The Isolette 8000

The new Isolette 8000 is the latest model in Dräger’s respected Isolette series of infant incubators that introduced innovations such as the patented Dual Air Curtain, known from the Isolette C2000. ‘This thermal management capability, which is also part of the Isolette 8000, reduces radiant heat loss from the infant and contributes to a cocoon-like environment, where the neonate can thrive,’ the firm explains.

‘In addition, the Isolette 8000 offers continuous monitoring of both central and peripheral body temperature for the baby. By monitoring both temperatures, caregivers are better able to anticipate the baby’s changing needs.’

Supported by the compact design of the evaporation chamber, additional humidification can be precisely regulated if required, the manufacturer adds. ‘The new Condensation Management System removes the condensate from the incubator compartment and separates it from the clean water supply. This feature supports infection control practices and enables a more hygienic approach.’
The Isolette 8000’s versatile design was conceived to fit into ever more congested and busy neonatal intensive care units (NICUs): the shape is compact and with small footprint, so doctors and nurses can easily access critical babies for minor or major interventions. The equipment is also highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces and around sharp corners.

Cleaning: The Isolette 8000 has been designed with fewer parts, thus taking less time to cleanse than many of the incubators on the market, Dräger points out. ‘Its humidity system can easily be autoclaved and sterilised to keep pace with infection control practices.’
