Phototherapy incubators are medical equipment designed to manipulate the newborn without removing him from the incubator, allowing other actions involving: isolation, oxygen supply and monitoring of vital functions, as well as applying phototherapy, where light emitted by special lamps is used, to treat neonatal jaundice, and thus reduce the effects of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
These medical equipment are of great importance, so to achieve the proper operation of the incubators it is necessary to have a good maintenance consisting of changing the air filters, oxygen sensors and cleaning all parts of the incubator.
How is a neonatal incubator composed?
A neonatal incubator consists of a dome and the chassis. The power source and the sensors that alert in case of failure are located in the chassis for the protection of the newborn. These incubators bring with them lamps for phototherapy.
These lamps make up the phototherapy unit and are generally made up of 4 blue light tubes and 2 white light tubes. The blue ones are placed in the center and the white ones on the sides. These phototherapy lamps are fluorescent and LED bulbs.
What should the dismantling and care of phototherapy incubators look like?
Incubators should be cleaned every day with a damp cloth and a dry tissue, the water tank should also be changed every 24 hours, and if the incubator is not being used they should be kept covered with clean cloth.
It is recommended to wash all parts with water and detergent or perform the cold sterilization procedure. It is advisable to disconnect the incubator and remove all accessories, empty the tank, remove the joints of passage holes from the hands and windows, remove the sheet with which the mattress is dressed, remove the trays and take them to process.
