Infant warming system and method
An infant warming system includes a body temperature probe, a peripheral temperature probe, and at least two identical input jacks, each input jack configured to receive either one of the first connector or the second connector. The body temperature probe has a body temperature sensor removably fixable to an infant's torso to measure a body temperature of the infant, and a first connector configured to connect to an input jack to transmit the body temperature measurement. The peripheral temperature probe includes a peripheral temperature sensor removably fixable to the infant's extremity to measure a peripheral temperature of the infant, and a second connector configured to connect to an input jack to transmit the peripheral temperature measurement. The system further includes a probe detection module to automatically detect whether each input jack is connected to the peripheral temperature probe or the body temperature probe.

Pressurization of a support structure for handling of a person
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for controlling the pressurization of a support structure for handling of a person, the support structure comprising: a body comprising a row of at least two elongated sections adapted to be pressurized; a carrier plate, wherein, in a pressurized loaded condition of one or more of the elongated sections, the carrier plate is adapted to form an at least partially concavely curved front surface; a power unit adapted to pressurize one or more parts of the support structure individually via a respective valve; one or more sensors adapted to measure movements of the person and/or variations or deviations in pressurized parts of the support structure; and a controller configured to control the power unit to pressurize each part of the support structure that is adapted to be pressurized individually, based at least on sensor measurement data from the one or more sensors.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING ENTHALPY WITH SECONDARY MECHANISMS
An interactive enthalpy exchange system for infant care includes a pouch for receiving an infant, and a heat source arranged in the pouch. The heat source includes a first heat source and a second heat source different from the first heat source. Control circuitry is operatively coupled to the heat source, the control circuitry configured to control interactive enthalpy between the first heat source and the second heat source to maintain a temperature within the pouch at a prescribed temperature.

Incubator assembly and associated control apparatus that controls humidity rate
An improved incubator and control apparatus include separate temperature and humidity control loops wherein a commanded temperature and a commanded relative humidity (RH) value are commanded to the control apparatus via a user interface. The control apparatus employs a humidifier rate saturation controller which acts responsive to both a humidity control signal and a current temperature to regulate the addition of humidity to the air within the incubator assembly to avoid a transient humidity from exceeding a predetermined value and thereby avoiding the generation of condensation within the incubator.
