Measure
Intermittent alarm
tone 1 : 2
High intensity
The emitted radiation intensity is
higher than the selected intensity,
caused by accumulation of heat,
external heating source or device
failure. Heating is cut-off. Patient
temperature is influenced.
Reset the audible alarm
with button (6.4) and
watch the patient. If this
alarm is released
repeatedly within short
time, the device must be
taken out of operation
and checked.
No alarm tone
High intensity
The emitted radiation intensity is
higher than the selected intensity,
caused by an adjustment of the
selected intensity. Device cools
off to the new selected value.
Patient temperature is influenced.
None. After cooling-off
device proceeds
operating in normal
mode.
Intermittent alarm
tone 1 : 2
Low intensity
The emitted radiation intensity is
lower than the selected intensity.
The reason could be draught,
convection or a device failure.
Patient becomes hypothermic.
Reset audible alarm with
button (6.4) and watch
the patient. Watch bar
graph (6.12b) whether
radiation intensity will
drop further. If this is the
case, the device must be
taken out of operation
and checked.
No alarm tone
Low intensity
The emitted radiation intensity is
lower than the selected intensity.
Either the device is in the
heating-up state or a higher
intensity was selected (6.13). The
emitted intensity is possibly not
be sufficient to keep the patient
warm.
Watch the patient until
the selected intensity is
