6.0 Preventive Maintenance
6.1 HEPA Filter
Dirt that has accumulated on the internal HEPA
air filter will reduce the efficiency of the blower
and heater. Under normal use, replace the HEPA
filter every 1000 operating hours or 12 months,
whichever occurs first. Replace the filter
only
with the Gaymar P/N listed (see parts list, fig. 9,
p. 24).
Refer to
Functional Check, 7.6 Filter Switch Test
& Filter Replacement
(p. 14) for instructions.
6.2 Blower
The blower motor and fan do not require
lubrication.
6.3 Enclosure Exterior
Clean the control panel and Power Unit exterior
with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a
nonstaining hospital disinfectant.
6.4 Quilts
Quilts are not sterile.
Quilts are intended for single patient use only.
Quilts should be discarded after use.
Small rips or tears in quilt material may be
temporarily fixed with adhesive tape.
6.5 Hose
Clean the hose with a soft cloth lightly dampened
with a nonstaining hospital disinfectant. Place the
connector hose under the bed rail hooks when
not in use.
6.6 Air Vents
Clean accumulated dirt from the air vents with a
vacuum cleaner.
5.0 Controls and Indicators
5.1 Power
An
on/off circuit breaker
is located on the front
of the unit in the bottom left corner. It controls
power to the entire unit. When switched to the
ON
position, a power indicator in the switch will
light.
5.2 Control Panel
An
operator control panel
(fig. 4, p. 6) is
mounted at the top of the Power Unit:
•
[Power Up]
When the power unit is turned on,
the system defaults to the
32°C
temperature
setting. A green light directly above the
selector switch will glow indicating the
selected temperature range.
•
[Temperature Settings]
Temperature settings
are selected by pressing the appropriate push-
button --
fan only, 32°C, 38°C, 43°C,
or
46°C.
•
[Power Interruption]
If electrical power is
interrupted momentarily, the existing
temperature setting will remain. If electrical
power remains off, the TC3001 will default to
the
32°C
setting when power is restored.
A
REMOVE FROM USE
indicator will light:
•
if a patient safety thermostat or heater
thermostat has tripped.
•
if the HEPA filter has been installed incorrectly
or is missing.
The heating element and blower will automatically
turn off when these conditions occur.
