Infant Incubator 1

Infant incubators provide warmth, humidity, oxygen, and temperature control in a controlled environment for premature infants. They use proportional control methods to regulate temperature through automatic heating and cooling. Sensors monitor parameters like temperature, humidity, respiration rates, and oxygen levels, and alarms notify caregivers of any issues. Incubators come in different types for intensive care, transporting infants, or providing radiant warmth.

Infant Incubator

Infants ??????????

Premature infants are babies born prior to the normal 36 or 37 days, so they are unable to control there temperature with the new environment and also they could have some problems with their respiratory systems so as the heart diseases. Heat is lost via evaporative, conductive, convective and radiative means as shown in figure (1).

What is Infant Incubator


Infant incubator is a biomedical device which provides warmth, humidity, and oxygen all in a controlled environment as needed by the new born. It can be consider as therapy device.

Parameters Control in Infant Incubator

Temperature control.
Air temperature mode Skin temperature mode

Humidity control.

Humidity is defined as the percent of water evaporated molecules in the air. This is important for an infant baby, because if level of humidity was low the baby's skin will be dry and cause a lot of health problems to him.

Humidity probe:
humidity transducer. Humidity transducers principle is the capacitive changing types that mean any change in humidity will cause a change in capacitive and the change in capacitive will be translated to a change in voltage using bridge circuit.

Oxygen control:
