Before applying
to human body pay attention to the following items
Use only mattresses specified in accordance with the intended application to
neonate and babies.
Place protective interlayer between mattress and neonate skin surface; see below
Mattresses must not be touched with sharp or tipped objects due to risk of puncture
damage. Liquid may escape!
Attention:
Avoid direct contact of mattress or cool wrap with fresh
or non- closed wounds, infectious areas, areas with
ulceration and abcesses, rash and burns.
Application
see Notes Section 6, too
Place mattress horizontally spread onto a level support. Ensure that mattress and ports
(6) are on the same level, approximately.
Use only mattresses specified or recommended by TEC COM as the manufacturer of
the TECOTHERM NEO systems, or authorised distributors.
Use
thin
disposable protective interlayer which must at least fully cover the mattress
with 5 cm larger border area all around. Such protective interlayer must be coated at
lower side with plastics coating to prevent penetration of blood, liquids or liquid
media onto the surface of the mattress. It also provides protection against fluid
escaping from the mattress and coming in contact with the patient’s skin. After use,
discard protective interlayer.
Place mattress onto a
10 - 20 mm thick thermally insulating layer (elastic foamy
plastics) for ensuring good thermal insulation during hypothermia operation.
