CardioQuip Modular Cooler-Heater Operator/Service Manual
General Information
Introduction
The CardioQuip Modular Cooler-Heater (MCH) brings easy and accurate temperature control to
the operating room. The latest touchscreen technology offers fast, user-friendly, multi-language
device control. Redundant software and hardware failsafes ensure patient safety. A combination
of audible and visual alerts enable effective monitoring without undue distraction. Conscientious
design declutters the perfusionist's work area to allow more workspace. Thanks to intelligent
features such as self priming, automatic defrost, and patent-pending Adaptive Temperature
Control™ technology, the MCH requires significantly less operator intervention than traditional
cooler-heaters, giving the perfusionist more time for patient care.
Indications for Use
The CardioQuip Modular Cooler-Heater (MCH) is indicated to supply temperature-controlled
water to heat exchange devices (e.g.; Cardiopulmonary Bypass Heat Exchangers) to help control
a patient's temperature during extracorporeal circulatory support and/or thermal regulation
procedures lasting not longer than six hours.
The MCH is intended to be operated by, or under the supervision of, a qualified perfusionist.
This device is not designed, sold or intended for use except as indicated. While there are no
known contraindications, use of the MCH for purposes other than those indicated places
responsibility for performance and results with the user.
Expected Service Life
The MCH, when properly maintained and operated according to these instructions, should
provide at least ten years of reliable service in a typical hospital environment.
