BLF-2001 incubators are micro-computer controlled. When switched on, a hardware and software self-test is launched. Possible errors are indicated on the graphic display. The trends and values measured every 3 or 24 or 170 hours can be retrieved from the memory of the incubator. The incubator may be connected to an external computer (by means of a software programme to be purchased separately), enabling monitoring and remote control, as well as the saving and printing of measured values and trends (optional).
The display of the BLF-2001 incubator is easy to read even from distance, indicating the following data, depending on the configuration:
- temperature of air in the hood
- humidity of air in the hood
- baby’s skin temperature (optional)
- oxygen concentration (optional)
- weight (optional)
- second body temperature (optional)
The temperature control ranges of the incubator are as follows:
- in normal mode of operation in the case of ‘air control’ 27-37°C in the case of skin control 34-36°C.
- ln ‘override’ operation in the case of ‘air control’ 37-39°C, in the case of ‘skin control’ 36-38°C.
