A bassinet includes a base, a column assembly rotatably connected to the base at a first end of the column assembly, an arm rotatably connected to a second end of the column assembly, a tub frame pivotably connected to the arm, an infant tub retained within the tub frame, the infant tub including a front wall, a back wall, and two side walls and having areas of reduced height along the front wall and at least one of the side walls to provide enhanced access to the infants located within the infant tub, and an insert configured to reversibly fit within an interior of the infant tub.

A neonatal care system includes a base, a bassinet platform supported on the base, and a neonatal sleep device. The neonatal sleep device includes a frame structure connected to and extending upward from the bassinet platform, wherein the sling is suspended above the bassinet platform and configured to support a neonate. The neonatal care system further includes a heater configured to heat an environment surrounding the neonate supported in the sling.

An infant care apparatus cooler facilitates the cooling of components with elevated temperatures such as a convective heater in an infant care apparatus. The infant care apparatus includes an energy storage device and a fan. In the presence of an external source of power, the fan operates to circulate air to be heated by the heating coil and in the absence of external power, the fan is operable with energization from the energy storage device to circulate air past the heating coil, cooling the heating coil.

An infant care system comprises a platform configured to support an infant and to receive an applied force on the platform. The infant care system also comprises at least two load cells connected to the platform, each of the two load cells configured to receive at least a portion of the applied force on the platform and generate a signal indicative of the portion of applied force received. The infant care system also comprises a processor configured to receive and analyze the signals from the load cells and perform a function based on the analyzed signals.

A magnetic resonance system (MRS), useful for imaging a patient, comprising: (a) a magnetic resonance device (MRD) for imaging a patient, comprising an open bore, the MRD at least partially contained in an envelope comprising in its circumference at least one recess; and, (b) an MRI-safe cart made of MRI-safe material, comprising a substantially horizontal base and at least one substantially horizontal incubator above the base, the base and the incubator are interconnected by at least one pillar. At least a portion of the cart and the MRD are configured to fit together such that at least a portion of the incubator is reversibly housed within the MRD, and further at least a portion of the base is reversibly housed within at least one recess.

A trolley is provided for user in hospital settings, generally related to the maternity ward and newborn infants. The trolley has a height-adjustable platform which is connected to a base structure through a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism is used to raise and lower the height-adjustable platform as desired by an attending physician. To help an attending physician deliver and care for newborn infants, a resuscitation system, vacuum system, and accessory-receiving mount are also provided. Power is provided by a rechargeable battery which is placed in a power housing which is mounted to the base structure. The resuscitation system provides two gas tanks which are connected to a gas mixer and controlled by an associated module. The resuscitation system is able to provide specific gas mixtures for a newborn infant. The vacuum system aides with post birth cleaning, and other devices can be connected to the accessory-receiving mount as needed.

A maneuverable RF coil assembly, useful for being maneuvered at both positions: (i) over at least a portion of a neonate immobilized within a cradle at time of MR imaging; and (ii) below or aside the cradle when it is not required for imaging. The maneuverable RF coil assembly comprises at least one RF coil and maneuvering mechanism. The maneuvering mechanism comprises both: (i) a linear reciprocating mechanism for approaching or otherwise drawing away at least one coil to and from the neonate; and (ii) tilting mechanism for placing at least one coil away from the neonate.

An incubator includes an operation unit that enables an operator to operate a plurality of medical devices, a control unit, and a display unit capable of displaying each operation status of the medical devices and patient information. The operation unit includes a first operation unit which is operable by using a location other than a hand of the operator. The control unit includes selection means for selecting an operation of the medical device and allocating the medical device to the first operation unit, and execution means for executing the operation of the selected medical device. The selection means includes selection screen display means for causing the display unit to display a selection screen for allocating the operation of the medical device to the first operation unit, operation switching means for switching the operation of the medical device allocated to the first operation unit, when the first operation unit is repeatedly operated within a selected operation time, and operation confirmation means for confirming the selection of the medical device, when the first operation unit is operated beyond the selected operation time in a state where any one operation of the medical devices is allocated to the first operation unit.

A bassinet includes a base, a column assembly rotatably connected to the base at a first end of the column assembly, an arm rotatably connected to a second end of the column assembly, a tub frame pivotably connected to the arm, an infant tub retained within the tub frame, the infant tub including a front wall, a back wall, and two side walls and having areas of reduced height along the front wall and at least one of the side walls to provide enhanced access to the infant located within the infant tub, and an insert configured to reversibly fit within an interior of the infant tub.

A thermotherapy device (10), for new-born and premature babies, has a bed substructure (30) and an incubator chamber (20) with a positioning aid (50) in the incubator chamber (20). The positioning aid (50) is a flexible sheet fixed to a holding structure (60). The positioning aid (50) can be stretched out by the holding structure (60). The width to which the positioning aid (50) can be stretched out is adjustable by adjusting a width of the holding structure (60). The positioning aid (50) can be pulled and/or pivoted out of the incubator chamber (20) with the aid of the holding structure (60). The holding structure (60) is movably mounted in the bed substructure. The holding structure (60) has at least two pivotable holding arms (61). The two holding arms (61) form a holding arm pair.
