3-4. OPERATING THE BLANKETROL II UNIT IN
MANUAL CONTROL MODE
WITH THE
ADDITION OF THE PATIENT PROBE
When the BLANKETROL II unit is set to operate in
MANUAL CONTROL MODE
, the patient
probe can be inserted to monitor the patient's temperature without affecting the operation. The
unit continues to operate based upon the temperature of the water in the BLANKETROL II
equipment relative to the desired Blanket/Water temperature.
After arranging the equipment as described in Section (3-1.), proceed as follows:
A. Check the placement of the 400 Series probe in or on the patient.
B. Insert the 400 Series probe into the probe jack on the right side of the unit.
C.
Follow Steps (A - I) as described in Section (3-3.). In addition to the Blanket/Water
display showing actual water temperature, the Patient display shows the actual patient
temperature.
The BLANKETROL II unit is now operating in
MANUAL CONTROL MODE
while monitoring the
patient's temperature. However, you must also monitor the patient's temperature. (Review the
suggestions for patient care described in Section (2-4.)).
WARNING
A physician's order is required for setting blanket temperature and use of equipment.
At least every 20 minutes, or as directed by physician, check patient's temperature
and skin integrity of areas in contact with blanket; also, check the BLANKETROL
II’s
water temperature. Pediatric patients, temperature-sensitive patients with vascular
disease, surgical patients, diabetics and patients with Raynaud
’s Disease are at
greater risk for developing tissue injuries, and this should be considered when
selecting the temperature, duration of therapy and frequency of skin checks.
Notify
the physician promptly of any change in patient status in order to avoid
serious injury or death.
