An infant warming system can include a platform for supporting an infant, a pulse oximeter device configured to determine an SpO.sub.2 for the infant, and a processor configured to determine one or more activation thresholds for the infant, wherein the one or more activation thresholds represent one or more target saturation levels for the infant. The processor can also compare the SpO2 for the infant to the one or more target saturation levels, adjust a display on a display device based on the comparisons, and generate a care instruction for a care stage based on the SpO2 of the infant.

An infant warming system includes a platform for supporting an infant, a resuscitation measurement device for measuring a tidal volume (TV) of the infant, and a processor configured to compare the TV for the infant to a first TV threshold, and generate a first care instruction for a first care stage via a user interface based on the TV of the infant.

A method for controlling an actuator system of a medical device comprises receiving a sensor signal, which indicates a deformation, detected by means of a sensor, of an actuating element on actuation thereof by a foot and/or a hand; and generating a control signal for controlling the actuator system using the sensor signal.

The present invention relates to infant incubators with heated walls. The infant incubator (1) comprises a base (2), a mattress (3) arranged on the base (2), a triple walled hood (4) surrounding said base (2) to enclose an infant compartment (5), and a triple walled access door (6) pivotally mounted to the base (2). The triple walled hood (4) and the triple walled access door (6) comprises an inner wall (7), an intermediate wall (8) and an external wall (9) spaced apart from each other so that an inner space (10) and an outer space (11) are formed on each side of the intermediate wall (8). The inner space (10) and the outer space (11) are fluidly connected to each other by means of openings (12) in the intermediate wall (8) so that a warm gas flow (14) is provided within the inner space (10) and the outer space (11).

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing safe and effective access for a newborn infant, i.e. a neonate, to a neonatal warming device while the umbilical cord is still intact. The apparatus comprises a stable support extension tray that enables movement of the mattress and the warmed surface of the warming device to allow for delayed cord clamping (DCC) of an umbilical cord attached to the infant and mother, while also providing full access to the life support features housed within the warming device, access for healthcare personnel to attend to the neonate, access for healthcare personnel to attend to the mother while maintaining sterile conditions for the mother in the case of a C-section (Caesarean section) delivery.

A neonatal incubator system includes an enclosure having side panels that create a chamber that receives an infant. At least one of the side panels is movable between an upright closed position and a retracted open position. A side panel latch assembly is positioned to permit and prevent movement of the movable side panel between the open and closed positions. The side panel latch assembly includes a movable latch lever having a primary latch member and a secondary latch member that are spaced from each other. The primary latch member engages a first catch on a latch receptable to hold the side panel latch assembly in the latched position. The secondary latch member engages a second catch on the latch receptacle when the side panel is partially open. The primary and secondary latch members move together with the latch lever to release both the primary and secondary latch members.

A system for determining a state of an infant care station includes an image sensor through which a first image is captured, a computer processor, and a memory device. The memory device includes instructions executable by the computer processor to determine, based on the first image, a first spatial relationship between a first predetermined point of a first feature that is captured in the first image, and a second predetermined point of a second feature that is captured, and a second spatial relationship between the first predetermined point of the first feature and a third predetermined point of a third feature that is captured. Additionally, the instructions are executable to determine the state of the infant care station based on the first and second spatial relationships. The state of the infant care station indicates whether the walls of the infant care station are latched.
