TTM Mode Messages
The thermoregulation system may have one of three conditions:
1. Core Temperature above the Set Point [Tc >= Tsp]
In this condition, temperature control starts without further user action.
2. Core Temperature is above 31
°
C but lower than the Set Point by
0.8
°
C
[31°C < Tc < (Tsp - 0.8)]
or
the core temperature is lower than the
preset low patient temperature alarm.
In this condition, temperature control continues and warms the patient toward the
set point.
An informative message appears and an audible alarm will sound.
Pressing MUTE stops the audible alarm for 30 minutes. The written
message on the screen is removed only when the
∆
<= 0.6
°
C.

3. Core temperature is lower than the set point by more than 2°C
(
∆
(Tsp
-
Tcore)> 2°C) or if Tc < 31°C
This message could indicate that the core temperature probe might be out
of place.
The following message appears: “Temperature Regulation Paused. Core
Readout too Low. Confirm Sensor Position. Press OK to continue.”
