* Patient Warming Systems
M000 Control Unit Operator’s Manual: U .S .
To treat a patient during on-pump procedure, first determine the temperature
management strategy:
Warm the patient prior to CPB
Set the water temperature to enhance warming
OR
Patient allowed to drift
Set water target temperature to avoid rapid warming
OR
Normothermic throughout case
Set water target temperature to enhance warming
CAUTION: It is the sole responsibility of the clinician or operator to monitor patient
temperature during Manual Mode and to adjust the temperature of the
water flowing through the pads accordingly.
CAUTION: Since temperature is not controlled in Manual Mode, patient
temperature should be noted at regular intervals during prolonged
warm water or cold water treatment to prevent over-warming or
over-cooling the patient.
CAUTION: Manual Mode should only be used when a patient’s temperature and
condition are continuously monitored.
To begin treatment, pre-warm the pads as described above for Automatic Operation .
Kimberly-Clark recommends using a set point of 38ºC to pre-warm the pads, and
during initial pad placement for on-pump procedures .
Once the pads have been placed on the patient, adjust the water target
temperature as described below to accomplish the specific control strategy
appropriate for the patient and procedure in question .
