MINI Device
The CritiCool
®
MINI device has a microprocessor that controls the water
temperature flowing into the wrap worn by the patient. The water
temperature is controlled and maintained to the desired set point by
measuring the actual patient temperature (core and surface) and
adjusting the temperature of the wrap accordingly.
Water flow in the wrap is regulated by timed pauses of the flow during
clinical operation.
In TTM and Normothermia modes, during the initial phase of regulation,
the flow cycle is 12 minutes ON and 1 minute OFF.
In steady state (when the Core Temp is within the Set Point range), the
cycle is 12 minutes ON and 12 minutes OFF.

MINI Battery
CritiCool
®
MINI is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery which
allows the system to work without an external power supply for up to 60
minutes. The battery is shipped with a 30% charge and will need to be fully
charged before the first use.
Power Cable Connection
Connect the power cable to a hospital-grade power outlet.
Grounding the System
To protect the patient and hospital personnel, the CritiCool
®
MINI system
must be grounded. Accordingly, the system is equipped with a detachable
3-wire cable which grounds the instrument to the power line ground
(protective earth) when plugged into an appropriate 3-prong receptacle.
WARNING!!!
Do not use a 3-to-2-wire adapter with this instrument.
