Testing and Evaluation of the International Biomedical, Inc., Model 185M, Airborne Life Support System.

Abstract

The International Biomedical, Inc., Model 185M, Airborne Life Support System (ALSS) is an infant transport incubator. It provides an environment to sustain an infant's life support requirements while being transported. The ALSS's standard infant chamber circulates heated air and comes equipped with one main door, one head door, and two hand ports. The ALSS's main door allows access for infant placement inside the infant chamber as well as further access for medical care. To prevent excessive heat loss, the main door has hand ports to allow infant care without opening the main door. The ALSS provides medical grade oxygen using "B" size tanks secured underneath the unit. The unit operates off of 115 VAC/60 and 400 Hz and internal rechargeable battery. The unit weighs approximately 86.9 lbs. Its dimensions are 40.0 in. W. X 19 5/8 in. H. X 22 1/2 in. D.
