Interlayer separate mattresses/ wraps from patient body preventing intimate direct
contact.
For total body cooling treatment the TECOTHERM NEO device pumps TECOmed
along the hydraulic lines through mattresses / wraps or pads to lower or increase body
core temperature to the set value. Users may preselect the most appropriate treatment
procedure and target temperatures.
During circulation the micro computer of the Control Board is permanently comparing/
analysing the measured and set rectal temperatures. The larger the deviation between
the two temepratures the more cooling or heating power is to be supplied by the
TECOTHERM NEO device.
Rectal temperature stands for body core temperature BCT.
Treatment procedure temperatures for inducing hypothermia in neonate are strictly limited
Rectal Temperature standing for BCT

(lower limit / upper limit) in the treatment mode 1
Mattress temperature
12°C/ 39°C
Device internal temperature alarm limits
10°C lower limit
