WARNING
If during the safety checks you find parts are missing, are
excessively worn, do not function properly, or do not meet
the recommended safe operating levels, do not operate the
equipment until the maintenance department has taken the
appropriate corrective action.
Perform the following safety checks daily for the
Cascade™ Reservoir:
1. Temperature Read-Out Accuracy - Close the reservoir release
valve and partially fill the reservoir with 95 to 105 degrees
Fahrenheit water. Open the reservoir release valve and test the
temperature of the water with a thermometer and by letting the
water flow over your wrist. The water temperature should be
consistent with the thermometer reading and should not feel too
hot or too cold.
The above information concerning daily maintenance and safety
checks must be recorded in the patient’s record and must be
communicated to the staff.
