The Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant named after E.S. Yalamov (UOMZ) presented the first domestic mobile incubator for transporting newborns "BONNY" in Moscow.
The Yekaterinburg enterprise of the "Shvabe" holding, which is part of the Rostec State Corporation, has been working on it for more than three years. Now, qualified medical care for newborns can be provided even in remote regions of Russia. Local doctors will be able to transport them to large medical centers for specialist consultations or urgent operations.
According to the press service of the "Shvabe" holding, "BONNY" is very compact and can easily fit into an ambulance and an air ambulance helicopter. Inside the incubator, there is a comfortable temperature regime for newborns, protection from noise and vibration.
The development of Russian engineers can be charged both from a power outlet and from a regular battery, and can work for four hours without recharging.
Unlike foreign counterparts, inside the Russian mobile incubator there are not only temperature monitoring systems, but also systems for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen levels. If the baby inside gets worse during transportation, the incubator starts emitting special sound signals.
For the general Russian public, "BONNY" was presented in Moscow at the exhibition "Healthcare of Mother and Child - 2023".
History of creation and awards of "BONNY"
The project sample of "BONNY" first saw the light at the Yekaterinburg "INNOPROM" in 2017. It was planned to launch it into mass production by the end of the same year.
However, its refinement and certification took a lot of time. "Shvabe" received the registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor for the product only by the autumn of 2019.
The launch of the mobile incubator into mass production was also slightly delayed, stabilizing by 2022. But the long development turned out to be successful: the Russian neonatal mobile incubator currently has no world analogues.
This is also recognized abroad. In 2022, at the 64th International Technical Fair in Belgrade, the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant named after E.S. Yalamov received a gold medal for this development.
