IEC 60601-2-19 and IEC 60601-2-21

IEC 60601-2-19 covers infant incubators; IEC 60601-2-21 covers infant radiant warmers; IEC 60601-2-20 covers transport incubators. They set requirements for temperature control and uniformity, overshoot after a door opening, air velocity over the mattress, sound level inside the hood, oxygen and humidity where fitted, and over-temperature cut-outs independent of the controller. An incubator analyser with five probes on the mattress is the tool used to check them.
