Connect the infusion line to the patient cannula and fix the patient’s end of the
heating profile in position e.g. with narrow tape (Fig. 9 B). The heating profile is
now free hanging between the end fixed at the patient and the control unit and
the treatment can be started.
CAUTION
Risk of needle dislodgement!
The weight of the
heating profile pulls on the patient’s infusion line. Carefully
secure the patient’s access against pulling. Attach the heating profile by suit-
able methods (e.g. tape, plaster or Velcro
®
).
WARNING
Risk of overheating!
The heating profile must hang freely while in use. Do not kink, cover (not
even partially), clamp (for example, with a surgical clamp) or roll the heating
profile.
Do not place the heating profile under or directly beside the patient. Heat
build-up can occur and/or the infusion line can be squeezed off.
Do not cool or expose to cool temperatures (e.g. by evaporating disinfect-
ants) the area near the temperature sensors (the last 40 cm of the free end of
the heating profile).
