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 NORM-O-TEMP
®
unit as described in Section 3-2.1.
