SECTION 2. GENERAL PREPARATION OF THE MICRO-TEMP
®
LT
SYSTEM
2-1. INTRODUCTION
This section describes the procedures to prepare the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT unit for general use. This
entails unpacking the shipment, arranging all the equipment for the first time, and completing a test
routine. This section also outlines the bactericidal agent preparations, standard safety precautions,
and patient preparation/bedside care when using the hyperthermia pad(s). Technical support is
available upon request.
2-2. UNPACKING THE SHIPMENT
Remove the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT from service if the outer casing or membrane control panel
is cracked or internal components are exposed. Contact with internal components could
result in electric shock or thermal injury to the patient or operator and exposure to
sharp edges.
During the unpacking process, look carefully for signs of shipping damage. If any unacceptable
damage is found, notify the transportation company immediately and file a claim. The
transportation company is responsible for the shipment after it leaves the factory. If problems other
than shipping damage are found, notify your Cincinnati Sub-Zero representative or the Factory.
2-3. FIRST TIME SET-UP/SYSTEM TEST ROUTINE
This section describes the tasks necessary to inspect and arrange the equipment for the first time
after unpacking, and describes a System Test Routine to check the membrane control panel.
The System Test Routine can also be used to teach operators who are unfamiliar with the
equipment how to use the unit.
2-3.1. INSPECTING AND ARRANGING THE EQUIPMENT
A. Place the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT unit in an uncluttered work space that is accessible to
the correct power source with an ambient temperature between 20°C – 35°C (68°F –
95°F) Position the unit so that the membrane control panel faces the operator. See
Section (7) for electrical specifications.
B. Visually inspect the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT unit to determine that there are no missing
parts, unusual dents, or punctures.
