The IEC standards reflect the best experience of the industry, researchers, consumers, and regulators worldwide. The standards help establish a universal and uniform testing procedure for biomedical/clinical, service, and design engineers to use, and are critical in helping properly assess the safety of medical devices and ensuring patient safety¹. The procedures called out in the testing/service manuals of many medical device manufacturers are often built around these standards.

The pucks were designed specifically to the IEC 60601-2-21 standards for Radiant Warmer testing. The standard calls for the material, circumference, mass, and density of the pucks. The pucks are made of aluminum, which allow them to absorb heat from the radiant warmer.

Because the pucks add quite a bit of additional weight, and we realize that incubators and radiant warmers may not be tested at the same time, we have created a separate carrying case for the pucks.

There are two models available: Non-wireless (4722635) and Wireless (4722620). Wireless is not available in all countries, and some customers specifically request non-wireless for their facility, so a non-wireless version was made available. Although a non-wireless unit can be upgraded to a wireless version if desired and permitted in your country, wireless cannot be "turned off" once it is activated. Thus the need for two different models.

After the initial "stabilizing" period of the airflow probe, the INCU II will then display the airflow measurement. If the airflow inside the test environment is at or over 2.1 m/sec, the INCU II will display "OL", meaning the airflow is above the outer limit. Keep in mind that according to IEC 60601-2-19, 2-20, and 2-21 standards, an acceptable airflow measurement is at or below 0.35 m/sec.
