A neonatal infant incubator apparatus (10) and a control system module (17), and methods and systems for using the control system module to control the microenvironment of the contained space (16) of the infant incubator apparatus (10). The neonatal infant incubator apparatus (10) including a collapsible frame (12) and a disposable housing (14) to create a closed contained space (16) with a controlled microenvironment. The control system module (17) is comprises a battery (32) and is configured to operate with low voltage; the control system module (17) configured to control the microenvironment, including regulating the temperature and gas composition, of the contained space (16), and includes an air circulation system (72) in air and/or fluid communication with the contained space (16). The systems, apparatus and methods are suitable for containing a full-term or premature infant in need of care in areas where power sources are limited, including e.g., rural or remote regions, third world countries, in a regular clinical setting and/or for transportation of the infant.

A pediatric magnetic resonance (MRI) system and sub-system are provided. The pediatric MRI system includes a magnet-gradient assembly, an RF shield-body coil assembly and a pediatric MRI sub-system. The pediatric MRI sub-system includes an infant warmer or isolette having a patient section for accommodating a patient. The infant warmer is positionable relative to the magnet-gradient-body coil assembly of the pediatric MRI system. The pediatric MRI sub-system also includes a warming mattress arranged within the patient section of the infant warmer. The infant warming mattress includes an interior space filled at least partially with a host medium and a conduction heating system at least partially arranged in the interior space to conduct heat to the interior space of the infant warming mattress. The pediatric MRI system also includes at least one local radio frequency (RF) coil that is positionable within the patient section of the infant warmer.

The present disclosure relates to temperature sensor devices for measuring the internal body temperature of a patient, as well as methods of using the same. A benefit to the temperature sensor devices can be providing for the accurate and continuous measurement and monitoring of the internal body temperature of a patient. Another benefit to the temperature sensor devices can be providing an ability to measure and monitor the internal body temperature of a patient in a hygienic and safe manner. Additional benefits to the temperature sensor devices can be providing power efficient, cost effective, compact, and convenient devices for measuring the internal body temperature of a patient.

A bassinette for a neonatal care system includes a frame structure with at least one vertical a support member extending downward from a top support member. A sling is suspended from the top support member and configured to support a neonate. The sling comprises a pressure-diffusing netting material extending from a top end to a bottom end between opposing lateral sides. A heating coil may be configured to heat the neonate supported on the sling, and a sling controller may be secured to the frame and configured to selectively control the heating coil to heat the neonate. Additionally, a plurality of stretchable conductive electrodes may extend through the pressure-diffusing netting material and may be configured to acquire physiological signals from the neonate. The stretchable conductive electrodes may be configured to communicate the physiological signals from the plurality of conductive electrodes to a sling controller.

The present invention provides an elongated active thermo-regulated neonatal transportable incubator (ANTI), having a main longitudinal axis with a proximal end and an opposite distal end comprising adjacent to at least one of the ends a temperature regulating vent (TRV). The TRV is configured to stream air from one end towards the opposite end substantially along the axis, and the ANTI is configured, by means of size and shape, to accommodate the neonate in parallel to the axis. Further the ANTI can be configured by means of size shape and material to at least partially inserted into an MRD having an open bore in its longitudinal axis, further accommodating the neonate parallel to the MRD bore. An incubator with a temperature regulating vent located outside the incubator and its base.
