Giraffe OmniBed GE Incubator Corner Ring (6600-1248-500): Purpose, Replacement and Purchase
Giraffe OmniBed GE incubators are among the most common neonatal systems in neonatal pathology departments and maternity units. They provide control of temperature, humidity and access to the infant. Like any medical equipment, over time they require servicing and the replacement of individual housing elements.
In this guide we look at the corner ring of the Giraffe OmniBed incubator (PN 6600-1248-500) — its purpose, installation, compatibility and procurement for clinics in Russia and the CIS.
1. What the Giraffe OmniBed is
The Giraffe OmniBed is a GE Healthcare neonatal system combining the functions of an incubator and an open resuscitation system. It is used in neonatal and neonatal intensive care departments.
Key functions:
- •maintaining a stable temperature and humidity;
- •access to the infant through access windows and procedure ports;
- •control of the microclimate by means of a humidifier;
- •compatibility with auxiliary neonatal equipment.
The integrity of the housing and of all structural elements is part of the department's safety and hygiene.

2.1. Why a sound housing matters
The incubator housing does not serve an aesthetic function only:
- •it holds the structural elements and fasteners;
- •it provides protection from damage and snagging;
- •it supports hygienic treatment of the surface;
- •it prevents foreign objects from getting inside.
Damaged housing elements should be replaced in good time.
3. Signs that replacement is needed
- •Cracks, chips or deformation of the ring.
- •Loss of fixation of the corner joint.
- •Loss of hood integrity after an impact or a fall.
- •A change in appearance after prolonged use.
If signs of damage appear, the ring should be replaced according to the schedule.
4. How the replacement is carried out
- Disconnect the Giraffe OmniBed incubator from the mains.
- Remove the damaged corner ring from the joint.
- Install the new ring 6600-1248-500, observing orientation and fixation.
- Check the integrity and reliability of the fastening.
- Make an entry in the service log.
The work is performed by trained/service personnel in accordance with the operating manual.
5. Prevention and recommendations
- •Regularly check the condition of the housing and fastenings.
- •Prevent impacts and deformation of the structure.
- •Perform hygienic treatment of the surface according to the schedule.
- •Keep spare housing elements to prevent downtime.
6. Compatibility table
| PN | Item | Equipment type | Note |
|---|---|---|---|

Exact compatibility depends on the system model. Before ordering, send the incubator model to the engineer.
7. Difference from other items in the 6600 series
Structural elements of the Giraffe OmniBed are covered in several articles:
- •6600-1238-500 — cast access window door (ge-giraffe-omnibed-humidifier-parts-guide);
- •6600-1248-500 — corner ring (this article);
- •6600-0216-850 — humidifier reservoir water collector assembly (ge-giraffe-omnibed-humidifier-parts-guide).
Do not confuse the items: each of them is installed in its own place in the structure.
