If you do not have a HOTLINE® TEMP CHECK thermometer,
units may be returned to Smiths Medical for temperature
verification.
Set up the HOTLINE® ready for use as before. Attach the TEMP
CHECK thermometer to the interlock block of the HOTLINE® and
connect the Disposable Set to the TEMP CHECK.
Carefully unpeel the black sticker from the back of the
HOTLINE®, and loosely attach it in a safe place ready for re-use. Plug
the TEMP CHECK ’s Mains cable into the Auxiliary Outlet socket of
the HOTLINE®.
NOTE: The Auxiliary Outlet is for use only with approved accessories
supplied by your Smiths Medical distributor for that purpose.
Run the HOTLINE® for 15 minutes to allow the temperature to
stabilise. Verify that:
■ the TEMP CHECK indicates a recirculating solution tempera-
ture between 41°C and 42°C
■ The HOTLINE®’s display indicates the same temperature.
If either of these conditions is not met, the unit will require
either recalibration or repairing and recalibration before it can be
returned to active service.
If both conditions are satisfied, dismantle the test assembly,
and replace the black sticker over the Aux socket. Document the
date and results of your tests and return the HOTLINE® to active
service.
