Incubator for newborn and prematurely born patients
First Claim
1. An incubator for newborn and premature patients which can be introduced into the magnetic field of an NMRI tomograph, with devices (6, 7, 11, 12, 20) for delivery and circulation of fresh air and a drive mechanism for these devices, and with devices (4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) for heating and humidifying the air, for regulating the temperature of said air, and for examining the patient, said devices (7, 9, 10, 11) being driven electrically and being arranged integrally on the incubator, and the air flowing into the patient space (1) at one or both long sides in such a way that one or two cylindrical air movements (18) are created in the patient space, and the air being suctioned off at the center of one end face.

Abstract
The inventive incubator for newborn and prematurely born patients, which can be introduced into the magnetic field of an NMR tomograph, is characterized in that the devices for the supply and circulation of fresh air, for heating and humidifying the air, for controlling the temperature thereof and for examining the patient are electrically driven and integrated into the incubator. The circulation of air in the room provided for the patient has one component extending in the longitudinal direction of the incubator and one or two components extending in a roller-type manner about the longitudinal axis.
