An infant incubator having a base (3) for supporting a premature baby; a hood (7) mounted on the base (3) to provide an incubation chamber (9) isolated from the atmosphere; a first duct (19) having a fan for circulating inner air through the incubation chamber (9); and a first heater (47) disposed on said first duct to provide a heated air; a second duct (21) branched from the first duct (19), and having a detachable humidifying vessel (15) for storing the water and combined through a shutter compartment (53) to the first duct (19) downstream of the humidifying vessel (15); a second heater (37) for heating the humidifying vessel (15); a first temperature sensor (57) to measure a chamber temperature in the incubation chamber; a second temperature sensor (39) to measure a water temperature in the humidifying vessel (15); and MPU (55) for controlling the second heater (37) based on the chamber temperature by the first temperature sensor (57) and the water temperature. The shutter compartment (53) is controlled to be moved by the predetermined amount associated with the second heater (37) being controlled to set the current water temperature to the predetermined water temperature in a lookup table, and when the vessel temperature gradually comes close to the predetermined vessel temperature, the mixing ratio is returned to the default ratio. |

A patient support system having an environmentally controlled area over the patient including a frame with a patient support thereon and a moveable canopy thereover. The support is generally rectangular and is provided with a vertical fluid curtain at its perimeter on each of its four sides. The four vertical curtains are deflected inwardly by the canopy to provide the environmentally controlled area over the patient and with a fluid return to the perimeter to provide a closed fluid path. The air curtains can be heated and/or have water vapor added thereto. An infrared heater is provided in the canopy for a second source of heat. An integrated control system is also provided. |

An in bed infant scale for use with an infant care center and which may be slid underneath the infant platform of the infant care center while the infant is positioned within the center and which causes little disruption to the infant. The infant scale is thus movable from infant care center to infant care center conveniently. The infant scale is easily slid into the infant care center and raises the infant platform on which the infant is positioned such that the infant platform is raised off of its position on its supporting frame and becomes fully supported on the infant scale. Thus the infant scale can weigh the infant platform and the infant resting on that infant platform. |

A handhole latch is disclosed for use with an infant incubator and which is damped by one or more elastomeric O-rings to reduce noise and vibration that could startle the infant. The O-rings are positioned between a moving piston latch and a housing such that the O-rings are sandwiched between the moving piston latch and the housing as the piston latch snaps, by spring bias, into its position holding the handhole door closed. |

A handhole for use on an incubator is disclosed and which comprises only two main components, an injection molded frame attachable to the incubator by hand tightened screws and an injection molded door that is hingedly attached to the frame to pivot between open and closed positions. A bump or projection is formed on the side of the door or flange between the door and frame such that when the door is in its closed position, the bump is caught between the frame and door to cause bending of the door. By location and size of the bump, the amount of bending can be determined such that, when unlatched, the door will spring open a predetermined amount. Thus, the door's flexibility causes initial opening thereof without the need for springs or other accessories. As an added feature, the injected molded frame may include a flange for attaching a conventional wristlet thereto. |

In a state where an incubator 3 is connected to an isolator 2 through a chamber 4 and opening/closing doors 11B and 12 are closed, a decontaminating gas G is supplied to the chamber 4 through gas supply passages 16 and 26, and an inside thereof is decontaminated (FIGS. 2(a), (b)).Subsequently, an air is supplied into the chamber 4 through the gas supply passages 16 and 26 and initial aeration is carried out by discharging a gas in the chamber 4 through a gas discharge passage 27 (FIG. 2(b)).Subsequently, after the opening/closing door 11B is opened, when both blowers B1 and B4 are stopped, the gas at a positive pressure in the isolator 2 is introduced into the chamber 4 (FIG. 2(c)). Thus, the gas containing the decontaminating gas G in the chamber 4 is rapidly discharged to an outside through the gas supply passages 26 and 16 and the gas discharge passage 27, and aeration in the chamber 4 is completed.Time required for the aeration of the chamber 4 can be drastically reduced as compared with before. |

A sterilization and humidification apparatus includes a heating chamber, a filter and a humidification chamber. The heating chamber heats a gas so as to sterilize the gas. The humidification chamber is adapted so that a liquid, which has been filtered by the filter, evaporates into the sterilized gas, thereby causing the sterilized gas to cool, and outputting a humidified gas at a desired temperature. The apparatus may include a bypass chamber to provide a path for the gas to bypass the humidification chamber. The apparatus may be adapted particularly for use in an incubator. |
