The device may not be set up and operated in direct proximity to devices which generate high levels of excess heat. Only sterile BIEGLER consumable materials may be used in conjunction with the protherm II. Safety Instructions for consumable materials: ...
DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The BIEGLER protherm II is a warmer for infusions and transfusions at high flow rates. The device operates on the basis of the dry heat principle and uses warming plates heated on both sides. The medium is heated rapidly, efficiently and gently by using three independently controlled heat zones.

(Diag.1/3). The warming bag hangs without creases in the open device. Close the protherm II and lock with the clips on the right side (Diag.1/6). Place the air trap in the mounting provided (Diag.1/2).
II ALARMS The protherm II can trigger two types of temperature alarm: Software high temperature alarm Hardware high temperature alarm Condition The high temperature alarm is If the temperature rises above 45 °C triggered when the temperature of due to a software error, at 46 °C ±...
II The low temperature alarm is activated when the average temperature from the three zones fall below 36.5 °C. The audio low temperature alarm is deactivated during the first 60 seconds after switching on. The high temperature alarm is activated when the temperature of one of the six heating plates exceeds 43.0 °C.
→ return device for servicing MAINTAINANCE The protherm II is designed as a low-maintenance device. For long-term maintenance of quality and functional safety, the following points have to be observed: Always keep the device clean (see the "Cleaning and disinfection" section).
CHECKING THE WARM-UP PERIOD This is the time taken by the protherm II to heat up to 38.5 °C from room temperature. If this time is much more than one minute, there is a malfunction. CHECKING THE CONTROL TEMPERATURE The control temperature is checked on the lower third of the rear heating plates, about 7 cm from the right-hand edge of the device.

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the protherm II is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the protherm II should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the protherm II.
