Section Three describes how tooperate the unit in the Manual Control Mode, Automatic Control Mode, and MonitorOnly Manual is prepared for professional personnel who use the equipment for patientcare. It is designed to be stored with the Blanketrol II unit and to be readilyavailable for reference when operating the Blanketrol II DESCRIPTION OF THE Blanketrol II SYSTEMThe CSZ Blanketrol II, Model 222R Hyper-Hypothermia System is used to eitherlower or to raise a patient s temperature and/or maintain a desired patient temperaturethrough conductive heat CSZ Blanketrol II unit is composed of aheater, a compressor, a circulating pump, and a microprocessor board.

9 APPLICATIONSThe Blanketrol II unit is used primarily in Hospital Intensive and Coronary CareUnits, in Operating,Recovery and Emergency Rooms, in Burn Units, and onMedical/Surgical floors. This hyper-hypothermia system can be used with adult andpediatric patients to produce normothermia by lowering a patient s elevatedtemperature or raising a patient s sub-normal temperature. It can also be utilized tomaintain normal body temperature (normothermia) during surgical , this system can be used to produce moderate to profound hypothermia forsuch procedures as amputations, cardiopulmonary by-pass surgery, vascular surgery,and intracranial surgery.

10 Medically, this system can be used to decrease the rate ofcirculation, to reduce intracranial pressure, to control cerebral edema, and to reduceoxygen requirements. This system is also used in the treatment of burns, shock,cardiac arrest, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.(cont d)Water is heated or cooled and pumped from the unit to a blanket. The blanket* restsunder and/or on top of the patient and is designed so that the water circulates throughthe blanket and returns back to the cooled water is circulated through the blanket, the desired effect is to reduce thepatient s temperature. If warmed water is circulated through the blanket, the desiredeffect is to elevate the patient s Blanketrol II unit can be set so that it operates based on the temperature ofthe circulating water ( Manual Control) or it can be set so that it operates based on thetemperature of the patient (Automatic Control).
