HUMIDIFICATION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INFANT CARE APPARATUS

摘要

An infant care apparatus (10) for supporting an infant upon an infant platfo rm (12) having a humidification control system. The user can initially select a manu al mode where the humidity is inputted through a user input (24) to control the humidity within an infant compartment (14). The system has an automatic mode where the user can then input humidity levels and a successive time periods to establish a protocol for controlling the humidity within the infant compartment (14) over the time period the infant is being treated within the infant care apparatus (10). Each successi ve time period inputted by the user has a different humidity level associated herewith. As a further feature, there is an evaluation system to monitor whether the infant has been overstressed by any of the automatic reductions in the levels of humidity.
