Bistos BT-550 Infant Warmer

Description

Design and Protection Mechanism: Overhead Radiant Warmer Configuration The Bistos BT-550 is a robust, mobile overhead infant warmer designed to deliver precise, non-contact radiant heat to stabilize the body temperature of premature infants, low-birth-weight newborns, or those recovering from procedures in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), delivery suites, and pediatric wards. Constructed with a durable ABS plastic frame and stainless steel components for corrosion resistance and easy wipe-down, it features a lockable four-wheel base (150 mm casters) for smooth mobility and stability. The open-bed design with removable, transparent side walls (foldable down 90°) enhances caregiver access while preventing falls, and integrated safety rails ensure containment. Overheat protection automatically reduces output if skin temperature exceeds setpoints by 1°C, with audible/visual alarms for deviations, complying with IEC 60601-1 and ISO 13485 standards for neonatal safety.

Performance and Temperature Control: Employs servo-controlled infrared ceramic heating (300W) for uniform radiant warmth, maintaining skin temperatures from 30–39°C (±0.3°C accuracy) in Baby Mode via probe feedback—if the infant’s temperature drops below setpoint, the heater ramps up to compensate, ensuring stability within 10 minutes of activation. Manual Mode allows fixed output (0–100%), while Pre-Warm Mode preheats the bed to 37°C in <5 minutes. The tilting mattress (±10°) and height adjustment (85–125 cm) optimize positioning, with low noise (<55 dB) from the quiet fan-assisted convection to minimize stress on fragile neonates.

Bed Surface and Accessibility: The spacious ceramic-coated bed (68 × 82 cm) accommodates infants up to 5 kg, with an integrated X-ray tray (removable, 0.5 mm acrylic) for imaging without relocation. The 360° swivel heater head tilts 0–45° for targeted coverage over the torso, and foldable side guards (35 cm high) drop fully for procedures like intubation. Optional integrated scale (0–15 kg, 10 g resolution) weighs in real-time, and SpO2 module clips to the rail for concurrent monitoring, enhancing workflow in multi-task environments.

User Interface and Operational Features: Features a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen displaying skin/set temperatures, power output (%), timer, and APGAR prompts (tones at 1, 5, 10 minutes for newborn assessment). Intuitive modes switch via soft keys, with multilingual support (up to 8 languages, including English and Korean) and one-touch trends for up to 72-hour history. The APGAR timer integrates with the display for seamless scoring, while remote alarm silencing and bed tilt controls are accessible from the panel. Battery backup sustains alarms for 2 hours during outages.

Sterilization and Maintenance: The non-porous bed surface and removable panels disinfect with 70% isopropyl or hypochlorite solutions, with autoclavable mattress covers (121°C). The heater element self-cleans via high-heat cycle, and modular probes/scales detach for sterilization. Self-diagnostics run at startup, alerting for sensor faults or heater degradation; annual calibration via USB verifies accuracy (±0.2°C). The fan filter replaces every 6 months, with a 3-year warranty on core components for low-maintenance reliability.

Electrical and Environmental Specifications: Powered by AC 100–240V/50–60Hz at 350W with universal input and surge protection. Operates in 10–40°C ambient with ≤80% RH, featuring IPX3 fluid ingress resistance. Low EMI shielding prevents interference with monitors, and energy-efficient ceramic elements consume 50% less power than quartz models.

Dimensions and Portability: Overall: 1,200 × 750 × 1,250–1,500 mm (L × W × H) weighs 45 kg, with a compact foldable design for storage (reduces to 0.8 m height). Four lockable casters enable easy transport between rooms; quick-release mounts adapt to incubators or walls in <5 minutes.

• Throughput and Workflow: Supports continuous 24-hour care for 1–2 infants, with <1-minute mode switches for shift handovers.
• Detection and Monitoring: Skin probe (±0.1°C) and optional SpO2/scale; logs 1,000 sessions for audits.
• Detection Principle: Infrared ceramic radiant heat with servo feedback for closed-loop thermoregulation.
• Additional Features: X-ray tray; APGAR integration; probe holder; optional phototherapy mount.
• Data Storage: 72-hour trends exportable via USB in CSV.
• Application Modes: NICU stabilization, delivery warming, post-op recovery; compatible with ventilators.
