Neonatal care system

An infant incubator keeps a closed environment around a premature or sick baby with the right temperature and humidity, plus oxygen when needed. One incubator is not enough for a neonatal unit. It also needs transport incubators, an open warmed station for initial resuscitation, phototherapy lamps as well as cribs for healthy babies. All of this is in this section of the Finer catalog, mostly by Fanem or GINEVRI.

What does a neonatal care system include?

The core of the unit is stationary incubators for long-term care. Transfers between departments or hospitals need transport incubators with their own power supply. The delivery room gets an open resuscitation station with an infrared warmer, which keeps the baby warm while the doctors work. Treating jaundice calls for phototherapy lamps and a device to monitor bilirubin. Healthy babies sleep in hospital bassinets next to their mothers. A patient monitor with neonatal sensors usually stands next to the incubator, and pulse oximeters are available separately. For non-invasive breathing support there are the Bubble CPAP FOG 2140 and FOG 2140A humidifiers by Fanem.

How do you choose an infant incubator?

Start with the unit. Intensive care for premature babies requires precise control of air and skin temperature along with humidity and oxygen, while a ward for sick newborns can often manage with a simpler model. Next comes access to the baby: the number of doors and hand ports, how the hood opens, whether the trolley height adjusts. A nurse opens the incubator dozens of times per shift, so every small inconvenience adds up.

Incubators are disinfected regularly, so check how the bed and mattress come out and what the housing is made of. A one-piece housing with no joints, like the one on OGB Polytrend, is quicker to clean. A transport incubator needs its own power supply and a secure vehicle mount, with room for manual ventilation. Also think about how many places the unit needs and whether there will be transfers, because that decides the balance between stationary and transport models.

Which incubators and transport units are in the Finer catalog?

Stationary incubators include the Fanem 1186 A incubator, Fanem 1186 C and Vision Advanced 2286, as well as the OGB Polytrend neonatal incubator on casters with a housing of solid polycarbonate. Some models have servo-controlled active humidification. For transfers there is IT 158 TS, with or without the BABYPUFF manual ventilator, plus the Baby Shuttle transport incubator. An open resuscitation station is built around the Ampla 2085 Color infrared warmer. For healthy babies and rooming-in there are the Koala crib plus the 007V OVAL BABY or Panda hospital bassinets. All incubators are grouped on the Infant incubators page.

Which phototherapy equipment is in the catalog?

For treating jaundice there is the Bilitron Sky 5006 system, the Bilitron Bed 4006 unit plus the Bilitron 3006 lamp by Fanem. GINEVRI offers the Elios lamp, which combines phototherapy with warming, Mizar with a double lamp above and below, and Antares for warming. Some lamps use Super-LED technology, and light intensity is checked with an integrated radiometer. Bilirubin during treatment is monitored with blood tests, while a transcutaneous bilirubin meter gives an estimate without pricking the skin. The catalog has the BiliCare neonatal bilirubinometer.

Where to buy an infant incubator?

Maternity hospitals and neonatal units have been equipped by Finer Ukraine LLC since 2015. Prices for part of this section are shown on the site, while other items get a written quote. Its cost depends on the configuration: servo control and humidification, the trolley, plus spare mattresses or sensors. Tell us which unit you are equipping, how many places it needs and whether there will be transfers. Our doctors and engineers will then put together a list with nothing extra and prepare the tender documents. After delivery they start up the incubators and train the nurses. A whole neonatal unit can be equipped as one of our turnkey solutions, and other equipment is in the Diagnostic equipment section. You can reach us on 0 800 334 585 or through the feedback form on the contacts page.

FAQ

1. What does the price of a bilirubin meter depend on?

On the measuring method and configuration, as well as the purchase volume. The Finer catalog has the BiliCare transcutaneous bilirubin meter, which measures bilirubin through the skin without drawing blood, and we state its price in the quote. If several departments need meters, tell us the number and we will quote the whole volume.

2. What is an open resuscitation system for newborns?

An open bed with an infrared warmer above it, such as the Ampla 2085 Color by Fanem. It stands in the delivery room for initial resuscitation: the baby stays warm while doctors have free access from every side. Long-term care needs a closed incubator instead.

3. Which neonatal phototherapy lamp should you choose?

It depends on where the baby lies. The Bilitron 3006 lamp shines from above, Bilitron Bed 4006 from below, and the Bilitron Sky 5006 system combines phototherapy with a bed. Elios by GINEVRI adds warming, while Mizar shines from above as well as below. Super-LED lamp intensity is checked with an integrated radiometer.

4. What is a transcutaneous bilirubin meter?

A device that measures bilirubin through the baby's skin, without drawing blood. It makes daily jaundice checks easy, leaving blood tests for doubtful cases. The Finer catalog has the BiliCare transcutaneous bilirubin meter.

5. What is neonatal phototherapy for?

Light of a certain spectrum helps treat newborn jaundice: under it, bilirubin in the skin turns into a form the body clears more easily. The catalog has Bilitron phototherapy lamps and systems by Fanem, while the Elios and Mizar lamps by Ginevri combine warming with phototherapy.
