Monitor Only; Shutdown Procedure - Gaymar Medi-Therm III Mode D'emploi

MONITOR ONLY/Shutdown
*NOTE: The PATIENT temperature display
will begin to flash, the ALERT LED will flash
and the audible alarm will toggle when the
patient's temperature deviates by1.0°C or
more from the desired warming rate. This
alarm only applies when warming a patient in
MODERATE or GRADUAL modes.
In PATIENT CONTROL mode, if the machine
senses a patient probe temperature below
29°C or above 45°C, therapy will stop.
The CHECK PATIENT alert and audible alarm
will be on. When this occurs:
• Check the patient's temperature.
• Check also to determine if the
patient probe has become dislodged,
an incorrect probe is being used,
or the probe has become defective
(see Troubleshooting, pp. 12-13).
• Switch to BLANKET CONTROL mode
if continued therapy is desired.
NOTE: For patient probe temperatures
between 40°C and 45°C, therapy will still be
provided even though the CHECK PATIENT
alert light and audible alarm are on.
NOTE: If the PATIENT temperature does not get
to within 0.5°C. of the SET POINT temperature after
4 hours, the PATIENT display will flash and audible
alarm will sound.
When this occurs:
• Pressing the ALARM SILENCE button will silence
the alarm for 10 minutes.
• Check the patient's condition and consult with a
physician.
• Switch to BLANKET CONTROL mode if continued
therapy is desired.
• Changing the set point will restart the four-
hour timer.
NOTE: When using the rate controlled AUTO MODER-
ATE or AUTO GRADUAL modes for warming; switch-
ing to other modes, e.g. AUTO RAPID or MANUAL, or
changing the temperature set point during the therapy
will cause the Medi-Therm to reset the therapy. This may
impact the overall duration of the therapy depending on
when in the hourly cycle the mode is interrupted. The
therapy time duration is also dependent on the patient's
temperature at the time the AUTO MODERATE or
AUTO GRADUAL modes are re-selected.
