The following section provides an overview of the Embrace Nest with a brief functional description
of each of the above components.
3.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

As stated earlier, the Embrace Nest consists of three components: AccuTemp Heater, WarmPak
and BabyWrap.
The AccuTemp Heater is used to heat the WarmPak to operating temperature (defined below).
This heated WarmPak serves as the source of warmth in the Embrace Nest.
The BabyWrap serves as an interface to ensure good thermal contact between the newborn and
the WarmPak, and to offer additional insulation to the ventral surface of the newborn.
The heated WarmPak is inserted into the WarmPak compartment of the BabyWrap. The
newborn is secured in the newborn compartment of the BabyWrap. The device (heated
WarmPak + BabyWrap) thus prepared may now be used to provide thermoregulatory support to
the newborn.
For in-clinic usage, it is recommended to use two WarmPaks in tandem, one after the other (one
being warmed in the AccuTemp Heater, while the other is being used on the newborn). This way
the newborn can be provided with a continuous supply of heat.
Page 10
3.2 ACCUTEMP HEATER

The AccuTemp Heater warms the
WarmPak to the operating temperature 4.
This is the only component of the Embrace
Nest that requires access to an AC power
source. It can however also be run off of a
generator or any alternate AC power source
that can provide a 230 V AC supply.
AccuTemp Heater design features

The AccuTemp Heater uses a sophisticated proportional control mechanism to ensure the
WarmPak is heated to the operating temperature (between 37 C and 40 C) and is not, under any
circumstances, overheated (greater than 41 C).
Under normal operating conditions 5 it takes approximately 35 minutes for the AccuTemp Heater to
heat the WarmPak to the operating temperature.
Automatically resumes heating in case of power outage
Ever-ready technology ensures heated WarmPak always ready for use
Simple one-button operation
Built-in safety features
It is engineered to operate with minimal maintenance and is robust enough to withstand most
power surges and fluctuations.
In the case of a deviation from regular operation, the AccuTemp Heater will inform the user of an
error through its inbuilt alarms and indicators. For more information on safety features and alarms,
please refer to 4.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACCUTEMP HEATER and 4.4 ERROR INDICATORS
FOR THE ACCUTEMP HEATER.
NOTE
Heating times will vary with varying input voltage. In brown out conditions with lower voltage
supply, the heating cycle may take significantly longer than 35 minutes.
Heating times will also vary as the WarmPak ages, and the water level in the WarmPak is
reduced. Heating cycle may take significantly longer than 35 minutes.

WARNING
It is important to only use the Embrace AccuTemp Heater to warm the WarmPak in order to
avoid over-heating of the WarmPak. Do not use any other method to heat up the WarmPak.
AccuTemp Heater user interface

The Start/Stop button should be pushed to initiate the heating cycle, when the user wants to heat
up the WarmPak. The same button can be used to interrupt the heating cycle.
The progress of the heating cycle is monitored using the two indicators on the lid that indicate when
the heating cycle is in progress and when the WarmPak is ready. The amber HEATING CYCLE ON
indicator will light up when the heating process is on.
The clear viewing window allows the user to perform a quick visual check on the progress of heating.
Once ready, the AccuTemp Heater will beep two times once when ready, and once a minute after
being ready. The green WARMPAK READY indicator will remain illuminated.
The AccuTemp Heater will provide heat to maintain the WarmPak at the operating temperature,
as long as the AccuTemp Heater remains switched on and the green Ready indicator is still
illuminated.
In case of a power outage, the AccuTemp Heater automatically resumes its heating cycle when the
power returns.
NOTE
Pressing the Start/Stop button or opening the lid will turn off the AccuTemp Heater cycle and the
cycle must be re-initiated (by pressing the button again) in order to maintain the WarmPak
temperature. Refer to the figure below.
Start/Stop Button - Push this button to start or
stop the heating cycle.

Viewing Window Transparent window to
observe the progress of
WarmPak heating.
3.3 WARMPAK
The WarmPak absorbs heat from the AccuTemp
Heater, and slowly releases this heat over a period
of time to the newborn, when placed in the
BabyWrap. Under normal operating conditions,
over a period of at least 4 hours, the WarmPak
will provide a warm surface for the newborn to lie
on. Once heated there is no need of power supply
to provide warmth. The WarmPak thus provides a
passive source of heat to the newborn, without any
electricity near the newborn.
WarmPak design features
The WarmPak is made of heat resistant polyurethane. It has two compartments: one
containing PCM and the other containing water.
When the WarmPak is heated using the AccuTemp Heater the PCM melts and stores
energy. When the heated WarmPak is placed inside the BabyWrap, it slowly releases the
stored heat energy to the newborn, through the water layer.
The PCM has been specially engineered to release or absorb heat at the operating
temperature.
Page 13
The water layer eliminates the presence of hotspots, and thus provides a surface of uniform
heat to the newborn.
Several safety features have been engineered into the WarmPak:
The polyurethane cover has a high melting point in excess of 120 oC and is at no risk of
melting, as the temperature of the AccuTemp Heater surface does not rise beyond 85o C
during normal operation.
The WarmPak does not have any electrical circuits providing an additional element of
safety from electrical hazards.
The WarmPak is a passive heat source, thus once heated and removed from the AccuTemp
Heater, it cannot get any hotter, thus greatly mitigating the risk of overheating the newborn.
Some other unique design features of the WarmPak are:
User-friendly indicator displays WarmPak readiness
Certified non-toxic materials
Convenient SIM-card design for ease of orientation
NOTE
The heat-providing capacity of the WarmPak, mentioned here and elsewhere in the document,
depends on factors such as weight and health of the newborn and operating conditions.
The WarmPak, when in the BabyWrap, has been proven through bench tests to maintain the
operating temperature for at least four hours at an ambient temperature of 25 C.
Lower ambient temperatures may cause faster heat loss from the WarmPak, thereby reducing the
usable duration.
Embrace Innovations recommends that the user must bear in mind all these factors when using the
WarmPak and periodically check the temperature indicator of the WarmPak and closely monitor
the vital signs of the newborn placed in the BabyWrap.
Page 14
WarmPak user interface

The SIM-card shaped
WarmPak makes it
easy to align it in the
right position inside the
AccuTemp Heater.
The WarmPak
Temperature Indicator
indicates to the user if
the WarmPak can be
used or if it needs to
be reheated.
The SIM-card shape also serves

to help the user in correctly
orienting the WarmPak when
placing it into the BabyWrap.
The WarmPak has two layers

a water layer and the PCM layer.
Whenever placing the
WarmPak either into the
AccuTemp Heater, or into the
BabyWrap, ensure that the
water layer is facing up.
Page 15
3.4 WARMPAK TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

The WarmPak contains a WarmPak temperature indicator at the bottom left hand corner. The
function of the WarmPak temperature indicator is to alert the user to the feasibility of use of the
WarmPak.
WarmPak temperature indicator design features

The temperature indicator has been positioned such that it will be visible to the user ONLY when the
WarmPak is correctly inserted into the BabyWrap, as seen below.
The WarmPak temperature indicator alerts the user to potentially hazardous situations, if the user
has over-heated the WarmPak. The indicator also serves to indicate to the user when the
WarmPak is at the right temperature and may be used, and when it has run out of stored heat, and
needs to be reheated.
WarmPak temperature indicator user interface

The WarmPak temperature indicator will display one of three states:
Page 16
OK TO USE STATE: When the WarmPak is within the correct operating temperature range,
the temperature indicator bar will be in the OK region as shown on the left. This indicates that
the WarmPak is ready to use, and can be placed into the BabyWrap.
TOO COLD STATE: When the WarmPak has given up all the stored heat energy, and drops
below the operating temperature threshold, the temperature indicator bar will be in the TOO
COLD region as shown on the left. This indicates that the WarmPak has run out of energy,
and must be immediately removed from the BabyWrap. The WarmPak will need to be
recharged in the AccuTemp Heater before it can be re-used.
TOO HOT STATE: There is a third state that will not be seen if the WarmPak is used
correctly as indicated with the AccuTemp Heater.
In the event that the heater malfunctions due to improper use, or an alternate heating method
is used to heat the WarmPak, the WarmPak temperature may rise above 41 C. The
WarmPak indicator will be as shown on the left.
This indicates to the user that the WarmPak is too hot to be used, and under no
circumstances should the WarmPak be used, if the overheating indicator is displayed.
WARNING
It is important to pay careful attention to the WarmPak temperature indicator. The WarmPak
must be used only if the temperature indicator indicates that the WarmPak is ready for use.
When in use for warming newborns, it is important to observe the temperature indicator at regular
intervals (every 30 minutes) to ensure that the WarmPak is within the operating temperature.
Page 17
3.5 BABYWRAP
The BabyWrap has compartments that hold
the newborn and the heated WarmPak, and
ensure that the two are in good thermal contact
with each other. The BabyWrap also traps the
heat from the WarmPak and provides a warm,
insulating microclimate to the newborn.
The contour of the BabyWrap fits snugly
around the newborn and the tapered ends
prevent accidental slipping. The spacious,
insulated hood region minimizes risk of
suffocation, while at the same time controlling
heat loss through the head.
The BabyWrap has been engineered to minimize heat loss from the WarmPak to the
surroundings, thus ensuring that the WarmPak stays effective for a long time.
BabyWrap design features
The BabyWrap is reusable and easy to sanitize with a disinfecting cotton swab.
The WarmPak compartment is heavily insulated on the outside to minimize heat loss from
the WarmPak. The flaps that cover the newborn also are sufficiently insulated so as to
minimize heat loss, and trap the heat, creating a warm microclimate for the newborn.
The WarmPak compartment is also made of waterproof material. In the event the
WarmPak were to develop a leak, the newborn would be protected from being exposed to
the contents of the WarmPak.
The thin fabric between the newborn and the WarmPak compartment facilitates maximum
heat transfer from the WarmPak to the newborn in the BabyWrap.
The newborn compartment is made of fluid-proof, bacteria-resistant, skin-safe TPU fabric.
The inner surface of the newborn compartment has been designed to minimize seams, and
potential dirt traps.
The BabyWrap is compatible with oxygen and IV lines. It also has an observation window
to facilitate newborn monitoring.

4.4 ERROR INDICATORS FOR THE ACCUTEMP HEATER

Upon switching on, the AccuTemp Heater will exist in one of the three modes below:
AccuTemp Heater works correctly:
When the AccuTemp Heater is switched on, all three LEDs will light up, and buzzer will beep for
one second. The Heater performs a self-check routine on itself. If the AccuTemp Heater finds that
all internal systems are working correctly, it will transition to the POWER ON state. This is indicated
by the absence of any audio alarm, and the presence of an illuminated blue POWER ON indicator.
AccuTemp Heater displays a malfunction error:
In the case of a malfunction error detected either during startup or during regular operation, the
AccuTemp Heater will indicate this to the user by means of an intermittent beeping sound. In
addition to the beeping, all the three icons POWER ON (blue), HEATING CYCLE ON (amber) and
WARMPAK READY (green) will keep flashing.
This indicates that the AccuTemp Heater has malfunctioned, and will need to be replaced or
repaired. If alerted to this error indicator, the user is advised to switch off the AccuTemp Heater,
and call the Customer Helpline (1800 1033 123)
AccuTemp Heater does not turn on:
In case the Power ON indicator does not turn on even after the AccuTemp Heater is switched on,
then the following scenarios are likely to have happened:
1. The fuse has blown
In the event the fuse has blown, the user should replace the fuse, and try turning the
AccuTemp Heater on again.
Page 22

CHAPTER 5: OPERATING THE WARMER

This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on operating the Embrace Nest. It is advisable to go
through this chapter in detail and clarify any questions or concerns with an Embrace Innovations
representative before operating the device.
The illustrated instructions-for-use section, at the beginning of this manual, can be used as a quick
reference once the user is more comfortable with the detailed instructions described below.
5.1 CHECKING EQUIPMENT BEFORE USE

Before operating the Embrace Nest check for the following and do not use if there are any signs of
damage as described below:
1. BabyWrap - Examine the lining material for signs of deterioration and any wear and tear of the
BabyWrap. Ensure that the BabyWrap has been washed and disinfected before use
(especially the inner areas of the newborn compartment).
2. WarmPak - Examine for any wear and tear or leakage. Also ensure that the WarmPak
temperature indicator is firmly attached to the WarmPak and is not peeling off.
3. AccuTemp Heater- Plug in the device and switch on the main power supply. Check that the
Power ON indicator illuminates. This ensures that the AccuTemp Heater is receiving power
and functioning properly. In case of an error indicator (see 4.4 ERROR INDICATORS FOR THE
ACCUTEMP HEATER), turn the AccuTemp Heater off and contact the Customer Helpline
1800 1033 123.
Refer to 6.2 MAINTENANCE & STORAGE for directions on when to discard WarmPak.

5.2 GETTING READY

Before using the Embrace Nest complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that all the components of the Embrace Nest are in good condition as mentioned in the
section above.
2. Sanitize the WarmPak and the BabyWrap using one of the recommended cleaning liquids 6.
For detailed instructions refer to 6.1 CLEANING.
3. Ensure that the AccuTemp Heater WarmPak tray is clean.
The metal sensor on the inside of the AccuTemp Heater lid must be cleaned before use. It is what
detects the WarmPak temperature and ensures it is heated to the correct temperature.
Refer to Glossary of terms for a list of recommended cleaning liquids
Page 26
5.3 USING THE EMBRACE NEST

Prepare the unit as described above.
Setting up the AccuTemp Heater

1. Place the AccuTemp Heater on a flat surface.
2. Plug in the AccuTemp Heater to the main power supply (wall socket) and ensure that the
POWER ON indicator is illuminated (blue).
3. Ensure that there are no error indicators as indicated in 4.4 ERROR INDICATORS FOR THE
ACCUTEMP HEATER
4. To open the lid push the sliding latch sideways and lift the lid.
5. Place the WarmPak into the AccuTemp Heater WarmPak Tray with the PCM layer touching
the heating surface. To assist proper positioning of the WarmPak note the two indicators:
The Embrace Innovations logo should be upright, and the word Embrace should be
readable.
The notch on the top right corner of the WarmPak aligns with the notch on the
WarmPak cavity tray on the AccuTemp Heater, very much like a cell phone SIM-card.
6. Close the lid. Ensure that the latch clicks back to position. If the WarmPak is slightly crumpled
after use, you may have to use both hands to push down on the lid when closing the
AccuTemp Heater.
Starting the heating cycle

7. Press the Start/Stop button on the AccuTemp Heater to begin the heating process. The
HEATING CYCLE ON indicator glows (amber) to indicate that the heating cycle is in progress.
Page 27
8. If for some reason the heating cycle needs to be paused, press the Start/Stop button to pause
the heating cycle. This will turn off the HEATING CYCLE ON indicator. Press the Start/ Stop
button again when you wish to restart the heating cycle.
NOTE
The Start/Stop button will only work when the AccuTemp Heater lid is closed and latched in place.
Press the Start/Stop button and ensure that your action has registered correctly by checking to see if
the HEATING CYCLE ON indicator has turned on/off.
9. After approximately 35 minutes, the buzzer will beep once to indicate that the heating cycle is
complete, and will beep once again a minute after that. The WARMPAK READY indicator will
turn on and stay illuminated (green) indicating the WarmPak is ready for use.
NOTE
Some un-melted wax may remain in the WarmPak even after the AccuTemp Heater indicates the
heating is complete. This is completely normal, and should not be treated as an error.
The WarmPak may be slightly distorted or crumpled after use. This is perfectly normal, and the
WarmPak may be reused as usual.
Page 28
CAUTION
It is not advisable to open the AccuTemp Heater lid during the heating cycle, as the heating surface
gets very hot while heating up the WarmPak.
If the user opens the lid without pressing the Start/Stop button, then the AccuTemp Heater will
automatically turn off the heating cycle, and give off a continuous high pitched warning beep. This is
to warn the user that the heating surface may be very hot to touch, and can cause burns, should the
user accidentally touch the heating surface in the process of retrieving the WarmPak. The alarm
will sound even if the user presses the Start/Stop button before opening the lid, as the heating plate
will still be hot and pose a burn risk to the user.
Removing the heated WarmPak from the AccuTemp Heater

10. The WARMPAK READY indicator will remain illuminated (green) until the lid is lifted or the
Start/Stop button is pressed. This indicates that the AccuTemp Heater is maintaining the
WarmPak at the operating temperature.
11. Open the lid and remove the heated WarmPak when ready to use.
Ever-ready mode: Keeping the WarmPak warm in the AccuTemp Heater

After approximately 35 minutes, when the heating cycle is complete, the WarmPak will be at the
operating temperature and ready to use. However, as long as the user does not press the Start/Stop
button or lift the lid the AccuTemp Heater will continue to maintain the WarmPak at the
operating temperature, until the user needs to use the WarmPak.
This allows the user to place a WarmPak in the AccuTemp Heater and heat it up well in
advance rather than planning to heat it right before the WarmPak is needed.
It is recommended to leave the WarmPak in the AccuTemp Heater until it needs to be used as
the ever-ready mode has very low power consumption.
Page 29
CAUTION
Do not open lid until heating cycle is complete.
Every time the user opens the lid, the heating cycle will get turned off. Therefore, in the event the
user opens the lid but changes their mind and decides to let the WarmPak stay in the AccuTemp
Heater, it is imperative that they close the lid, and then press the Start/Stop button to ensure that
the heating cycle is turned back on again.
This will enable the AccuTemp Heater to maintain the WarmPak at the operating temperature,
until the user needs to retrieve the WarmPak.
Setting up the WarmPak in the BabyWrap

1. Remove the heated WarmPak from the AccuTemp Heater. Check the WarmPak
temperature indicator. The indicator bar should be in the OK region.
2. If the instructions for heating have not been followed correctly, the WarmPak may be
overheated beyond the safe operating temperature. If the indicator bar is in the TOO HOT
state, DO NOT use the WarmPak.
3. Insert the heated WarmPak in the WarmPak compartment of the BabyWrap. Ensure that it
lies flat inside the WarmPak compartment.
NOTE
Ensure the WarmPak is in the proper orientation to ensure the water layer is facing up.
4. Once the WarmPak is inserted, ensure that the temperature indicator is visible through the
transparent viewing window at the bottom right corner of the BabyWrap.
CAUTION
Do not place the newborn directly on the WarmPak. The heated WarmPak should not be used in
any other manner except with the Embrace BabyWrap.
Remember to monitor the temperature of the WarmPak by periodically (every 30 minutes)
checking the WarmPak temperature indicator, to ensure that it is within the operating range. As
the indicator bar drops below the OK state, the user must keep in mind that the WarmPak is
running out of charge.
As soon as the indicator bar drops into the TOO COLD state, it is time to remove the WarmPak,
and replace with a reheated WarmPak.
Preparation of the newborn

1. Ensure that the newborn has been fed, and is clinically stable.
Page 30
2. Ensure that the newborn has a fresh diaper on.

3. Wrap the newborn in a light cotton cloth as shown below. In case of a newborn with an IV line
attached, thread the IV line through the cotton wrap as shown below.
CAUTION
Do not bundle up the newborn with several layers of the cotton wrap. Ensure that there is only a
thin layer of cloth between the newborn and the BabyWrap cloth in contact with the newborns
back. This will ensure adequate thermal contact between the newborn and the WarmPak.
If the caregiver feels that additional insulation is needed, additional blankets can be placed over the
ventral surface (chest and stomach) of the newborn.
Setting up the BabyWrap

1. After placing the heated WarmPak in the WarmPak compartment, place the BabyWrap on a
flat surface with the newborn compartment facing up.
2. Place the newborn with its head in the hood of the BabyWrap.
3. Wrap the left flap on the newborn (as shown below) and then bring the right flap over it.
4. Pass the strap through the buckle and secure it on the Velcro strap. Repeat the process for all
the three straps. Tuck the tail flap towards the back. Ensure a snug yet comfortable fit for the
newborn by appropriately tightening or loosening the flaps and straps.
5. In case the newborn is smaller than the BabyWrap size, use the cushion provided to shore up
the legs of the newborn, to prevent it from slipping down when inside the BabyWrap.
WARNING
Ensure that straps are not so tight that they hamper the natural breathing mechanics of the
newborn.
Page 31
Monitoring the newborn inside the BabyWrap

Monitor the breathing and skin color of the newborn through the observation window on the
BabyWrap.
To check the temperature using a thermometer, loosen the BabyWrap as necessary to collect the
axillary temperature.
To check the temperature of the newborn by hand, loosen or remove the tail flap and feel the
newborns feet.
NOTE
The BabyWrap (and WarmPak) will maintain the operating temperature for at least 4 hrs in
normal operating conditions 7. In colder environments the WarmPak may not last as long and may
need to be replaced with a freshly heated WarmPak sooner than the 4 hour recommendation.
It is therefore imperative to keep monitoring the WarmPak temperature indicator (every 30
minutes) to ensure that the WarmPak is within the operating temperature range.
It is also imperative to periodically monitor the newborns vitals while in the BabyWrap to ensure
that it is healthy, and to pre-empt sudden changes in the vitals.
See Table 1 in TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS for details on WarmPak performance at different
ambient temperatures.
Refer Glossary for definition of normal operating conditions

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
H
Hypothermia
A term used to refer to subnormal temperature of the body i.e. temperature less than 36.5 C. It is a
condition widely prevalent in newborns that do not have enough subcutaneous fat to sustain body
temperature during the first few days after birth.
The newborn loses its thermal balance due to factors such as evaporation of amniotic fluid,
convection of air current or conduction through contact with cold objects. Such babies need to be
provided external source of warmth until the body temperature stabilizes.
Hypothermic
A condition denoting a patient suffering from hypothermia
N
Normothermia
The human body functions at its optimum when the core body temperature is between 36.5 C and
37.5 C. This core-body temperature condition is referred to as Normothermia.
Normal Operating Conditions
With reference to the Embrace Nest the normal operating conditions are defined as shown below:
The input voltage supplied to the AccuTemp Heater for heating up the WarmPak will be
230V AC, 50 Hz. Further, the AccuTemp Heater is operated at an ambient temperature of
25 C.
The BabyWrap, heated WarmPak and newborn are at an ambient temperature of 25 C.
Under these normal operating conditions, the expected performance of the Embrace Nest is as
below:
The AccuTemp Heater has been designed to heat the WarmPak up to a temperature
between 37 C and 40 C in approximately 35 minutes.
The heated WarmPak, when placed in the BabyWrap, along with the newborn, will stay
at the operating temperature (defined below) for at least 4 hours.
Page 43
O
Operating Temperature
The operating temperature with reference to the Embrace Nest is when the temperature of the
WarmPak, when placed inside the BabyWrap, is approximately 37 C. 8 When the WarmPak is at
this temperature, it is safe to keep the newborn inside the BabyWrap. The WarmPak should not
be used if the WarmPak temperature indicator indicates that the WarmPak is outside the
operating temperature range.
P
Phase Change Material (PCM): A phase change material is a substance that melts and solidifies at a
certain temperature. Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid
and vice versa.
