Instruction Manual CERATHERM 600-3
The radiant heater may increase patient water loss unnoticeably. It is vital that
the patient is constantly monitored by the care staff -> Risk to patient safety.
Changing the underlay (using dark cloths, heating pads etc.) can result in
higher temperatures on the reclining surface and affect the patient's body
temperature -> Risk to patient safety.
Do not touch the patient and the radiant heater simultaneously. Possible
potential differences between the unit and the care surface may place patient
safety at risk.
The radiant heater always functions as a manual radiant heater. No patient
information is transmitted to the unit during use. The care personnel are
therefore responsible for the patient's condition at all times.
Ensure that no liquids enter the unit. If liquids do enter the inside of the unit,
shut the unit down immediately and have it checked by an authorised
person and repaired as required. A safety check must be performed before the
unit can be used again.
The radiant heater is fitted with an LED bulb to light up the care surface / the
patient's body. Ensure that neither user nor patient look directly into the bulb.
External conditions can affect the radiant heater's performance. Do not
operate the unit at temperatures below +5°C or over +30°C. The relative
humidity should not exceed 90%. Ensure that no condensation forms on the
unit.
External conditions (such as temperature and drafts) and other equipment in
the vicinity (e.g. phototherapy equipment) can affect the patient's body
temperature.
