Product
Giraffe Incubator Ohmeda Medical Giraffe Incubator-The Giraffe Incubator is an infant incubator. Incubators provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. They achieve this by providing an enclosed temperature controlled environment for the infant. This device may incorporate a Servo Controlled Oxygen Delivery System. This is indicated to provide a stable oxygen concentration within the infant compartment at the value set by the operator (21-65%).
Reason for recall
Certain power cords could overheat. The affected power cords were manufactured by Electric-Cord and are referred to as Taller Bridge power cords. The overheating of the power cord could result in fire, charring, smoke, or sparking where the power cord connects to the wall outlet which could cause thermal injury.
