Panda Incubator gives sick newborns great care, hope

-

ONCE an infant enters the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ( NICU), the first rush of pain dawns upon their immediate family. There’s no denying that it’s difficult to watch a fragile baby get tucked inside an incubator, transporte­d to a room full of big equipment, and be separated from their parents. However, it’s one of the sad realities people in hospitals must face every day.

Studies show newborns are the most unstable patients. They can easily acquire viruses and other diseases.

In order to provide optimum care for the babies, NICU nurses must ensure every machine in the area is not just functionin­g but also effective, like the Panda Incubator.

Innovative yet intuitive, GE Healthcare’s new Panda Incubator is easy to operate. Its compact, flexible design combines the clinical support that can be relied on with the stable thermal performanc­e babies need. Nurses may consider it another warm and helping hand. With it, they can confidentl­y manage a highvolume NICU and special care nurseries, redefining simplicity and reimaginin­g operations.

“The Panda Incubator makes use of precise thermoregu­lation with specific time frames for every procedure. It also has 50 percent fewer parts for cleaning than comparable models, making it possible to be disassembl­ed and reassemble­d easily, ensuring increased staff productivi­ty,” GE Healthcare said in a statement.

“Abiding by technology demands, this incubator uses a smartphone- like user interface, context- specific alarm and patient- based temperatur­e suggestion­s that allow staff to be trained quickly and focus their attention on patient care,” it added.

GE Healthcare’s Panda Incubator is exclusivel­y distribute­d by HealthSolu­tions Enterprise­s Inc., the country’s one- stopshop for high quality medical equipment, devices and supplies, and clinical diagnostic­s.
