Appendix B: The Effect of Ambient Temperature on Valve Adjustment
Ambient temperature affects the number of adjustment cycles that can be completed before the transmitter reaches the
temperature safety shut-off limit. It also has an effect on how quickly the transmitter will cool. In warm environments
(>30 °C), the program unit reaches the temperature shut-off limit more quickly, and cools more slowly than in cooler
environments (<20 °C).
Store the program unit and transmitter in a cool, dry location. Avoid storage in areas with high heat or high humidity.
"TRANSMITTER HEAD COOLING" Message
If repeated adjustment attempts cause the transmitter to become warm, the following LCD message indicates that the
temperature limit has been exceeded:
CAUTION: The temperature safety shut-off limit was chosen to ensure patient safety. Remove the transmitter from
contact with the patient while the message "TRANSMITTER HEAD COOLING PLEASE WAIT" is displayed.
When the transmitter has cooled, the program unit displays the following message:
*If the program unit is in the Packaged Valve mode, this line of the message will read "PACKAGED VALVE."
Note: If the above message does not appear within one hour, return the transmitter for service.
