DESCRIPTION
The CytoTherm-D4 (Model CT-D4) is a laboratory instrument for thawing
plasma while keeping the plasma bag dry. Tempered water is recirculated
through a bladder. The plasma bag to be thawed lays on one part of the
bladder, while rest of the bladder is folded over and covers the plasma
bag(s). The bladder is divided into segments which are pressurized at
different times to gently massage the plasma bag(s), thereby speeding
thawing. The plasma bag(s) remains dry.
There are 2 isolated sections. If a leak is detected, the thawing stops and an alarm sounds. The plasma bags in the other
section remains sterile.
A digital timer displays the time to completion of the thawing. The plasma bag is visible through the clear lid during
thawing so you can see when it has been fully thawed.
Each of the 2 sections can thaw two 450ml. bags or one 1,000ml. Jumbo bag for a total of 4 x 450ml. or 2 Jumbo bags.
All the air that comes in contact with the internal water is filtered with a 0.1 micron AIR FILTER.
SETTING-UP
The unit comes packed in 1 box. Make sure you have received the following:
….. Main Bath ….. 6 Y shaped blue silicone accelerators
….. Rack ….. Inlet and Outlet Port Plugs (4 of each)
….. Lid ….. Instruction Book
….. 4 Bladders, 2 of which are mounted inside RACK ….. Power Cord
….. Drain tubing ….. Algaecide (contiguous USA only)
….. 4 x Air Filters
For video instructions, visit www.cytotherm.com.
Place the Bath on a counter. Fill with tap water to the Water label inside the BATH. If you use deionized water, add a
pinch of salt to make the water conductive. Do NOT use saline solution. Add 3 ml. of Algicide Part #ALG240 (1.0 ml. per 4
liter of water available in contiguous USA only) to the water. Any other bath clearing agent can also be used.
Place the RACK and LID on the BATH. Lift the front of the rack and attach the tubing from the Bath right side to the
RACK left side fitting. Attach the BATH right side tubing to the RACK left side fitting. Push the front of the RACK down
and towards the center of the bath to engage the leak detector connectors (SS springs). Push the back of the RACK down
to squeeze the air seal.
The RACK has 2 bladders mounted inside. They are easy to remove and replace by just twisting the bladder FITTINGS
as you push down or pull up on the bladder FITTINGS.
Plug the unit in and turn it on. The bath will warm up and maintain the programmed thawing temperature, preset to
37.0
