Air-Shields TI500 Globe-Trotter Features

The Dräger TI500 Globe-Trotter® Neonatal Transport System combines all the technology of the Dräger TI500 Transport System with additional features for an improved level of care during transport.

Integrated ventilation support
The Dräger TI500 Globe-Trotter Neonatal Transport System is designed to transport infants in a thermally neutral environment and also provides integrated ventilatory support. Your system can be configured with ventilation and oxygen analyzers to meet the specific needs of each patient.

Front-mounted Controls
In addition to the incubator controls, all ventilator, tank gauges, and gas-related controls are front-mounted for quick access and heightened visibility.

Auxiliary flow meter
An auxiliary flowmeter is standard on the system, with an additional hand circuit to allow manual resuscitation if necessary. This enables you to ventilate twins in one incubator.

Air compressor option
Of all the leading neonatal transport systems, the TI500 Globe-Trotter is the only one that has the option of an integrated air compressor. This allows you to deliver medical-grade air while eliminating the need to carry air tanks.

Double Wall.
Skin Temperature Probes.
Examination Lamp.
2 Quiet Touch Port Doors and 2 Access Doors.
1 Iris Port.

General Information About Incubators

What is an incubator?

Used mainly to keep a baby’s core temperature stable at 37 degrees Celsius.
Also humidifies the air
Can add extra oxygen.

Physiology

Core temperature of the body needs to be kept at a constant temperature of 37 degrees Celsius
If temperature goes too high or too low - organs can be damaged
Premature babies have undeveloped nervous systems and also lack the energy to regulate their own temperature – the need for an incubator
Small babies can be given a small amount of food for growth. Need for use of all of their energy for growth rather than wasting it on keeping warm - so sometimes incubator is used to help them grow faster

Indications of Use

Prematurity
Congenital feebleness - Infants of fair size are sometimes born weak and with poor resistance, shown by subnormal temperature, slight cyanosis, tendency to edema
Edema - Premature infants are not seldom subject to a general edema, beginning at the feet. Incubator is the quickest way to relieve the condition
Cyanosis, with or without edema, due to feeble circulation, is very common with small infants, and sometimes present with those at full term. Warm, moistened, oxygenated air of incubator does wonders in these cases
Subnormal temperature
After difficult operative deliveries, the baby is often in a condition of shock leading to asphyxia. Violent efforts to revive it should be limited to a minimum, and the infant placed as soon as possible in the incubator

Working with an incubator,/p>

The temperature in the incubator is increased/decreased by a heater element below the mattress in the chamber
Motor driven fan near the heater draws in fresh air through a filter and blows it past the heater, warming the air
Air is directed up through slots into the area above the mattress and circulated around
Air temperature is monitored by temperature sensors (Air Temperature Sensor) and is adjusted by controlling the current to the heater
Incubator can also monitor the baby’s skin temperature by using a skin temperature probe (Patient Probe), which is stuck onto the skin
User can either set the incubator to control the temperature of the air or to control the temperature of the baby’s skin (servo control mode)
Supplementary oxygen can be taken in by an oxygen inlet connection where it is mixed with the fresh air through the filter
Humidity can be increased by the use of water baths (passive humidification) or by dripping water on a heated element (active humidification)
Baby is cared for through special access doors called arm ports.

Types of Incubators

Regular Incubators
Where there is minimal mobility
Used in hospitals
Clinics
Transport Incubators
An advance infant health care equipment for the care of infant patients
Typically include an incubator provided with a wheeled base which is equipped with life support and monitoring instrumentation, oxygen tanks and other emergency care supplies
Used for moving ill or injured infants to hospital and have proven valuable in sustaining the lives of infants during transport
Used in Ambulances, Air Planes etc. for transport of infant
