Infants ??????????

Premature infants are babies born prior to thenormal 36 or 37 days, so they are unable tocontrol there temperature with the newenvironment and also they could have some

problems with their respiratory systems so asthe 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 asneeded 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 ofhumidity was low the baby's skin will be dry and cause a lot ofhealth problems to him.

Humidity probe: hum idi ty t ransdu cer.

Humidity transducers principle is the capacitive changing types thatmean any change in humidity will cause a change in capacitive andthe change in capacitive will be translated to a change in voltage using

bridge circuit.
