NEONATAL INCUBATOR Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has base 1 with containers and bed 4 for baby. The container has pressure line 5. An intake opening of air supply line 10 and a nipple of oxygen supply line 14 are made in base 1. The device has two fans 15 and 16, four humidifiers 17-20, three radiators 21-23, common heat exchanger 24 and heat exchanger 25, radiators 21-23 being placed into common heat exchanger 24 together with high power heaters 55 and low power heaters 56 and humidifier 19 together with moderate power heater 57 being placed into heat exchanger 25. Humidifiers 17-20 are flow-type vessels partially filled with distilled water. Air supply line 10 branches into two lines 26 and 27, their flows joining in mixer 28. There are fans 15 and 16 in the lines. Fan 15 is connected with circulation line 38, fan 16 is connected with circulation line 43. Oxygen supply line 14 is connected with pressure line 5 which is connected with outlet 50 of mixer 28. EFFECT: reduced risk to infect the incubator lines with pathogenic bacteria; reliable fire protection; lower oxygen consumption. 1 dwg
