US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Use distilled water only. Do not use De-Ionized water. De-Ionized water may cause
corrosion to plumbing system components. Do not use tap water. Minerals and deposits
can clog plumbing system components.
Do not use alcohol. Alcohol may cause blanket and unit deterioration.
Do not overfill. Overfilling may result in overflow when the water in the blanket drains back
into the system when it is turned off.
Use only hospital grade power plug, or electrical shock may result.
Do not operate pump without pad connected or with pad clamps in the “closed” position.
Always check clamps to make sure they are fully open.
Check hose couplings to be certain that they are properly locked together.
Make sure hose and pads are free of kinks which might restrict flow.
Complete folding of pad may restrict flow and reduce therapy to patient.
The pad surface should be checked for damage prior to each application.
To ensure maximum therapy is delivered, it may be necessary to retain the pad on the
patient with straps for adequate contact with the patient.
Follow pad instructions as well as hospital/physician instructions for applying, storing and
disposal of product.
Special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility are required and the Electri-
Cool
®
II needs to be installed and put into service according to the electromagnetic
compatibility information provided. Electromagnetic compatibility refers to electronic devices
unintentionally affecting the operation of each other by emitting electromagnetic energy.
Due to electromagnetic compatibility, other equipment can affect the Electri-Cool
®
II system.
The Electri-Cool
®
II should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. Other
equipment includes ventilators, patient monitors, anesthesia delivery equipment, etc. If
adjacent placement or stacking is necessary, the Electri-Cool
®
II and the other equipment
should be observed to verify that it is operating normally in the mode that is set.
If the Electri-Cool
®
II system or other equipment is not operating normally, remove the device
from service and have a biomedical or service technician observe the device in operation.
Refer to the specifications section for recommended separation distances between other
equipment and the Electri-Cool
®
II system.
For safe handling and use of chemicals, follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning.
Always drain the Electri-Cool
®
II to a sanitary drain because bio-contaminants may be
present in the unit’s water supply.
