• Do not operate the control unit in areas subject to
explosion hazard!
• Do not use Geratherm UniqueResc
+
warming blan-
kets together with other heat sources (e.g. radiation
lamps, incubators or hot water bottles)! This could
be detrimental to the patient’s health.
• Do not place the control unit directly on top of ECG
or EEG equipment. Otherwise, faults may arise, e.g.
the devices may produce false readings!
• Before each use, check the surface of the war-
ming blankets for any visible damage! Disconti-
nue use of any damaged blankets immediately!
• Put the Geratherm UniqueResc
+
warming blankets
completely on the patient. To prevent overheating,
do not under any circumstances fold the equip-
ment!
• Do not place any objects on top of the warming
blankets to avoid any localised overheating or heat
accumulation.
• It must be checked whether any fixture is required
to keep the patient in place. If so, the same must be
positioned underneath the warming blankets.
• The temperature setting (only by model type R130)
is the responsibility of the physician.
• Do not use Geratherm UniqueResc
+
on patients
with impaired circulation! The manufacturer is
not aware of any other contra-indications.
• Whenever heat treatment is applied, the core body
temperature of the patient must be monitored at re-
gular intervals. The length of the intervals shall be
determined by the medical staff.
• Geratherm UniqueResc
+
shall only be used under
the supervision of the medical staff.
• Do not apply adhesive tape to the warming blan-
kets. This will lead to permanent soiling of the
surface.
