The E.S. Yalamov Ural Optical Mechanical Plant (UOMZ) presented the first domestic mobile incubator for transporting newborns, "BONNY", in Moscow.

The neonatal mobile incubator can work from a hospital outlet and a regular battery.

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 it will be possible to provide qualified medical care to newborns even in remote regions of Russia. Local doctors can transport them to major medical centers for consultation with specialists or emergency surgery.

According to the press service of the "Shvabe" holding, "BONNY" is very compact and fits comfortably in an ambulance and a medical aviation helicopter. The incubator has a comfortable temperature mode for newborns, protection against noise and vibration.

The development of Russian engineers can be charged from an outlet and a regular battery, and without recharging it can work for four hours.

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 infant inside gets worse during transportation, the incubator starts emitting special sound signals.

BONNY was presented to the broad Russian public in Moscow at the exhibition "Protection of Mother's and Child's Health - 2023".

The Story of Creation and Awards of “BONNY”

The project sample “BONNY” first saw the light at the Yekaterinburg “INNOPROM” in 2017. It was planned that it would be launched into mass production by the end of the same year.

However, its refinement and certification took a lot of time. The registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor for the product was received by Shvabe only in the autumn of 2019.

The start of mass production of the mobile incubator was also delayed a bit, stabilizing by 2022. But the long-term development was successful: the Russian neonatal mobile incubator now has no world counterparts.

This is recognized abroad as well. In 2022, at the 64th International Technical Fair in Belgrade, the E.S. Yalamov Ural Optical Mechanical Plant was awarded a gold medal for this development.
