CAUTION
Risk of hypothermia!
When ASTOTHERM PLUS is used, the patient’s body temperature must be
montitored at regular intervals.
The temperature control of the ASTOTHERM PLUS controls and monitors
the current temperature of the heat exchanger, but not
the patient’s body
temperature.
If the ASTOTHERM PLUS cannot be started or if the patient's temperature
balance is insufficient, consider the use of alternative warming methods in
order to avoid or reduce hypothermia or to improve the patient's well-being.
Typical temperature curves are shown in the following figures.
