Touchscreen Control -AUTO Mode Example
a.
This screen appears when valid
conditions are present to operate in
AUTO mode (Warming devices are
plugged in and a valid patient
temperature is detected).
b.
The clinician selects (
✓
) to engage
AUTO mode.
c.
AUTO Mode automatically sets all connected
Warming Devices to the highest temperature setting.
Patient temperature is displayed and logged for the
case. Patient temperature data can be permanently
logged to the EMR via the T
out
port in increments of
0.1
°
C when using the appropriate cable. This prevents
loss of data if power stops unexpectedly. Start time of
AUTO is logged as T-0 for the duration of the case.
Device warming settings are not logged.
d.
When the predetermined level of patient
normothermia is achieved, the Device
’s
temperature settings are automatically
adjusted downward in increments based
on the percentage of the normothermia
zone. See Table 2 on page 8 for an
example.
e.
Device remains in AUTO mode until the AUTO mode
icon is deselected. The clinician can reenter AUTO
mode by reselecting the AUTO mode icon. If the
patient temperature is deemed invalid while in AUTO
mode, the Controller will display an E7 Alert
indicating that AUTO mode is disengaged. At this
point the Warming Devices will turn to standby, and
the clinician will need to operate warming manually.
6.
When patient warming therapy is complete, turn the Mains Power Switch to OFF.
7.
After use, disconnect the Controller from the electrical outlet.
