WARNING
 Leaky pads or hoses, as well as unapproved pads should never be used. Water leaks present
a risk of infection and should be handled accordingly.
 Do not use the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT system in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Risk of
explosion can result.
 For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with same type and rating of fuse.
Electrical hazards may result.
 This device is still energized when the inlet switch is in the off position. To completely
disconnect the device from the power source, remove the appliance plug from the back of the
unit. Electrical hazards may result.
 Always unplug the unit before accessing internal components during service. Failure to unplug
the unit could result in electric shock.
 Do not by-pass ground on power cord plug. Electrical Hazards may result.
 Working with electronic boards, plugs, and cables requires delicate handling. Proper
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedure should be followed during replacement of any
electronic board.
 Use only CSZ provided hospital grade power cord assembly and used in conjunction with
a properly grounded receptacle or electric shock may result.
 Do not position unit near any objects that can generate a strong electrical/magnetic field. If
interference is observed, re-locate the unit away from such devices. Potential electromagnetic
interference may result.
 Keep air vents free of debris and obstruction. Keep unit, specifically the air vents, away from
curtains or other obstructions. Blockage of vents could result in the unit overheating which
could render the unit unable to provide adequate therapy and excessive surface
temperatures could cause injury of patient or operator.
 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.
 Before returning the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT to patient use after repairs, the MAINTENANCE
CHECKLIST in Section 4 must always be performed. Improper repair and inadequate
maintenance can result in system damage and patient injury.
 The repair, calibration, and servicing of the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT should be performed by qualified
Medical Equipment Service Technicians, Certified Biomedical Electronics Technicians, or
Certified Clinical Engineers familiar with good repair practices for servicing medical devices, and
in accordance with instructions contained in this manual. Improper repair can result in system
damage and patient injury.
 ALL ground wires must be connected. Improper grounding may result in electric shock.
 The warming of transdermal medications (patches) can increase drug delivery, resulting in
possible injury to the patient.
 To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth.
 Do not use the Micro-Temp
®
LT system distal to arterial cross clamping. Thermal injury may
result.
 Proper sanitation procedures must be practiced and hygienic safety must be maintained, to
prevent contamination. Contamination can affect patient’s health, i.e. skin irritation/rash or sepsis
and infection may result.
 Materials of good thermal conductivity, such as water, gel and similar substances on the blanket,
with the MICRO-TEMP
®
LT not switched on may decrease the temperature of the patient.
