•
All air must be removed from the fluid lines
prior to connecting to the patient.
•
Monitor the fluid lines to ensure they are air
free. Never administer fluids if there are air
bubbles in the line between the bubble trap
and the patient connector.
Failure to do so could result in the
introduction of air to the patient,
resulting in death or serious injury.
When fully inserted, the clear guide rail
should protrude no more than 0.5 cm from
the front of the warming unit.
Failure to
fully insert the cassette may result in
damage to the cassette.
Close warming set input clamp. Remove the
protector from the female luer of the warming set
and connect it to the male luer on the IV
administration set. Remove the protector from
the male luer of the warming set. To minimize
temperature drop and priming volume, remove
unnecessary lead extensions at this time.
Invert the bubble trap.
Open warming set input clamp. Allow fluid to
prime the set. When the bubble trap fills to
approximately (2/3) full, close the output clamp.
Re-invert the bubble trap and place it into the
bubble trap receiver on the side of the warming
unit.
The bubble trap must be mounted and kept in
a vertical position at all times.
Failure to do
so could result in the introduction of air
to the patient, resulting in death or
serious injury.
Press the
RUN/STANDBY
switch on the
front of the unit.
Upon successful completion of self-diagnostics,
the display will flash the setpoint for approximately
3 seconds, then begin warming the fluid to the
selected temperature.
The setpoint most recently used is retained
in memory, even after power is removed.
To select an alternate setpoint, first press the
SETPOINT
switch momentarily.
This will cause the setpoint to be displayed and
flash for approximately 3 seconds. While the
display is flashing the setpoint, the user may select
any setpoint between 38.0°C and 43.0°C in 1.0°C
increments by repeatedly pressing the
SETPOINT
switch.
NOTE: holding down the
SETPOINT
switch
indefinitely will not increment the setpoint.
After the selection has been made, the display will
continue to flash this setpoint for approximately
3 seconds, then revert to displaying the actual fluid
temperature. The setpoint can be checked at any
time during the procedure by momentarily
pressing the
SETPOINT
switch.
If required, connect an extension for patient
connection.
Purge air from remaining length of tubing by
opening output clamp and allowing fluid to flow.
WARNING
WARNING
5
Monitor the fluid level in the bubble trap
frequently. Bubbles released during heating
are captured in the trap. To refill the trap,
insert a sterile syringe into the valve and draw
air out until the trap is two-thirds (2/3) full.
Do not allow the bubble trap to go below
one-quarter (1/4) full.
Failure to monitor the fluid level in the
bubble trap could result in the
introduction of air to the patient,
resulting in death or serious injury.
