Infants ?????????? • Premature infants are babies born prior to the normal 36 or 37 days, so they are unable to control there temperature with the new environment and also they could have some problems with their respiratory systems so as the heart diseases. • Heat is lost via evaporative, conductive, convective and radiative means as shown in figure (1).
What is Infant Incubator • Infant incubator is a biomedical device which provides warmth, humidity, and oxygen all in a controlled environment as needed by the new born. • It can be consider as therapy device.
Incubator Types • Transport Incubator • Intensive Care Incubator • Radient Warmer
Temperature degree regulator method in Incubator • Linear Method : automatic control (ON or Off) • Proportional control method
Parameters Control in Infant Incubator • Temperature control. • Air temperature mode • Skin temperature mode • Humidity control. • Humidity is defined as the percent of water evaporated molecules in the air. • This is important for an infant baby, because if level of humidity was low the baby's skin will be dry and cause a lot of health problems to him. • Humidity probe: • humidity transducer.Humidity transducers principle is the capacitive changing types that mean any change in humidity will cause a change in capacitive and the change in capacitive will be translated to a change in voltage using bridge circuit. • Oxygen control.
Alarms in Incubator • Air flow alarm (fan stop alarm) • High temperature alarm • Power failure alarm • Probe alarm. • Set temperature alarm
