A ventilation device installed on an infant incubator having a chamber of an infant, including: an exhaust part including an exhaust connect port connected to the chamber and an exhaust port communicated with the exhaust connect port; an air-supply part including an air-supply connect port connected to the chamber and an intake port of external air communicated with the air-supply connect port; at least one of an exhaust blower and an air-supply blower: the exhaust blower is provided at the exhaust part and generates an air stream flowing from the exhaust connect port toward the exhaust port, and the air-supply blower is provided at the air-supply part and generates an external-air stream flowing from the intake port of the external air toward the air-supply connect port: the air is exhausted from the chamber through the exhaust part, and the external air is supplied into the chamber through the air-supply part.

Ventilation device for infant incubator and infant incubator

An infant incubator including: an infant chamber in which an infant is placed; an air-supply passage for supplying supply-air to the infant chamber; and a heater equipment for heating the supply-air having a mount base which is mounted in the air-supply passage and a heater which is held to the mount base rotatably, wherein the heater has: a support part provided at a base end of the heater and supported by the mount base rotatably; and a heating part provided at a top end of the heater and heating the supply-air, and the heating part is formed by winding a heating-wire into a coil-shape and disposed so that an axial direction of the coil-shape is orthogonal to a flow direction of the supply-air passing through the air-supply passage.

Infant incubator

In an infant care apparatus according to this invention, heat rays are radiated from a heat radiation opening of a heater to a bed. The direction of the heat radiation opening can be changed from the first state in which the heat radiation opening substantially faces the bed to the second state in which the heat radiation opening does not substantially face the bed. According to the infant care apparatus of this invention, when the heater is not used, there is no possibility that the remaining heat of the heater is transferred to the infant laying on the bed. There is therefore no possibility that the infant will be unnecessarily overheated. There is no need to operate the heater and the like of the infant care apparatus in such a manner that the infant lying on the bed and surrounding people have feelings that rough operation is performed. This will keep the infant and the surrounding people free from adverse effects in terms of mental health.

Infant care apparatus

An incubator according to the present invention will be able to prevent accidents to the incubator itself or other devices, a doctor, a nurse or others causing external force even if the external force is applied to a canopy of a newborn chamber. An optical detector in a control mechanism detects application of external force to the canopy of the newborn chamber, and a signal output section in the control mechanism outputs a signal that renders a driving mechanism for lowering and raising the canopy non-operational when the application of external force is detected. Accordingly, even if external force is applied to the canopy by bump, contact, putting some object or others, the driving mechanism will not continue or start to lower or raise the canopy while the external force is applied to the canopy because the driving mechanism will be rendered non-operational.

Incubator

A Raman probe for measuring Raman spectrum includes an exciting-end light guiding path for guiding excitation light from a light source to a sample; a receiving light-guide path for guiding a light signal from said sample to a detector; a band-pass filter for passing said excitation light and blocking Raman-scattered light produced from said exciting-end light guiding path; a pipe for securing said band-pass filter inside said pipe, said pipe being mounted on a light-outgoing end of said exciting-end light guiding path; and an edge filter mounted on a light-incident end of said receiving light-guide path, said edge filter passing Raman-scattered light from said sample while blocking the excitation light. The edge filter is a short-wavelength transmitting filter that permits passage of wavelengths shorter than the excitation wavelength.
