115 Prolonged Warm
Water Exposure
Medium Priority Alarm
The circulating water temperature
has been between 38°C (100.4°F) and
40°C (104.0°F) for a prolonged period
of time.
Prolonged warm water exposure
may increase the risk for skin injury.
Assess patient’s skin underneath the
ArcticGel™ pads.
1. Verify the custom parameters.
Patient target is set to the correct temperature.
See
VI. Operation Guide–Therapy Screen-
topics
Hypothermia
Therapy–Rewarming
or
Normothermia Therapy–Control
Patient
for instructions on setting patient target temperature.
One of the automatic patient control modes (e.g. Control Patient
or Rewarming) is activated. (The system is not in Manual Control
mode.)
The high water temperature limit is set correctly. Consider
reducing the maximum water temperature setting to 38°C
(100°F) or lower. See
VI. Operation Guide–Therapy Settings–
High Water Limit
.
2. Verify Pad Sizing and Coverage
A full set of four ArcticGel™ pads of the appropriate size for the
patient applied to the patient.
For patients > 100 kg (220 lbs), 1 or 2 Universal pads are added
as required for adequate coverage.
The pads are well-adhered to the patient.
3. Verify System Performance
Water flow rate should be greater than the minimum flow rate
requirements specified in the ArcticGel™ pads IFU for at least 1
hour continuous use.
See
VIII. Troubleshooting–Water–Low Water Flow
for
troubleshooting instructions.
The patient temperature probe is properly placed and providing
an accurate and stable temperature.
4. Make Clinical Decision
If all of the above considerations have been addressed and the
patient still has not reached target temperature the physician
and nursing staff make a clinical decision to limit the warm
water exposure:
Decrease high water temperature limit. See
VI. Operation
Guide–Therapy Settings–High Water Limit
Set the patient target temperature to the highest patient
temperature achieved. See
VI. Operation Guide–Therapy
Screen–Hypothermia Therapy–Rewarming
or
Normothermia
Therapy–Control Patient
for instructions on setting patient
target temperature.
Discontinue warming therapy.
116 Patient Temperature
1 Change Not Detected
Low Priority Alarm
Patient Temperature 1 has not
changed by more than 0.15°C for an
extended period of time.
1. Verify that the Temp In 1 probe is correctly positioned and correctly
connected to the system.
2. Verify patient temperature by an independent measurement.
3. Verify that the rate of temperature change is intentionally set to a low
value.
117 Patient Temperature
1 Change Not Detected
Medium Priority Alarm
Patient Temperature 1 has not
changed by more than 0.15°C for an
extended period of time.
1. Verify that the Temp In 1 probe is correctly positioned and correctly
connected to the system.
2. Verify patient temperature by an independent measurement.
3. Verify that the rate of temperature change is intentionally set to a low
value.
119 Patient Temperature
1 Outside of Monitor
Mode Limits
Low Priority Alarm
Patient Temperature 1 has
exceeded
the Monitor Mode Limits and is set to
Manually
.
