OPERATION AND TECHNICAL MANUAL
Cincinnati Sub-Zero Products, LLC, reserves the right to make equipment changes and improvements, which may
not be reflected in this manual.
A physician’s order is required for setting temperature and use of equipment. At least every
20 minutes, or as directed by a physician, check the patient’s temperature and skin condition
of areas in contact with the blanket. Also check blanket water temperature. Pediatric,
temperature-sensitive patients with vascular disease, surgical patients, diabetics and
patients with Raynaud’s Disease should be checked more frequently. Notify the physician
promptly of any change, in order to avoid serious injury.
Observe patient’s skin condition frequently due to individual differences in sensitivity
and susceptibility to injury from cold and/or externally applied chemicals or pressure.
Patients at greatest risk are those unconscious, on prolonged therapy, diabetics,
children and persons incapacitated or with insensitive skin areas or poor circulation.
Prevent excessive and/or prolonged tissue pressure and shearing forces, especially over
bony prominences to prevent skin damage which may result.
Do not place additional heat or cold sources between the patient and blanket. Skin damage
may occur.
The area between the patient and the blanket should be kept dry to avoid injury to the
patient.
Do not use pins to secure pad or hoses. Do not allow pad or hoses to come in contact with
any sharp object. A water leak could cause a slip hazard.
Do not use the Electri-Cool
®
II system in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Risk of
explosion can result.
Power interruption will cause the Electri-Cool
®
II system to revert to the default range of 40°F
- 45°F (5°C - 7°C). Follow instructions for First Time Set-Up/System Test Routine to resume
operation. Failure to resume the desired therapy could result in injury.
In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply main with protective earth.
Electric shock hazard may be present. Do not remove cover.
Service is to be performed by qualified personnel only.
