Function and design
HICO-VARIOTHERM 550
26
Transition temperatures of < 35 °C and > 38 °C must be
consciously set by the user and closely monitored.
In this way, the risk of local temperature accumulation is virtually
ruled out, while ensuring compliance with the requirements
concerning the place of installation and site of application.
Performance limitations in the attainable pad transition
temperatures under extreme environmental conditions and
selected pad (see chapter 6.2.8 Schematic performance
descriptions), may also lead to restrictions in the intended use.
Operating the HICO-VARIOTHERM 550 is simple and intuitive,
incorrect use is almost ruled out.
Danger caused by overestimation and underestimation of
the performance of the system!
Dangers may arise from the unit if it is put to unintended use, and
if desired temperatures under given conditions are not achieved.
The reliable therapeutic use of the system requires the user to
carry out a careful risk assessment and continuous monitoring
and care of the patient.
