Abstract
An infant incubator includes a table with an enclosing hood movably overlying the table. To work with the incubator, an exterior elevator can be clamped in position relative to the table and has a plunger movable vertically relative to the table. There are lifting arms on the plunger adapted to extend through slots in the hood and into engagement with arm-engaging means on an infant tray adapted to rest on the table beneath the hood. The tray preferably has an x-ray transparent bottom area and is movable by the lifting arms into various positions above an x-ray cassette on the table beneath the bottom area. Tubes and connectors can be fastened to the tray so as to move therewith as the elevator plunger operates the tray.
