Drager Caleo

INFANT INCUBATOR WITH MATTRESS

THERMOREGULATION
IT MAINTAINS A TEMPERATURE ANDPRECISE AND CONSTANT MOISTURE

Infants whose birth weight is extremely low, are particularly vulnerable
to hypothermia.
When these infants do the experience of heat loss, the answers
physiological conditions create a higher demand than normal physiological balance.
This is due to the fact that the infant needs to spend energy and metabolize oxygen
to produce the heat

This thermal imbalance can cause a heat loss and cause a reaction in chain
with long term effects like hypothermia.
The latter can cause a fall blood pressure, reduce the plasma volume,
reduce cardiac output.2 If nothing is done, can cause permanent damage
to tissues and to the brain, even death

For a fragile newborn, a difference of one degree can change everything.
The thermoregulation capacities Caleo have been clinically documented
to meet the specific needs of the premature baby.

If the ideal is to be able to maintain the premature in
an environment protected from any disturbance,
in fact, clinicians need to have access to
baby to do the necessary care. This may
affect the baby significantly. For example,
in premature infants weighing less than 1500 g, the
peripheral and central temperature would drop during
care for 15 to 45 minutes and then it would take
until two hours to the baby to find his
initial temperature

The ultimate goal of closed care is to create a
environment so stable that babies whose weight
is very weak, can keep a temperature
constant body. This state is called zone
thermally neutral. Because of the inability of these
infants to withstand temperature changes,
Caleo was designed using technologies
advanced to stabilize the internal environment
during the interventions. The following graphs
expose these abilities.

GOOD ACCESSIBILITY OF BABY WITHOUT COMPROMISE THE ENVIRONMENT
During a nurse's call, one may have to
perform many care procedures,
such as the placement of an umbilical catheter, intubation,
performing a chest X-ray, manipulating
infusion, repositioning and aspiration, this
which requires repeatedly opening the incubator
to access the baby. The exclusive JumboPorts ™,
40% bigger than portholes,
allow easy access to the infant during
interventions.

Caleo directly offsets the decline in
temperature due to opening, creating a new
type of double air curtain that helps maintain
stable temperature and humidity, even during
routine procedures. The double air curtain allows
at Caleo to better maintain thermal stability
than any other system tested.

BE READY FOR THE NEXT PATIENT
As we are generally not warned in advance of the admission of very low weight infants, a
Hot incubator must be available at all times for an unexpected delivery.5

That is why it is essential to have a incubator capable of heating quickly. In an in vitro comparison of the heating appliances, the Caleo has been heating up faster and better conserve heat and moisture, even when portholes were open.

PROVIDE IDEAL MOISTURE
The humidity inside the incubator is essential to prevent the loss of transepidermal water
(TEWL) in premature babies. The table below illustrates the exponential relationship between gestational age and transepidermal water loss first day after birth. In very large premature, the TEWL gradually decreases and the
TEWL difference between the most premature and
term infants decrease with age. same
four weeks after birth, the TEWL is
always twice as high in the first.

INSTANTANEOUS DETECTION OF VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE
On the thermograph of a premature baby, we observe
significant differences in temperature according to
parts of the body. The central temperature of the
infant is not the same in all tissues and
organs and it's usually the brain that is the most
hot. Temperature measurement in one point
to what extent a baby is fit to
keep this temperature but does not inform on
the energy spent on this thermoregulation.
Only Caleo offers a true ThermoMonitoring
by measuring, documenting and displaying both the
central and peripheral temperature. So you
can see the precise moment when a baby is exposed to
hypothermia and remedy it in time.

HEAT BALANCE, EASY TO LEARN
Dräger created Heat Balance, a simple way and interactive for caregivers to learn about
different types of heat loss affect the baby and how to use the settings
Caleo to create the most thermally neutral possible.

This training tool simulates thermal equilibrium
infants in an incubator and shows
the incidence of different types of wastage and
heat gain. Based on the algorithms
known physics for heat loss and
on the documented clinical experience, it shows
how Caleo maintains thermal stability.
This program also shows the importance of
all parameters to balance the temperature
premature babies.

As the Heat Balance is an application for
smartphone, it can be used wherever and whenever
any time for training.

DEVELOPMENT CARE
ALLOW CENTERED CARE ON THE FAMILY
Research shows that care centered on
family have significant advantages for the
premature7, including improved well-being,
better mental health prognosis, a duration of
reduced stay and a better parent-infant relationship.
The Caleo offers a kangaroo mode allowing you
to continue to monitor the baby's temperature
during contact care and temperature control
in the incubator according to the baby's temperature for
allow a smooth return to an environment ideal.
• Low height adjustment (80 cm / 31.5 inches) for mothers in wheelchairs following childbirth or caesarean section.
• Large access portholes to allow parents easy access to the infant in a closed care environment, allowing them to participate in the care of their child.
• Large unobstructed hood to allow good visibility of the baby. The lid material is scratch resistant and designed with angles
rounded to remove visual distortions.
• A form of cocoon, less intimidating and more welcoming for parents experiencing
the intensive care unit for the first time. It is possible to move the monitor so that it does not
not obstruction and so to distance the technique from the
mother's face for a more human bond.

A SILENT ENVIRONMENT
It is essential for the proper development of
Premature than the sound levels in the Care Unit
Neonatal intensities are low.8 Caleo represents
a major breakthrough especially because it maintains the
sound level as low as possible. It is designed to
to reduce disruptions that could interrupt
natural rhythms of sleep, to have an impact on the
development of the nervous system and cause
cochlear damage.
• A silent cabin: the Caleo and all its
components were designed to work from
quiet way and at an internal sound level
low (less than 47 dbA). It allows an air speed
low around the infant (less than 8 cm / s), this
which means a quiet environment with a sound
minimal ambient. A study conducted by the Duke
University showed that Caleo was significantly more
silent than all other incubators tested.9
• An intelligent alarm: the sound comes from a
speaker located remote from the infant and he is
designed to gradually accelerate as a
carillon. Intelligent, the alarm can be set to
8 different sound levels and identified by
lights of different colors.
• Silent portholes: unlike most
incubator windows, so noisy they
disturb the baby, the portholes of Caleo are ultra
silent on opening and closing.
• Silent tilt: the Caleo can be tilted
to keep the cabin away from current sources
air and noise in the NICU. A setting of the
silent height: the adjustment mechanism of the
Caleo's height is very quiet and allows
to make the necessary adjustments between two
guards in all discretion.

FACILITATE ADEQUATE POSITIONING
The proper positioning of the infant is essential
for its postural development and that of
locomotive functions that result. The
Caleo positioning accessories help the baby
to maintain a stable posture despite gravity
• SoftBed Mattress - specifically designed for
reduce the pressure on the skin of the
infant, the mattress is viscoelastic foam
and has a breathable blanket
comfortable for the baby in his basket.
• Hug it, the Nest and Pillows - these accessories are
specially designed to provide stability
physiological, confinement and support to the baby.
They can also be additional help
for the clinician during the procedures.
MANAGEMENT OF BRIGHTNESS LEVELS
We suspect that bright light is not part of
the environment in utero. If light is
necessary for care, the light levels must be
to be under control for the well-being of the baby.
• A suitable lamp cover: provides a
effective protection against unwanted light and
dangerous, by imitating the natural environment of
premature and providing them with a safe haven
they need to live and grow.
• 3 levels of gradation: the Caleo features a
dimming range on the control board so
reduce lighting during night watch.
• Check out Dräger's other offerings like
Circadian lighting system, which simulates the
variation of sunlight during the
day and helps maintain circadian rhythms
so important for you and your patients.

ACCESSIBILITY AND SIMPLICITY
Caleo also has characteristics
reducing unnecessary contact with the baby,
which would be additional stimuli.
We have configured these options for ease
of maximum use, so that you can
focus on the essentials: the baby.
• Access portholes: the Caleo has on the
two sides of the doors ultralight and easy
use.
• The side doors: these large doors on the
sides of the Caleo open, giving a
additional access for procedures like
ultrasound.
• The hood: in case of emergency, it can be lifted
from one side or the other.
• The extractable mattress: it allows easy access to
baby when needed even when the Caleo is
in an inclined position.
• The integrated radiography tray: it allows a
easy access to the baby without disturbing him.
• Exclusive JumboPorts ™: 40% bigger than
ordinary portholes, they open silently and
have an ergonomic design to facilitate the
care during an intervention. The mechanism
port opening, placed in the center, facilitates
the opening of the two portholes simultaneously with a
only one hand or one elbow.
• The tilt function: it allows to tilt in
softness at the touch of a button.
• Adjustable height: it allows adjustment in
sweetness from one side or the other.
• The positionable control panel: it is
possible to position the control board
where it best serves your workflow.
• Touch-Turn-Confirm: for quick and easy use
Easy.

MEASURES OF ASEPSY AND SECURITY
Hygiene in the incubator is therefore imperative.
This is why one of the key objectives of the Caleo's design was to protect the baby
against nosocomial infections.
• Closed loop moisture system: prevents the microorganisms present in the air to enter
in the cockpit.
• High temperature cleaning mode: the mode high temperature cleaning at 110 ° C disinfects
unit and removes the residual water in the internal mechanism.
• Narrow closures and angled cockpit rounded prevent bacteria from accumulating
in delicate places.
• Minimal design in terms of parts: with only 11 components in total, it facilitates the
cleaning and allows systematic disinfection.

SECURITY FUNCTIONS
When designing Caleo, the priority was given to the protection of the baby by measures of
security. Special functions and mechanisms have been implemented to avoid aggravating the stress of the baby and allow carers to focus on daily care.
• Automatic self-tests: the Caleo tests the whole electronic systems, sensors and functions. It is monitored every eight minutes, this which ensures the security of the entire system.
• Quality sensors: the quality of the sensors Dräger guarantees the reliability of measured values
displayed: "you see what you really have. "
• No higher temperatures: thanks to innovative concept of double air curtain, there is no
need higher temperatures to reach excellent performance with times of
minimal heating.
• Thermal screen technology: it limits the outlet temperature at 45 ° C maximum,guaranteeing a maximum surface temperature 43 ° C on all tangible parts.
• Unobstructed portholes: the inclination of the bed does not obstruct the portholes because the entire capsule is moves, giving access in any position.
• Locks on walls: caregiver can not leave the incubator without having locked the walls because a spring mechanism prevents them from staying straight if they are not locked.
