Standby
Figure 4.2. Operating Display - Standby
In Standby you can interact with the full user interface of the console. You can select the target temperature,
the rate and the treatment mode.
Patient temperature alarms are active in Standby if the primary patient temperature probe (T1) is connected.
The coolant bath temperature graph is active in Standby.
From Standby you may toggle into and out of Run. You may only return to Setup by powering down the con-
sole.
Run - Treatment Modes
Once you are ready to begin treatment, you may move from Standby to Run. The console will become fully
operational provided that all its sensors indicate that it is ready. Alerts will trigger if it is not.
There are three treatment modes in Run: "Max Power", "Controlled Rate" and "Fever".
Max Power (MAX)
In this treatment option, the console aims to make the patient's temperature the same as the selected target
temperature. The peristaltic pump may stop temporarily when:
•
The patient temperature is the same as the target temperature, or
•
When you change the target temperature from cooling the patient to warming the patient, or vice versa.
The peristaltic pump automatically resumes operating to make the patient's temperature the same as tar-
get temperature.
Controlled Rate
In this treatment option, the console will attempt to move the patient's temperature to the target temperature
at the programmed rate of heat exchange (°C /hr). When the patient reaches the target temperature, the con-
sole will revert to the MAX treatment option i.e. it will attempt to make the patient's temperature the same as
the selected target temperature.
Note. Controlled Rate operates in both warming and cooling modes.
