Infant Radiant Warmers
INCU sensor placement for testing infant radiant warmers is treated in the
same manner as closed incubators utilizing forced convection, with the
exception of T2. As discussed above, T2 is used as a third convection
temperature sensor for testing closed incubators with forced convection. In
contrast, when testing infant radiant warmers, T2 is utilized as a radiant
temperature sensor.
For testing infant radiant warmers, T2 is clipped to the underside of the
radiant baby adapter that is provided. The radiant baby adapter is a stand-
alone circular-shaped piece that simulates the absorption properties of an
infant. This adapter must be placed on top of the INCU when testing. Align
the adapter with the heater in the warmer.
Other temperature sensors (T1, T3) may be used to monitor ambient
temperature conditions.
Figure 3-7 shows the placement of the INCU in an infant warmer.
Figure 3-8 shows the placement of a radiant baby adapter on top of the
INCU.
