Richmar HydraThermDT - Symbols Glossary; Precautionary Instructions

CAUTIONS
• The HydraTherm DT Heating Unit is
intended for clinical/professional
use ONLY.
• Read, understand and practice
the precautionary and operating
instructions. Know the limitations
associated with the HydraTherm DT
Heating Unit. Observe the cautionary
and operational decals installed on the
Product.
• On the initial startup of the Heating Unit
or when new packs are added check the
water level every 2 hours for a period of
8 hours. This will prevent running the
heater with low water levels as some
new heat packs absorb water.
NOTE: Richmar DOES NOT recommend
using other heat pack products, as we
have not tested the safety of those heat
packs and their use could result in injury to
patients. Richmar recommends only using
HydraHeat Packs, which do not absorb
water, used at safer temperatures than
other like heat packs, can be sanitized
between uses, and helps to reduce
maintenance tasks.
