NORM-O-TEMP, Model 111W
The NORM-O-TEMP
®
, Model 111W hyperthermia System is used to keep a patient
comfortable by maintaining blanket/pad water temperature through conductive heat
transfer. The NORM-O-TEMP
®
hyperthermia system is composed of a heater,
circulating pump, safety high limit, and microprocessor board.
Distilled water is heated and pumped from the unit to a blanket/pad. The blanket/pad
rests under, around, and/or on top of the patient. The water circulates through the
blanket/pad and returns to the unit. When warmed water is circulated through the
blanket/pad, the patient is warmed. The unit is designed to operate based on the
temperature of the circulating water.
The recommended blankets/pads for use are listed in Figure 16 Accessories.
