Patent ID: 6884211

Claim:
A medical device, comprising: a neonatal capsule hermetically closed to prevent contamination of the child by the external environment, said neonatal capsule being connected to an air feeding means for alimenting the newborn child within the capsule with sterile air; a tempered air closed circuit enclosing said neonatal capsule, the circuit comprising a dome composed of two concentric layers defining an intra-dome space therebetween, through which tempered air can circulate, the tempered air closed circuit further comprising a thermal base container complementarily connected to the dome, said thermal base container comprising a fan and an electric heater so as to generate tempered air circulation within the intra-dome space to maintain the temperature in an intermediate artificial environment created between the neonatal capsule and the tempered air closed circuit; a continuous ventilation circuit to administer a continuous and regulated air flow of filtered, oxygenated, tempered and humidified air to the newborn child inside the neonatal capsule, said continuous ventilation circuit comprising an air line and an oxygen line, both connected to a gas collector line, the collector line being connected to the neonatal capsule to feed air thereto, the continuous ventilation circuit further comprising a mixture outlet line to allow gas to exit from said neonatal capsule; and access means providing access inside said neonatal capsule from the exterior environment.
