DESCRIPTION The CytoTherm DR (Model CT-DR) is a laboratory instrument for thawing plasma while keeping the plasma bag dry. Tempered water is recirculated through a bladder. The plasma bag to be thawed lays on one part of the bladder, while the rest of the bladder is folded over to cover the plasma bag.
Turn the power switch ON. The heater will heat to maintain 37 C. The pump will pulse to recirculate the water and the display will indicate the temperature. INSTALLATION CHECK LIST. 1. Make sure that the electrical outlet is properly wired. It must be grounded and the polarity must be correct. 2.
LEAKS In case of a leak, the alarm will sound and the thawing will stop. Open the LID to see which bag leaked. The leak will be confined to only one of the 3 sections. The other sections are not contaminated. Determine what leaked: 1.
When the temperature reaches 1.0C above the target temperature the alarm will sound. Turn Off the unit. If alarm does not sound, contact CytoTherm. Alarm test should be performed every 3 months as part of unit maintenance.
