KANMED WarmCloud User Guide - Quick instruction
Caution!
Incorrect use of heating equipment can cause serious injury. The user manual must be read
completely before use.
Preparation
Place the Warm Air Mattress on the Operating table. If the mattress has fixating straps then tie them to
the side rail with a reliable knot. Do not tighten down the mattress too hard. The air hoses are
connected to the air inlets and the Velcro straps are tightened securely. If the mattress has cushions,
place it under the part of the patient located closest to the air inlets. Connect the Hand Controller to the
Main Unit. Connect the power cable to an outlet with protective grounding. Switch on the Mains Power
switch, located at the power intake on the Main Unit. Observe that a self test is performed.
Note
:
Alarm code
PO LOS
will be received after mains power has been reconnected. This is normal!
Press the Alarm button to reset the alarm
. The system is now ready for operation.
Start
Press the
button on the Hand Controller to start. Always attend the patient when inflating the
mattress.
Correct STOP procedure for the Control Unit
Reduce the pressure to 0 alternatively press the start/standby button
for 2 seconds.
Switch of the Control Unit before you pull out the power cable.
Adjusting the temperature
Preset temperature is 37°C. The average air temperature can be set between 20°C (no warming) and
42°C by pressing the [+] or [-] buttons until desired temperature is displayed. 42°C is the
recommended start temperature and should be adjusted according to the patient’s needs.
Note:
When temperatures above 38°C or below 35°C are selected, the unit will alert the operator by an
audio signal and flashing digits as a reminder that settings that deviate from body temperature are
being selected.
Caution!
It is highly recommended to
monitor the patient’s actual core temperature with a reliable
method.
Adjusting the pressure
Pre Set pressure is 30 mb. Make sure that the patient is not “bottoming out”. This will block the airflow
and reduce the warming efficiency. Check by inserting your hand between the Mattress and the
operating table under the heaviest part of the patient. Very important with heavy patients. If required,
increase the pressure by 5 or 10 mb. Ensure that there are no wrinkled materials under the patient.
Safety information
Reduced Blood Flow
Parts of the body that have reduced or no blood flow should not be warmed. Reduce the
temperature setting to lowest value well ahead of a blood vessel shut off.
Operating table Safety
Straps
When the patient is fixated by the safety straps (recommended standard procedure), first
inflate the Mattress to ensure proper tension
.
Patient Stability
The Mattress may fill or empty unevenly, therefore you must observe the patient carefully
when you are inflating or deflating the Mattress. Be extra careful, and always make sure the
patient is adequately fixed whenever tilting the operating table out of horizontal position. If
the mattress is rolled in under the patient after the patient has been put on the operating
table, be extra cautious during inflation!
Single Patient Use
Mattress
Reuse will cause leakage and increased infection risk and void product liability.
Risk of Fire
Protect the Mattress from laser, electrosurgical active knives and naked flame. Be
particularly cautious after use of flammable disinfectants (e.g. alcohol).
Error Codes
In case an error is detected by the system an acoustic alarm is received and a code is
displayed on the hand controller as “Err
XXX
”.
The meaning of this error code is found on the rear of the hand controller. Full information is
found in the user manual.
