OPERATING THE BLANKETROL II UNIT
3-0. INTRODUCTION
This section describes how to operate the BLANKETROL II unit in order to control a patient's
temperature. First, collect the equipment and prepare the patient. Second, decide which mode
of operation to use. Third, set the appropriate controls:
AUTOMATIC CONTROL MODE,
MANUAL CONTROL MODE,
or
MONITOR ONLY MODE
. For proper knowledge and
understanding of the unit, in-service training is available upon request.
3-1. ARRANGING THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A. Collect all supplies and equipment
1. BLANKETROL II unit
2. Hyper-hypothermia blanket(s)
3. Dry sheet, if necessary
4. Connecting hose, if using Gelli-Roll, or Disposable Blanket(s).
5. 400 Series probe (refer to list of accessories in Figure (6-9.))
6. Connector cable (if using disposable probes)
7. Distilled water
B. Place the BLANKETROL II unit in the patient area, accessible to the correct power
source, and in an ambient environment of 15°C
– 30°C (59°F – 86°F).
C. Review Section (1-3.) that outlines the features of the unit and membrane control panel.
D. Check the level of distilled water in the reservoir. To do so, lift the cover of the water fill
opening and check if the water is visibly touching the strainer. If needed, carefully add
distilled water. In addition, if the water falls below a preset level, the alarm sounds and
the SETPOINT/ STATUS display flashes LOW WATER. The operator cannot proceed
until this is corrected as described in Sections (3-7.) and (4-2.4).
E. Check that the power switch is in the
“O” position (unit is off).
F. Inspect the power plug for bent or missing prongs.
WARNING

by-pass ground lug (230V System).
Electrical hazards may result.
G. Insert the plug into a properly grounded hospital grade receptacle.
CAUTION
Use distilled water only. Do Not Use De-Ionized water.
De-Ionized water
may
cause corrosion to plumbing system components.
Do Not Use Tap Water.
Minerals and deposits
can clog plumbing system components.
Do not
use alcohol. Alcohol may cause blanket deterioration.
Do not
overfill. Overfilling may result in overflow when the water in the blanket drains
back into the system when the system is turned off.
