项目摘要

Warning labels have been only partially effective as a deterrent to microwave heating of infant formula. Further advances in injury prevention require a positive alternative. A baby bottle designed to consistently deliver formula at a safe and uniform temperature and alert the care-giver when there is potential for injury satisfies this need. The discovery of conductive shields and temperature indicators meeting these design criteria and compatible with most commercial baby bottles was the major achievement of Phase I. Obtaining further empirical evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of this innovation in the hands of mothers is a prime objective of Phase II. Other aims include the modification and optimization of design features to insure maximum infant safety. To this end, the relative effectiveness of several shield configurations will be measured in a field trial of 400 first time mothers with infants at risk. Mothers' tactile temperature skill in holding shielded and unshielded bottles will be assessed. Interviews will establish design preferences and at-home safety practices. These findings will help define final product forms. Shield materials and ink formulations will be subjected to accelerated life testing. The shield/indicator concept will be extended to disposable nursers. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The safety and convenience features of this product would benefit more than two million mothers who bottle feed their infants. The technology lends itself to three commercial options: (1) applied as a label or coating by bottle manufacturers and sold as a safe microwaveable baby bottle, (2) sold directly to consumers as a separate appliance and (3) given to purchasers of infant formula as a premium. Because this bottle design is effective for most commercially available reusable and disposable type infant nursers, its commercialization by bottle manufacturers would require no major investment in the retooling.

警告标签作为一种威慑，微波加热婴儿配方奶粉。伤害预防的进一步进展需要一个积极的选择。一个婴儿奶瓶，在安全和均匀的温度下提供配方奶粉，并提醒护理人员当有潜在的伤害时满足这种需要。的发现满足这些设计的导电屏蔽和温度指示器标准和兼容大多数商业婴儿奶瓶是主要的第一阶段的成就。获得进一步的经验证据，这项创新在母亲手中的有效性是一个主要的第二阶段的目标。其他目标包括修改和优化设计功能，以确保最大限度的婴儿安全。为此，几种屏蔽配置的相对有效性将在400名初次怀孕的母亲中进行实地试验处于危险之中母亲的触觉温度技能，将评估未屏蔽的瓶。面试将建立设计偏好和家庭安全实践。这些发现将有助于定义最终产品形式。屏蔽材料和油墨配方将进行加速寿命测试。屏蔽/指示器概念将可以扩展到一次性护理器。拟议的商业应用：安全和方便的特点，这个产品将使200多万用奶瓶喂养的母亲受益他们的婴儿。该技术有三种商业选择： (1)由瓶子制造商作为标签或涂层使用，并作为安全的微波婴儿奶瓶，（2）直接出售给消费者作为一个（3）单独的器具和（3）作为婴儿配方奶粉的购买者高级.因为这种瓶子设计对于大多数商业上有效，现有的可重复使用和一次性使用的婴儿保育器，瓶子制造商的商业化将不需要主要的投资于重组。
