Newborns immediately after birth are at risk of being affected by falling body temperature and the loss of moisture through evaporation from their skin.
High levels or moisture is also lost from the respiratory tract, therefore LBW infants can become more susceptible to respiratory complications and infection.
It is therefore necessary to provide a warm humid environment to protect LBW infants.
However, an infant incubator that always draws in air from the outside tends to provide a dry environment due to the difference in temperatures inside and outside the incubator.

For this reason, we introduced a steam system with a structurally designed humidity chamber so that users can quickly adjust the humidity inside the incubator to a specified level.
As a result, it is now possible to maintain high humidification - a state with relative humidity over 90% - with the interior of the incubator kept at a high temperature.
All components (e.g., humidity chamber) of the humidification circuit are removable and can be easily cleaned and disinfected. For that reason, our incubators are highly regarded by clinicians.

Oxygen is essential to sustain human life.
LBW infants with immature lung function receive smaller amounts of oxygen through breathing, require increased respiratory effort, and use more energy as a result.

By providing an environment with an oxygen concentration that is higher than normal, it is possible to reduce the amount of energy required by the infant to breathe. As a matter of course, the administration of excessive oxygen may generate harmful effects.
It is important to keep the appropriate oxygen levels constant according to each infant's condition.

Therefore, we developed a precise flow controller (Mass Flow Valve) that enables users to carefully control oxygen concentration.

As LBW infants are often kept inside a high temperature, high humidity incubator, the inner wall of the hood often becomes fogged with condensation, which reduces visibility. This makes it difficult to observe the infants through the hood, or care for them.
However, the environmental conditions inside the incubator cannot become stable if the hood is opened to observe the infant's condition every time it becomes obscured due to condensation.

Atom Medical's infant incubator reduces condensation forming on the inner wall of the hood due to the hood’s structure, as well as the fact that air circulated by the air curtain flows along the walls creating the visibility required to observe infants and provide them with medical attention.
The trend graph feature visualizing the environment inside the incubator enables you to observe changes in temperature, humidity, oxygen level, and body temperature in one display screen.
These innovations and features are important not only for healthcare professionals but also for family members to help them communicate with their infants.
