INFANT WARMING SYSTEMS

摘要

Infant warming systems are described herein generally comprising a temperature regulation assembly which encloses a phase change material (PCM). The temperature regulation assembly may be initially heated (or re-heated) by water contained within a heating assembly and then placed within a retaining pouch of an infant bedding. The PCM may then provide constant heat over a period of time to the infant. A control/indicator interface coupled to the regulation assembly may constantly monitor the temperature of the PCM as well as the ambient temperature to provide one or more indications or alerts to the user with respect to one of several states of the warming assembly.

主权项

1. A temperature regulation assembly for regulating temperature of an infant, comprising:
a phase change material which changes between a liquid phase and a solid phase within a predetermined temperature range; at least one temperature sensor in thermal communication with the phase change material; and a control/indicator interface in communication with the at least one temperature sensor, the interface being programmed to provide an indication or alert to a user when the phase change material is within the predetermined temperature range.
