A neonatal incubator system includes a platform configured to support a neonate and an enclosure supported above the platform and configured to create a chamber around the neonate. The enclosure includes a movable side panel on a side of the enclosure openable to place the neonate on the platform enclosable to secure the neonate within the chamber. The enclosure also includes a latch engageable when the movable side panel is in a closed position and configured to maintain the movable side panel in the closed position, and also includes a biasing device configured to force the movable side panel away from the closed position when the latch is not engaged.

According to some aspects, a system configured to facilitate imaging an infant using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device is provided herein. The system comprises an infant-carrying apparatus comprising an infant support configured to support the infant and an isolette for positioning the infant relative to the MRI device, the isolette comprising: a base for supporting the infant-carrying apparatus; and a bottom surface configured to be coupled to the MRI device. In some embodiments, the infant-carrying apparatus further comprises at least one radio frequency (RF) coil coupled to the infant support and configured to be coupled to the MRI device to detect MR signals during imaging performed by the MRI device. A method for positioning an infant relative to an MRI device using an infant-carrying apparatus and isolette is further provided herein.

A transport incubator includes a support structure having a base provided with at least one first guide, and a housing structure coupled with the supporting structure. The housing structure includes a first portion having at least one first side panel slidably coupled with the first guide of the base, and a second portion laterally delimited by at least one first side wall, on which the at least one first side panel of the first portion slides.

A system configured to support growth and development of a premature fetus is disclosed. Specifically, a method and apparatus configured to provide extracorporeal support for premature fetuses is disclosed.

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.

A shock and vibration system for an infant care transport system with an enclosed infant care device. The shock and vibration system utilizes multiple damping systems that create a floating patient support system that allows the infant care device to move in the various axes of motion instead of being rigidly mounted to the frame or sub-frame, or any substructure.

A device (4) aligns and connects a housing hood (3) to a housing (2). The device (4) has a first connecting piece (5) and a second connecting piece (6). The first connecting piece (5) has a clamp bearing element (51) and the second connecting piece (6) has a lamella element (61). The lamella element (61) is arranged movably along the clamp bearing element (51). The device (4) has a clamping element (7) for clearance-free clamping the lamella element (61) with the clamp bearing element (51). An alignment of the hood (3) on a housing (2) can be carried out simply and rapidly and requires only weak clamping forces.

A thermotherapy device (1) includes a pivotable wall (2) and a pivoting device (3). The pivoting device (3) has a pivoting axis section (31) connected to the thermotherapy device. A locking element (32) is connected to the pivotable wall (2) and is mounted movably radially to the pivoting axis section (31) and pivotably about the pivoting axis section (31). A blocking element (33) and a holding module (34) for the blocking element (33) are provided. A contact element (35) is permanently connected to the locking element (32) for contacting the blocking element (33). The holding module (34) pushes the blocking element (33) between the pivoting axis section (31) and the contact element (35) when the locking element (32) is moved from a locked position, defined by a first distance to the pivoting axis section (31), into an unlocked position, defined by a second distance to the pivoting axis section (31).

An incubator comprising a mattress tray and a plurality of baby guards surrounding a vicinity of an outer periphery of the mattress tray, wherein: a first baby guard from out of the plurality of baby guards includes a grommet; the first baby guard is detachably attached to a first attachment location installed at a vicinity of the outer periphery of the mattress tray; a second baby guard from out of the plurality of baby guards is detachably attached to a second attachment location installed at a vicinity of the outer periphery of the mattress tray; and the first baby guard is detachable from the first attachment location and attachable to the second attachment location, and the second baby guard is detachable from the second attachment location and attachable to the first attachment location.
