Indiana University Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana needed a solution. They called upon us to design and build an Infant Care Module that could be installed into their existing contractor installed 24" deep cabinets. The brand new facility was to open soon and they had no room to store a free-standing Infant Care System in their new LDRs.

We were quick to respond to their dilemma. We interviewed the nursing staff to determine what important criteria we had to meet. We interviewed the Construction Contractor to determine dimensional information and placement of existing mechanicals such as Medical Gases, Suction, and Electrical Power. We worked with Administration to tie all information together and fit into project budget.

What we developed was a Cabinet Insert that includes a Murphy Style Bed with integrated Battery Operated Weighing Scale and a Draeger Wall Mounted Infant Warmer.

The Pull Down Murphy Style Bed has four drop side panels for easy access to the infant and 3-positition tilt for Trendelenberg and Reverse-Trendelenberg.

The Scale has auto zero, last weight memory, digital display in pounds or kilograms, auto off and battery operation.

The Infant Warmer was supplied by Draeger Medical. This cabinet can be adapted to work with most Infant Warmers available from Draeger Medical, GE Medical, and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.

This Infant MBWS Module can be constructed from materials to match existing or proposed contractor installed cabinets. In this installation we matched the Plastic Laminate used throughout the LDR. We can match with wood such as Oak, Birch, Maple and Cherry. The Infant MBWS Module can be purchased with or without the closed cabinet.
