GE Panda iRes Warmer Operation And Maintenance Manual page 42

WARNING:
Use Baby Mode unless Manual Mode is specifically prescribed. While both modes require
patient monitoring, Manual Mode requires constant attention. In Manual Mode, you must
take the responsibility for detecting changes in the environment (high air flow, direct
sunlight, phototherapy lamp usage, etc.) or the patient's condition and make heater power
adjustments in response to these changes. In Baby Mode, the warmer automatically adjusts
heater output to maintain the desired skin temperature, reducing (but not eliminating) the
need to monitor the patient and make adjustments to the Baby Mode control temperature.
WARNING:
Do not leave the baby unattended while any bedside panels are lowered or removed.
WARNING:
When bedside panels are in an upright position, ensure that the bedside panels are properly
locked in place.
WARNING:
The patient probe is not isolated from earth ground. Any additional equipment used with the
Panda Warmer must comply with IEC 601.
WARNING:
Bed-to-heater spacing less than approximately 85 cm will result in incorrect operation and
may adversely affect the patient's condition.
WARNING:
Do not place objects in the radiant heat path. Objects will be heated and could block heat
to the baby.
WARNING:
Do not hang items from the heater head.
WARNING:
Do not connect unapproved equipment into accessory outlets.
