Fever (FVR)
In this treatment option, the console will start cooling the patient once the patient temperature is above the
target temperature. It does this by keeping the bath at its coldest permissible temperature and then operating
the peristaltic pump whenever the patient's temperature moves above the target temperature.
WARNING. "Lo" patient temperature alarm limit with "Fever". The console will not warm the patient
when the "Fever" treatment option has been selected. The "Lo" patient temperature alarm limit ensures that
an alarm occurs should the patient stop regulating his/her own body temperature. Such patients will cool to
room temperature. This can occur when the patient dies or becomes comatose. Investigate all patient tem-
perature alarms.
