The Phoenix Infant Radiant Warmer was developed by the Phoenix company in India (Phoenix, 2011). The device can be used in different environments in the hospital, including the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The device, used to treat infants suffering from severe heat loss, allows the infant’s bed to be uniformly heated. It has a sensitive thermostat that does not require calibration prior to use. It is mobile, and it can be battery operated. It is designed such that the base can slide under other hospital equipment.
The company has also developed the Phoenix Open Care Warmer (OCW100). As with the OCW100, the open care warmer has a sensitive thermostat that does not require calibration prior to use, it is mobile, and it can be battery operated. However, the device is less expensive and it is made to withstand harsher conditions. The device’s open structure allows the health care provider to access the newborn from any side and it has a lamp which allows the health care provider to observe the newborn.
