered while the OmniBed is being operated as a radiant warmer, it automatically switches to operation as an incubator. If it was in the baby mode as a warmer, after the canopy is lowered it will continue to operate in the baby mode, using the same baby set temperature you entered earlier. If the canopy is lowered while the OmniBed is being operated in the manual mode as an warmer, it will operate in the air mode as an incubator. The compartment heater and fan will start at the last air set temperature saved since power-off, or at the preheat temperature of 33°C, and the OmniBed will prompt you to select an air set temperature.

Note: A FiO2 > 26% message indicates a leak or higher oxygen levels from other equipment. For more information see Option Alarms later in this chapter.
CI.31.152
Note: Calibration is required only if the Servo Control Oxygen System is activated. The Giraffe Servo Control Oxygen System uses fuel cell type sensors that generate specific voltages depending on the oxygen concentrations that are present. The microprocessor stores this measurement and compares it with the setting you enter using the display, opening and closing the valves that allow supply oxygen into the baby compartment. Fluctuations in fuel cell temperature and humidity are compensated for by the microprocessor. The temperature of the oxygen sensor housing under the bed is always slightly higher than the baby compartment, so condensation that would affect accuracy will not occur.
CI.31.151
Servo Control Oxygen System is a fully integrated option available on the Giraffe® OmniBed® During operation noise levels in the infant compartment are imperceptible. Remote oxygen sensors mount inside the unit underneath the bed. Oxygen concentration is set using the OmniBed’s or Incubator’s display. Calibration, prompted once a day by the display, requires only a single push of a button. The Servo Control Oxygen System allows the administration of oxygen with virtually no intrusion to either you or the baby.
The Servo control system should be calibrated before each patient and at least once during every 24 hours. The system must be connected to an oxygen source during calibration. The display will prompt you when the system requires calibration. Calibration is initiated from the Set Up (wrench icon) screen by selecting Cal Oxygen. Once you start it, calibration is automatic and takes less than five minutes. A bar graph indicates progress toward completing calibration. If for any reason you wish to discontinue calibration before it is completed, turning the control knob in either direction will cause the word Cancel to appear on the calibration screen. Pushing in the control knob will discontinue calibration.
CI.31.147
The servo-control system must be calibrated at the same atmospheric pressure in which it is to be used. Operation at atmospheric pressures other than that present during calibration may result in readings outside the stated accuracy for the unit.
CI.31.148
Select the O2 icon to bring up the Servo Control Oxygen System screen. The actual concentration of oxygen, from the sensor underneath the compartment, is displayed in large numerals. The set percentage of oxygen by volume, ranging from 21 to 65%, is shown in smaller numerals. Adjust the set percentage to the desired level by pushing the knob to select the setting. Turn the knob to increase or decrease percentage then push the knob to enter the new setting. Exit the menu. The actual and set oxygen concentrations will remain displayed.

CI.31.037
Active whenever the unit is in the baby mode, the Baby Cold alarm activates when the temperature measured by the probe on the baby skin is 1.0°C below the baby temperature you set previously (this can be adjusted to 0.5°C using the Setup/Customize screen). Monitor the patient carefully and check the attachment of the probe on the baby’s skin. The audio alarm is suspended for a 15 minute period when you push the alarm silence button. This alarm can also be activated in the Manual and Air modes. See setup screen.
These alarms warn of abnormally high temperatures read by the compartment probe in all control modes and automatically shut off the heater. They are not self resetting; once the alarms are activated they must be manually reset by pushing the alarm silence button, even if the alarm condition is resolved. Computer independent circuitry continuously measures and compares the compartment temperature with factory set levels. Visual and audible alarms are activated and the heater shuts off if the compartment temperature exceeds these preset levels, independent of the software. The functionality of all other alarms is continually checked by the microprocessor software during normal operation.
