Page 7: Cautions
Safety Information WARNING WarmTouch™ CareDrape™ and CareQuilt™ blankets are for single patient use only. WARNING The warming system should not be operated in the presence of electromagnetic fields that are greater than 3 volts/meter. This could cause shutdown of the warming system by the fail-safe function within the equipment.
Page 8 Safety Information Caution The warming system is fitted with an air filter; however, airborne contamination should be considered when using the warming system. Caution If the warming system is mounted on the intravenous (IV) pole, it should be installed with the top of the unit’s handle less than 76 cm (30 inches) above the floor to prevent the IV pole from tipping over.
Page 9: Introduction
Overview Introduction Overview This chapter provides an introduction to the WarmTouch™ Model WT-5300A patient warming system. Intended Use The WarmTouch™ Model WT-5300A patient warming system (warming unit and blanket) is intended for prevention and treatment of hypothermia. For example, with the surgical patient, the patient in the preoperative holding area, the pregnant woman who shivers during epidural anesthesia due to hypothermia, or any patient who is uncomfortable in the cold critical care environment.
Page 10: Safety Features
Introduction In creating this warm customized pocket of air around the hypothermic patient, it is important to note that stagnant air, even if it is warm, does not work as an effective heat transfer medium. Stagnant air acts as an insulator, preventing the boundary layer of molecules next to the skin surface from transferring heat.
Page 11: Alarms
A yellow warning light illuminates whenever the control system identifies an over-temperature condition. Alarms The WarmTouch control circuit manages and monitors operation of the patient warming system. Should the control circuit encounter a failure condition, it reports failures using both visual and audible alarms. The visual alarm is a...
Page 12: Hepa Filter
Introduction HEPA Filter Caution The HEPA filter must be changed every 2,000 hours of operation. Refer to the Routine Maintenance section in the Service Manual for replacement procedures requiring a qualified technician. The system's High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter is 99.97% efficient at 0.3-micron particle size.
