Concluding the Use of the NORM-O-TEMP
®
System
NOTE:
It is important to drain the unit before placing in dry storage.
After the patient temperature reaches the prescribed temperature for the prescribed amount of
time, discontinue the use of the NORM-O-TEMP
®
unit as ordered. Patient's temperature can vary
slightly up or down after therapy has been discontinued. The operator should continue to monitor
the patient's temperature.
When the hyperthermia therapy has concluded and the unit is turned off:
A.
Permit the blanket/pad(s) and hose to remain connected to the unit for about ten minutes.
This allows some of the water to drain back into the unit.
B.
Disconnect the power cord from the power source, loosely coil it and attach it to the back
panel using the nylon straps.
C.
Remove the blanket/pad(s).
D.
Loosely coil the connecting hose and attach it to the back panel using the nylon straps, if
necessary.
E.
For reusable PLASTIPAD blanket/pad(s), loosely coil the hose lengthwise in the center of
the blanket/pad. Fold the blanket/pad lengthwise into the center, 1/3 from the left side
and 1/3 from the right side. Maintenance of the blanket/pad is described in Section 5-4.
For reusable Gelli-Roll blankets/pads either lay them flat or roll the blanket/pad. Do not
fold the Gelli-Roll blankets/pads.
For Single-Patient Use blanket/pad(s), follow the instructions packaged with the
blanket/pad. Dispose of blankets/pads in a manner consistent with hospital policy
protocol for patient contact items.
