ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions User information: Test results which must be achieved to ensure safe operation are outlined by a frame. The description for dismantling covers every possible assembly group and step. If a defective component or an assembly group are to be replaced, only the steps necessary for this should be performed.
Technical description General Applications The ASTOTHERM PLUS allows fluids supplied to patients to be heated, either to avoid or reduce hypothermia or to increase well-being. Applications include transfusions, infusions, dialysis, haemofiltration and apheresis. The warmer works in accordance with the principle of flow heating, i.e. the heat is transmitted by the heat exchanger via the sterile infusion extension to the fluid flowing within it.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions There are ASTOTHERM PLUS in the following variations Order no Heat exchanger Temperature Power ASTOLINE groove consumption actively-heated insulation up to the patient AP 200* 4 mm 40°C (fixed) 250 W AP 200 S* 4 mm 40°C (fixed)
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Description of the electronics C Temperature control: The temperature at the heat exchanger cylinder is controlled by a control unit consisting of a microprocessor, an A/D converter and a triac unit. The actual temperature is determined by two NTC sensors at the inlet (NTC1) and outlet (NTC2) (cf.
Page 8
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions C Watchdog device: The microprocessor is continuously monitored by a so-called watchdog circuit. If the microprocessor becomes defective due to a malfunction, the watchdog circuit emits a signal and the device goes to stand-by mode. C Mains power failure bridging: This is used to restart the device automatically in the previously selected state in the event of a brief power failure.

ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Important instructions All tests must be carried out by properly qualified staff, i.e. staff who have the relevant expert professional training, knowledge and experience and are familiar with the relevant technologies, standards and local rules and regulations. Personnel who have to assess safety must be able to recognise any consequences and dangers caused by devices which do not comply with the requirements.
(< 0,2 %) of aldehydes. For disinfecting the ASTOTHERM PLUS and the ASTOLINE, we recommend Bacillol plus from Bode Chemie in Hamburg, Meliseptol from B. Braun in Melsungen and Mikrozid Liquid or Mikrozid Pumpspray from Schülke &...
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Check display devices (LCD and LED): Connect the device to the mains at room temperature. All the display devices should come on for a brief period (cf. Figs 8 and 9). Fig. 8 Display elements of model 200(S) Fig.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Check temperature in control state (better with heat protection sleeve) The test thermistor (order-No. 9950.9000.35), a calibrated ohmmeter and the table of resistance/temperature in the appendix of these repair instructions are required for this purpose. Insert the test thermistor into the rear measuring bore on the side of the heat exchanger (see Fig. 10) and connect it with the ohmmeter.
ASTOTHERM PLUS 220(S) and 260(S) models with adjustable selected temperature. For the ASTOTHERM PLUS 200(S) models, there are no keys for changing temperature. In this case, the key names in brackets apply (cf. Figs 8 and 9 and operating instructions, Section “CONTROL PANEL”).

Device can be started, but heat In event of deviation from specified value (see exchanger cylinder does not get Section 6.4): Y Change heat exchanger and calibrate the unit.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Dismantling Generally-applicable safety conditions and precautions apply to dismantling the ASTOTHERM PLUS. All electrical installations must comply with the applicable national standards and regulations in each case. During dismantling, ensure that the device is reliably disconnected from the mains. Electronic components can contain a residual current even after the device is switched off.
Prevent the heat exchanger/transformer board assembly from rolling away. The device is now dismantled into individual groups. Fig. 15 ASTOTHERM PLUS and ASTOLINE dismantled into assemblies Revision: 6 – 03/2010 Page 31...
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Dismantling bottom part assembly Mains cable and screw connection: a) Undo the union nut of the cable gland until the mains cable can be pulled out. Place the bottom part on the fixing unit. b) Should the cable gland have to be completely dismantled, the nut on the inside needs to be undone using a double cranked hex ring spanner (WAF 22).
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Dismantling the top part assembly CAUTION When handling the top part, ensure that the bolts are not put under lateral strain - this can lead to fracture of the bolts or of the housing domes. Operating board: a) Place the top part on its front.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Dismantling the device fixing assembly Dismantling for cleaning purposes: a) Push the bolts out of the base plate using a drift. b) Push the base plate off the clamps. c) Unscrew the clamp on the right of the threaded shaft. Remove the rectangular nut on the right and unscrew the knurled screw.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Assembling the device The safety information in Section 6 applies to assembly of the ASTOTHERM PLUS device! Procedure for assembly: assembly steps are described in individual sections by assembly group. Assembling the device fixing assembly a) Prepare all the parts as shown in Fig. 16. Ensure that the base plate with the depression for the rating plate is facing upwards.
Page 36
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions d) Clamp the fixing strip on the correct side on the front between the edge of the heat exchanger and the transformer board. The fixing strip has an opening for the bimetallic switch of the heating system.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions h) Turn the unit round. Connect the earth wire and the heating cable to the transformer board in accordance with mains voltage (see printed information on the transformer board). Assembly of the top part assembly CAUTION When handling the top part, ensure that the bolts are not put under lateral strain.

ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Operating board: Fit the key extensions to the keys of the operating board. The key extensions must lie level on the keys. g) Push operating board into the lateral guide rails of the housing at an angle and suspend behind the bottom mounting screws.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Assembling the bottom part assembly Device fixing: a) Place the preassembled device fixing (as per Section 7.1) on the clamps so that the handwheel points to the left. b) Insert o-ring seals in the depressions of the base plate at the screw bores.

ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Devices with equipotential bonding plug: Push the O-ring seal over the thread of the equi- potential bonding plug and insert this in the housing bore from the outside. k) Put on the washer and tighten the nut with an open- ended spanner (WAF 10).
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Final assembly of assemblies Once the individual assemblies are prepared, they can be joined to form a complete ASTOTHERM PLUS device. Heat exchanger assembly and top part assembly: a) If necessary insert new sealing rings in the end-face grooves of the heat exchanger.

ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Bottom part assembly k) Push mains cable through the cable gland in the prepared bottom part from the outside. Push mains cable (and, if necessary, the equipotential bonding cable (EP cable)) through the opening of the transformer board from underneath.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Electrical safety test The following checks are to be performed and recorded after any repair or modification to electrical medical equipment. (For exact testing guidelines, see EN 62353.) All checks must be passed according to the limit values! Before conducting the tests, ensure that test equipment is calibrated and in perfect condition.
ASTOTHERM PLUS Repair Instructions Continous duty test Once the functional check of the ASTOTHERM PLUS blood and infusion warmer is complete, a continuous duty test needs to be carried out in conclusion. In this test, note room temperature and ambient effects! As the control temperature is set accurate to a few tenths of a C, note the following points:...
