Operating the NORM-O-TEMP ® System
4-0.
Introduction
This section describes how to operate the NORM-O-TEMP
®
system in order to control the
blanket/pad water temperature.
For proper knowledge and understanding of the unit, in-service training is available upon
request.
4-1.
Arranging the System Components
A. Collect all supplies and equipment
a. NORM-O-TEMP
®
unit
b. Hyper-hypothermia blanket/pad(s)
c. Dry sheet, if necessary.
d. Connecting hose, if necessary.
e. Distilled water
B. Place the NORM-O-TEMP
®
unit in the patient area, accessible to the correct power source.
Ensure the NORM-O-TEMP
®
unit is positioned to prevent tipping and unintended motion.
C. Refer to Section 1-3 for features of the unit and membrane control panel.
D. Check that the power switch is in the “O” position (unit is off).
E. Check the level of distilled water in the reservoir. To do so, slide the cover of the water fill
opening and check if the water is visibly touching the strainer. If needed, carefully add
distilled water. Do not use de-ionized water. Do not overfill. If the water falls below a
preset level, the alarm sounds and the LO WATER LED lights up. The pump and heater
shut down and the operator cannot proceed until this is corrected by refilling the unit and
resetting the alarm.
F. Inspect the power plug for bent or missing prongs. Do not by-pass ground lug. Electrical
hazards may result.
G. Insert the plug into a properly grounded hospital grade receptacle.
H.
Lay the hyper-hypothermia blanket/pad flat with the hose routed, without kinks, towards
the unit.
I. If the blanket/pad is already filled, check that there are no leaks.
Water leaks present a
risk of infection. Leaking blankets/pads should never be used.
J. Cover the blanket/pad with a dry sheet (if necessary).
K.
Connect the blanket/pad to the NORM-O-TEMP
®
unit as described in Section 3-2.1.
L.
If a single-patient use hyper-hypothermia blanket/pad is used, connect the couplings of
the connecting hose to the blanket/pad as described in the instructions packaged with
each blanket/pad.
