Incubator Features

The GE Giraffe OmniBed is a richly-featured neonatal microenvironment that combines the thermal advantages of a double-walled incubator with the access advantages of an open bed radiant warmer. Conversion between an incubator and an open bed warmer happens in seconds with a touch of a button. In either open or closed bed operation, the GE OmniBed provides a precise microprocessor controlled thermal support.

Stress on the infant, staff, and family members is reduced by eliminating the need to transfer the baby between incubators and warmers. Less equipment is now required for caregiving, cleaning, service, and storage. The Giraffe pioneered developmentally appropriate features including the patented Baby Susan rotating mattress and internal bed tilt. This feature enhances productivity by allowing the caregiver to properly position the baby for clinical procedures and to effortlessly facilitate family bonding. The GE OmniBed Incubator combines two traditional infant care products in one. A fully-featured Giraffe OmniBed incubator and a radiant warmer in one. Protects from heat loss while the bi-directional maintains thermal stability. An infant receives uniform heat regardless of position.

  • OmniBed Incubator with an Air Curtain to protect from heat loss
  • Radiant warmer that provides consistent heat in any position
  • A consistent and controlled thermal environment
  • Improved access to patient
  • A less stressful environment for the patient and family
  • No need to transfer a patient from incubator to infant warmer
  • 360-degree rotating patient mattress
  • Drop down removable doors and rotating bed provide easy access In-Bed scale

GE Incubator and Infant Warmer

Demo and Refurbished

The Giraffe OmniBed has two control modes when used as either an incubator or an infant warmer. When the compartment is closed, the Giraffe OmniBed controls the inside temperature. This can compare air temperatures from the probe in the compartment wall to a setting you enter using the control panel. Clinicians can also use this machine to compare the temperature on the baby’s skin instead of the wall inside the compartment. With the canopy open, the OmniBed transforms into an infant warmer using a radiant heater. You can control the temperature of the Giraffe OmniBed, when set up as an infant warmer, with either manual mode, or baby mode. Baby mode controls the temperature of the warmer using a probe attached to the baby’s skin.

Patient Controls and Displays

The display and controls are located at the top of the upright at the head of the Giraffe OmniBed incubator/infant warmer. The display and control panel on the Giraffe Omnibed can be divided into two areas: on the left are the buttons and numeric temperature displays that control the temperature regulation of the infant. On the right are the graphics display screen and a control knob that controls all accessory options attached to the OmniBed. Temperatures can be shown in Celsius or Fahrenheit, but the default is Celsius.

Temperature Regulation

When the clinician starts up the system, it prompts you to select the control modes. The OmniBed has a 2-hour memory for the last used settings, so if it was used in the last 2 hours, it will ask you if you would like to retain the settings you previously used. If you are using the OmniBed as an incubator, you have to select either baby or air mode. If you are usingit as a warmer, you have to select either baby or manual mode. If you start the warmer with the canopy open, or open the compartment during the first ten minutes after startup, and do not select a control mode, the graphics screen will show the “Warm Up Mode” message and the radiant heater will run at 100% power. When 10 minutes have elapsed, and you still have not selected a control mode, the graphics display will show the “Preheat Zone” message and the radiant heater will run at the preheat level which is set at 25% power.

Incubator Operation

Air Control Mode

When Air Control Mode is active, the Air Mode indicator will light up. This is in the shape of a fan. Two temperature values are shown in the lower third of the display: the temperature measure by the compartment probe, and the value shown in smaller numerals in the air set temperature. The set temperature can be adjusted using the temperature/power buttons located on the left of the mode buttons. The temperature can be set from 68 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Baby Control Mode

When Baby Control Mode is active, the Baby Mode indicator will light up. This is in the shape of a gingerbread man. Two temperature values are shown in the upper third of the display: the value shown in larger numerals at the top is the temperature measured by the probe on the infant’s skin, the value shown below in smaller numerals is the baby set temperature, which can be adjusted by using the temperature/power buttons located at the left of the mode buttons. Temperature settings can be set from 95 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Boost Air Curtain

If the GE Giraffe is being operated as an incubator, and the doors will be open for an extended length of time; pushing the boost air curtain button increases the fan speed and improves the open door thermal performance. A light will be indicated on the button when this mode is active. Remember, running the ran at a higher speed will raise the noise level in the infant compartment. To deactivate the Boost Air Curtain mode, push the button again to resume Whisper Quiet mode. This mode will automatically shut off after twenty minutes and the indicator light will go out.

Warmer Operation

Manual Control Mode

The Manual Mode Indicator light activates when the manual mode is selected. This button looks like a warmer radiating heat. The power setting is indicated by a bar graph LED in the middle third of the display. The percentage of power can be adjusted in 5% increments using the temperature/power buttons located to the left of the mode buttons.

Baby Control Mode

The Baby Mode indicator light will light up when Baby Mode is selected. Two temperature values are shown in the upper third of the display: the value shown in larger numerals at the top is the temperature measured by the probe on the infant’s skin, the value shown below in smaller numerals is the baby set temperature. The set temperature can be adjusted using the temperature/power buttons located to the left of the mode buttons.

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 – need for an OmniBed incubator
  • Small babies can be given small amount of food for growing. Need for use of all of their energy for growth rather than wasting it on keeping warm - so sometimes the Giraffe incubator is used to help them grow faster
Parameters Controlled
  • Temperature
  • Oxygen
  • Humidity levels
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. An 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 Giraffe 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 OmniBed incubator
Working with an Incubator
  • The temperature in the OmniBed 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
  • The Giraffe 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 Giraffe 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 Incubator
  • 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 the transport of infant
