The safety precautions described in these operating
instructions (e.g. avoiding placing the device on EEG
equipment) must be strictly adhered to.
• Note: In order to avoid hazards, the unit should
be only used at direct current low voltage power
sources (12V up to 28V), as e.g. by on-board po-
wer supply systems of rescue vehicles or by the
optional Geratherm power adapter. As well the
use of suitable batteries is possible.
• It should be noted that portable and mobile HF
communication equipment could affect medical
devices.
• The use of extension cables can cause dysfunctions.

water, snow and similar substances the patient’s
body temperature could cool down as long as the
device is disconnected.
• All of the Geratherm UniqueResc
+
must not be
operated on DC or AC power out of the indicated
range (12 – 28V). Connections to other power
supplies respectively the operation on not approved
adapters can result in serious personal injury and
material damage. Only special Geratherm adapters
are allowed to be used.
• If the Geratherm power adapter is applied it should
be only connected to one warming blanket!
