CAUTION

Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

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 and unit deterioration.

Use only hospital grade plug or electric shock may result.

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.

Always drain the BLANKETROL II to a sanitary drain because bio-contaminants may be present in
the unit’s water supply.

Handling or use of the patient probe may result in damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) if
proper precautions are not taken.

All wire-lead, patient-connected transducer assemblies are subject to reading error, local heating,
and possible damage from high intensity sources of RF energy. Inadequately grounded
electrosurgical equipment represents one such source, since capacitively coupled currents may
seek alternate paths to ground through probe cables and associated instruments. Patient burns may
result. If possible, remove the probe from patient contact before activating an electrosurgical unit.

Do not immerse the probes or connecting cables in liquid. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the probes.

If unit was shipped on its side, permit the unit to rest in an upright position for twelve (12) hours
before operating due to refrigeration oil displacement.

For safe handling and use of chemicals follow manufacturer guidelines.

Users should not use cleaning or decontamination methods different from those recommended by
CSZ without first checking with CSZ that the proposed methods will not damage the equipment.

Working with electronic boards, plugs, and cables requires delicate handling. Proper electrostatic
discharge (ESD) procedures should be followed during replacement of any electronic board.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the board.

If device is set to operate in Automatic mode, the device will shut down and activate the CHECK
PROBE alarm if the patient temperature falls below 30.0ºC (86°F). Patient temperature must rise
above 30.0ºC (86°F) before restarting the device in Automatic mode. The device can be operated in
Manual Control mode in order to warm the patient above 30.0°C (86°F). Potential for interruption of
therapy.

Unapproved blankets or hoses should never be used.
