ABSTRACT:
An infant warming apparatus that has a canopy vertically movable with respect to an infant resting on an infant between a lower position wherein the apparatus functions as an incubator and an upper position where the apparatus functions as an infant warmer. A radiant heater is located on the canopy and directs infrared energy in a first path towards the infant platform to warm the infant when the canopy is in the upper position. When the canopy is moved to its lower position to act as an incubator, the infrared energy is redirected along a second path that is directed away from the infant platform so as to prevent residual infrared energy that continues to be emitted even after discontinuing power to the radiant heater from affecting the infant as that radiant heater is moved to a position in close proximity to the infant.
