Performance characteristics of two double-walled infant incubators.
Two double-walled incubators, the Air Shields C-100 and the Ohio IC, were evaluated for performance characteristics. The Ohio incubator heated more rapidly from room temperature to 36 degrees C, but overshot the preset air temperature and produced greater fluctuation in air temperature due to the operation of the servocontrol system at equilibrium. Neither incubator produced excessive air currents, sound levels, or carbon dioxide accumulation.
