New Patient – No Power Down

Change the Start-Up Kit

The console does not have to be powered down to start a new case. A new catheter, patient temperature
probe and Start-Up Kit are required for each patient – see Disposal of Used Components on page 68. To
immediately start a new case without powering down:
1. Place the console in Standby.
2. Delete the previous Patient Data – see below.
3. Verify the System Settings.
4. You may select to Pre-Cool or Pre-Warm the coolant using the settings menus.
5. Connect the New Patient.
6. Place the console in Run when desired.

Delete Previous Patient Data

To delete a previous patient's data and prepare the console for immediate use with a new patient without
powering off, follow these steps in the indicated order:
1. Press the Press for Menu/Enter knob once. The menu is displayed.
2. Turn the knob until New Patient is highlighted. Press the knob once to enter the selection.
3. The New Patient menu appears. The screen displays the message "Previous patient data must be
downloaded or deleted to proceed." Turn the knob until Delete is highlighted. Press the knob once to
enter the selection.
4. The screen displays the message "Are you sure you want to delete the previous patient data?" Press the
knob once to enter Yes.
5. The screen briefly displays the message "Previous patient data deleted" and then displays the Standby
screen.

Disposal of Used Components

WARNING. Single-use device – do not reuse. ZOLL intravascular heat exchange catheters and Start-Up Kit
components are single-use devices and may not be reprocessed or reused. The cyclical stresses of the peristaltic
pump on the catheter and Start-Up Kit cause fatigue failures. Do not use catheters or Start-Up Kits
beyond the labeled usage time. The product will fail.
Caution. Avoid contact with used components. Handle used components as medical waste.
To remove used components from the console and dispose of them properly, follow these steps in the indi-
cated order.
1. Ensure that the patient has been disconnected from the console and that the power switch has been
turned off.
2. Cross connect the loose ends of the Start-Up Kit when you disconnect it from the catheter. This will
reduce the amount of fluid that has to be cleaned up later.
3. Position a large empty medical waste container or collection bag near the console.
Caution. Do not disassemble Start-Up Kit. Do not disconnect the tubing connecting the components.
They are removed and disposed of as a complete unit. To avoid injury, do not disconnect the saline solu-
tion container.
4. Open the top cover of the console. Open the transparent top cover of the roller pump.
5. Remove the cap from the coolant well and set it aside in a clean location.
6. Remove the insulating jacket from the saline container and set it aside.
