Your new Comfort Personal Cleansing
®
warmer is equipped with status indicators which are designed to provide
information on the heating status of the packages in the unit. The status indicators allow you to know the difference
between packages that have not been in the warmer long enough to reach the target temperature of 125°F (51.67°C)
and those that have. It will also tell you which packages have been in the warmer for an extended period of time, so
you can use those packages before others which have just been stocked that day—it is a prompt that helps you keep
your Comfort Personal Cleansing products fresh. To activate the status indicators, place a package in a slot and the
warmer does the rest. Here is a description of each of the three status indicator prompts:
Immediately next to each slot is a set of three arrows with the messages “NOT READY,” “READY,” and “TAKE
FIRST,” respectively.
1. NOT READY
The red arrow and message that reads “NOT READY” indicates the package in this slot has not been in the
warmer long enough to reach the target temperature. The red “NOT READY” arrow will remain lit for the
time it takes to heat the Comfort Personal Cleansing product (approximately 2 hours).
2. READY
The green arrow and message that reads “READY” indicates the package in this slot has been in the warmer
long enough to reach the target temperature and is ready for use.
3. TAKE FIRST
The blinking green arrow and message that reads “TAKE FIRST” indicates the package in this slot has been in
the warmer for an extended period of time and should be used before other packages. This feature helps you use
the cleansing products in your warmer in the order in which they were stocked. If more than a few packages of
a certain product type have the blinking “TAKE FIRST” arrow lit for an extended period of time, it may be
appropriate to cut down on the number of slots of that product code and restock them with one of your higher
usage products. If patient census is low and more than a few slots frequently indicate “TAKE FIRST,” it may
be appropriate to leave a few slots empty until product usage increases.
Testing has shown that an empty unit’s accessible interior metal surfaces—after a one hour stabilization period—will
measure 125° ±10°F (51.67°C ±5.5°C). This higher operating temperature is necessary to achieve desired Comfort
Personal Cleansing product temperature (as measured inside the product) of 125° ±5°F (51.67°C ±2.75°C) within two
hours of product insertion.
Additionally, the warmer is equipped with a protective device designed to turn the unit off in the event of overheating.
The warmer will remain inoperable until it has cooled.
Please refer to Comfort Personal Cleansing product packages for instructions, ingredients, warnings and
other information.
