The Giraffe Incubator is an Infant Incubator. Incubators provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. They achieve this by providing an enclosed temperature controlled environment to the infant. This device may incorporate a Servo Controlled Oxygen Delivery System. This is indicated to provide a stable oxygen concentration within the infant compartment at the value set by the operator (21-65%).

The Giraffe Incubator is an infant bed, which provides thermal support for infants who are unable to provide for their own heat requirements. The device maintains the infant's temperature by circulating heated air within the enclosed bed compartment. The operator may select either the air or skin temperature control method. Depending on the control method selected, heat is regulated based on either the air temperature or the infant's skin temperature compared to the operator selected control temperature. Physical access to the patient is obtained through the side portholes or by opening one of the side doors. The optional Giraffe Servo Control Oxygen Delivery System is a fully integrated option available on the Giraffe Incubator. The Giraffe Servo Control Oxygen Delivery System is capable of oxygenating the entire infant compartment at oxygen concentrations of 21%-65% by volume. The device uses fuel cell type sensors that generate specific voltages depending on the oxygen concentrations they contact. The microprocessor stores the sensor output and compares it with the value corresponding to the concentration set by the operator. The valves that supply oxygen to the infant compartment are opened and closed as necessary to maintain the oxygen concentration at the set value. Fluctuations in fuel cell performance due to temperature and humidity are compensated for by the microprocessor. The Giraffe and Panda Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides a short term source of electrical power to the Giraffe Incubator, thus aiding its intra hospital mobility. The Giraffe UPS does not change the indications for use, control mechanisms, operating principles, performance specifications, or other features of the Giraffe Incubator. The UPS serves as an extension to the Giraffe Incubator by providing uninterrupted electric power to the device. The UPS comprises a medical grade battery and a shelf. When used with the UPS, the Giraffe Incubator is not intended for use as transport incubator or to be taken outside of the hospital building. The proposed modification of the Giraffe Incubator is the addition of the Giraffe Shuttle accessory. The Giraffe Incubator can be used with the Giraffe Shuttle, a mobile power source that allows for transport of the patient between care areas within the hospital building and provides power to the Incubator. These areas include, but are not limited to Labor and Delivery, NICU, Radiology, and Operating Room. This eliminates the need to transfer the infant to and from a transport incubator for transport within the hospital building, reducing the potential for clinical problems associated with patient touch, handling and movement. This reduces the potential for clinical problems associated with intra-hospital transport that result from interrupted patient thermal regulation. . Similarly to the UPS accessory, the Shuttle facilitates the mobility of the Giraffe Incubator within the hospital building. Giraffe Incubator when used with the UPS or with the Shuttle is not a transport incubator and is not intended to be used outside of the hospital building. The Shuttle has two primary active functions: Locking to a bed and providing transportable power to the bed and accessories. Attaching the Shuttle to a bed is accomplished by guiding the Shuttle between the legs of the bed and stepping on the Lock pedal. This effectively locks the Shuttle and bed together as one unit. To detach the Shuttle from the bed, the locking arms are rotated back to their unlocked position by stepping on the Unlock pedal. Once unlocked, the Shuttle can be moved away from the bed. The internal power source of the Shuttle consists of two 12 volt 42 amp hour lead acid batteries. The batteries are high capacity, sealed, no-maintenance batteries and are connected in series to provide a nominal 24 volts supply to the power generation module. The Shuttle contains two sensor systems: - One system detects an interference condition. - The other system determines the attaching status of the device. The Shuttle features an LED Display Board, which contains the battery runtime indicator and the battery health indicator.
