The Giraffe OmniBed is a specialized neonatal microenvironment that combines the capabilities of a full-featured incubator and an open-bed radiant warmer into a single hybrid unit. By allowing clinicians to convert the device between modes in seconds with the touch of a button, it eliminates the need to transfer infants between different pieces of equipment, which helps reduce infant stress and potential physiological instability.
Key Features
-
Hybrid Versatility: The unit provides the thermal advantages of a double-walled, servo-controlled incubator and the accessibility of a radiant warmer.
-
Developmental Care: It features a patented rotating "Baby Susan" mattress that allows for 360-degree rotation, enabling caregivers to position the infant easily for procedures without causing unnecessary stress.
-
Thermal Management: The system uses a cascade control algorithm to minimize temperature fluctuations and provides a "Comfort Zone" thermal guidance display for optimal settings. It also includes a servo-controlled humidity system to support the infant's environment.
-
Clinical Access: The canopy can be raised with a one-touch control or foot pedal, converting the unit into an open warmer while providing clinicians with instant, unobstructed access to the patient. Side panels can also be removed entirely for family-centered care, such as Kangaroo Care.
-
Ease of Use: The system includes a 10.4-inch color touchscreen display for monitoring patient parameters, trended data, and system settings.
-
Integrated Tools: It features an internal bed tilt (up to 12 degrees) for Trendelenburg positioning and an optional in-bed scale for weighing infants without moving them.
