1/Introduction Description The Ohio Care Plus Servo-controlled Humidifier uses a heating element in a water tray under the incubator to provide humidification. An electronic controller adjacent to the water tray uses a microprocessor to control the heating element. The heating element produces warm water vapor and opens a valve that releases that vapor into the incubator patient chamber.

Humidity sensor

CI.18.016

CI.18.015

The desired humidity level is entered on a control panel on the front of the humidifier. The controller compares relative humidity readings from a sensor located inside the patient chamber of the incubator to this set humidity, and regulates the heater and valve to maintain the desired humidity.

2/General Information In this section The humidifier servo control... 2-1 Controls and displays... 2-2 Operator prompts... 2-3

The humidifier servo-control The Care Plus Servo-controlled Humidifier adjusts humidity output to achieve a desired humidity level. The desired humidity level, which appears in the display on the front of the humidifier, can be adjusted using the humidity switches (? and M). The controller compares the humidity display value to the control humidity setting. A microprocessor regulates the heater, which adjusts the valve in the opening to provide the desired humidity level. Control Humidity Range After you press the enable button, the controller lets you enter humidity control values from 40 to 85% RH using the humidity switches ( ? and M).

Auto Shutoff / Add Water

Operator prompts Silencing a prompt The system failure prompt cannot be silenced. The low water level prompt can be silenced by sliding out the humidifier fill tray. System fail A system failure automatically shuts off the heater and triggers a continuous tone when an electrical failure is detected. During a system failure, the system fail indicator lights and a tone sounds. The following conditions trigger a system failure: • A disconnected, open or short circuit in the humidifier sensor. • An open circuit on the heater. • A controller malfunction Auto Shutoff/Add Water The Auto Shutoff/Add Water prompt automatically shuts off the heater. These conditions trigger a Auto Shutoff/Add water prompt: • The water level is low in the humidifier fill tray. The prompt tone can be silenced by sliding out the fill tray, but the indicator stays lit and the RH display flashes. If there is still no water in the tray when it is replaced, the prompt tone will start sounding again within a few minutes. • The humidifier fill tray is not fully inserted. Only the indicator will light; no tone will sound. Power to the heater is disrupted until the tray is fully inserted. Note: If the Auto Shutoff/Add Water prompt sounds and the fill tray is removed and then replaced without water in it, there is a 30 second delay before the prompt sounds again. Note: This is not an instantaneous prompt. There will be a delay of no more than 20 minutes before the prompt sounds even when the fill tray is dry. 6600-0223-000  101 2-3 2-3
