Infant warming box this kind of machine is designed to provide the baby with an air purification temperature and humidity suitable, similar to the mother's womb of the excellent environment of the nursery box, the most core principle of work is the temperature controller, temperature controller has set the temperature, real-time temperature split-screen display, power on automatically into the box temperature control state and other functions. At present, most of the baby warming box used in the country is the use of computer technology to implement the control of the temperature box, different manufacturers of different models of the temperature box roughly only the appearance of the difference, the working principle, performance indicators and medical use are basically the same.
