8.7.1 Overview of kangaroo mode
In kangaroo mode, the patient is warmed by the parent's body heat instead of the
device. Place the patient on the mother's or the father's naked breast. To prevent
heat loss, also cover the patient with a blanket.
8.7.2 Incubator operation
Once kangaroo mode is activated, the incubator operates in air temperature mode
and the incubator air temperature set point is controlled using the air temperature
sensor. When switching from air temperature mode to kangaroo mode, all settings
remain unchanged and active. When switching from skin temperature mode to
kangaroo mode, the current incubator temperature is used as the air temperature
set point (limited to 37 °C). All other settings remain unchanged and active.
Settings adopted from the previously set mode:
– Air temperature
– Humidity
– Oxygen (Optional)
Depending on the patient, kangarooing may last for several minutes or hours. When
the patient is returned to the incubator and kangaroo mode has ended, the
incubator resumes the warming therapy mode and settings that were active before
kangaroo mode.
After switching to kangaroo mode, the following alarms are inhibited for
4 minutes:
– Low Air Temperature
– Low Humidity
–LowOxygen%
– Central Skin Temp Low
– Peripheral Skin Temp Low
– SkinTempDiffHigh
– SkinTempDiffLow
