Control and operation
HICO-VARIOTHERM 550
32
Water pads can be coupled and decoupled whether the unit is
switched on or off.
Disconnecting water pads when the unit is switched on:
► In heating operation at 39 °C: Reduce the nominal
temperature before you disconnect the water pad.
► In cooling operation at 15 °C: Increase the nominal
temperature before you disconnect the water pad. The sterile
filtered tap water in the circuit of the unit can otherwise
temporarily exceed the high or low temperature limit and
possibly trigger various alarms.
Intermediate layers between the patient and water pad (sheets,
surgical cloths, gel pads etc.) adversely affect the heat transfer.
► The use of a thin fleece as an intermediate layer is
recommended. Direct skin contact with the pad, which is
made of plastic, can lead to skin damage and increases the
risk of bedsore.
► Pay attention to crease-free installation of the fleece.
