Fully automatic baby bottle warmer

1. Automatic baby bottle warmer with direct temperature monitoring

2. Problem
Consumers:
Warming baby bottles up to suitable temperature
- about 370C
juice, yogurt, puree...
expressed breast milk
artificial feeding
children's hospitals
parents

3. Problem
A lot of warmers are available All water bath-type
t0
initial temperature
thermal capacity
volume
heat conductivity
No direct temperature monitoring!
need to preset warming time and/or temperature,
but user has no idea concerning mentioned initial values

4. Problem
go to
kitchen
fill the
warmer
with water
estimate volume,
initial temperature
and type of feeds
find proper warming

6. Our solution: technology
1. Direct non-contact temperature monitoring
2. Volumetric heating
3. 2-axis permanent forced mixing
4. Active control of peak MW power - SmartFieldTM technology
BabyField warmer is sufficiently different from usual
domestic microwave oven

7. Our solution: technology

8. Our solution: advantages
Accuracy. The target t=370C is guaranteed.
Usability. Dry technology. No need to fill with water, adjust or service.
User cannot make any mistake.
Quickness. Heats 2 times faster
than water-steam competitors.
Safety. No hot water, steam, hot parts.
Scalds of user or baby are impossible.
Careful heating. For loads from 30 to 300 ml the SmartFieldTM technology keeps MW power
at low safe level.
Local t < 60°C; all nutrients survive.

9. Our solution: applicability
Baby bottles
Plastic bottles,
incl. metallic cap
(yoghurt, juice, milk…)
Glass bottles
incl. metallic cap
(yoghurt, juice, milk…)
Glass jars
with metallic cap
Metallized pouches
(yoghurt, puree…)
Metallized cartons
(yoghurt, juice…)
Yoghurt with
metallized cap
* Additional cup for warming can be supplied separately

10. Our solution: pasteurizer
Recognized Holder method:
Since we control the temperature we can provide any temperature profile,
e.g. like this:
additional
cooler unit
Use in donated milk banks, clinics, domestic use

11. Our solution: bottle sterilizer
Use in donated milk banks, clinics, at home
additional
plastic container with water
Another temperature profile for sterilizing:

12. Our solution: design
Just 8 parts of pressed steel
sheet.
Use only widely available parts,
and only routine operations
We deviate from traditional design
of bottle warmers and make catchy
design fit in modern interior

13. Our solution: options
Automatic warmer
Sterilizer: additional plastic container
Pasteurizer: additional cooler unit
Refrigerator for milk storing: additional cooler unit
Night lamp: often use at night

15. Risks: radiophobia
1. The non-thermal effect of MW has not been ever demonstrated;
2. MW is used for donated blood heating;
3. MW is used for centimeter wave therapy to heat living human tissues;
4. We perform chemical and microbiological studies with leading Russian pediatrics center.
Result: MW does not damage donated milk;
5. In fact there is NO radiophobia (at least in Russia):

Now we need investors and partners
to start line production and sales

18. Alternative application of the technology
Donated blood defrosting and warming
Most of competitors use surface heating. Work very slowly!
We develop blood defroster/warmer with transfusiologists.
We will start clinical testing in 6 month.
The only MW blood warmer- Transfusio-therm 2000
(EIC Umwelt- u. Medizintechnik Ltd., Germany).
Testing in few clinics in Europe.
