The neonatal incubator is considered a revolutionary Neonatolagy equipment, because it has consolidated its quality by reducing the number of deaths and increasing the survival of preterm infants. However, to guarantee the operation and a good performance of the same it is necessary to certify if they comply with the criteria specified in the standard ABNT NBR IEC 60601-2-19. Thus, this work presents a software to assist in the process of evaluating the performance of neonatal incubators. This sytem has been developed in the C# language as a Windows Forms application, using Visual Studio Community 2017. To obtain a modern layout, it was used the framework MetroFramework and for data storage the platform PostgreSql was adopted. The software acts in conjunction with a hardware, which captures the humidity rate and the internal temperature of the incubator. This data is transmitted, via Bluetooth or via a USB connection cable to the software, which after reading, stores them in a database and analyzes the following criteria: Incubator Heating Time, Stable Temperature Condition, Stability of Incubator, Temperature Uniformity, Overshoot, Temperature Control Accuracy and Relative Humidity Indication Accuracy. In each analysis, the software compares the results of the incubator with the parameters specified in the standard, generating at the end a report, that indicates whether the incubator is within the conformities described by the standard, or if there is some nonconformity and what these are. The tests showed that the objectives with the development of the software were achieved, since it has proved to be a tool of easy and simple handling, guiding the operator on all the commands that must be executed to carry out the validations, meeting all requirements required by the standard corresponding. Thus, it has facilitated, automated and optimized the collection and analysis of temperature and humidity parameters of neonatal incubators.
