5.1 Assembly and installation
Geratherm UniqueResc
+
warming blankets must be laid on
the patient in such a way that they cover as large a propor-
tion of the patient‘s body surface as possible.
The range of different warming blankets enables an opti-
mum covering of the most frequently case of operations
possible.
5.2 Positioning the blankets
• Do not lay the patient on top of the Geratherm
UniqueResc
+
warming blankets!
• Put the warming blankets on the patient in such a
way that the control unit´s window side is facing
away the patient.
The warming blankets can be put directly on the pa-
tient; strongly insulating layers placed in between
will inhibit the transfer of heat to the patient.
• Note:
If the warming blankets are placed on the
patient with the side on which the control unit is
positioned facing the patient, the patient will not
be warmed, i.e. Geratherm UniqueResc
+
will not
have any effect!
