ABOUT DRY HEAT THERAPY

Fluidotherapy® - Dry Heat Therapy

Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating • instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and hazards associated with using any electrical device. Observe the precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit.

•

DO NOT operate this unit in an environment where other devices are being used that intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy in an unshielded manner. Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this manual.

•

Portable and Mobile RF Communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.

•

This unit generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Harmful interference to other devices can be determined by turning this unit on and off. Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following: reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the separation between the equipment, connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from that which the other device(s) are connected and consult the DJO, LLC Service Department for help.

•

Clean Inlet Filter(s) daily before unit startup. Turn unit OFF before positioning a patient or removing a patient from • the unit.

•

Place the patient in a comfortable position allowing for correct placement of the limb being treated.

•

Secure all entry ports before turning the unit ON. Use only Cellex® Dry Heat Medium in the Fluidotherapy units.• Refill unit daily to proper fill level with Chattanooga Cellex Dry Heat • Medium.

Use only fingers to operate button controls on the control panel(s). Use of sharp • objects such as pencils or pens will result in damage to the unit. Check unit temperature before treating patient to ensure correct temperature.• This unit should be transported and stored in temperatures between -40 °F and • 158 °F (-40 °C and -70 °C) with Relative Humidity between 10% - 100% to prevent damage to the unit or its components. This unit should be operated in temperatures between 110 °F and 125 °F (43 °C and • 52 °C) to prevent damage to the unit or its components. DO NOT operate the unit when connected to any unit other than Chattanooga • devices. Change Cellex Dry Heat Medium every six (6) months.• Do not use accessories other than those supplied with the unit, or recommended • by DJO, LLC. The safety of other products has not been established, and their use could result in injury to the patient.

ABOUT DRY HEAT THERAPY

Fluidotherapy® - Dry Heat Therapy

Federal law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician or licensed • practitioner. This device should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician or licensed practitioner. Make certain the unit is electrically grounded by connecting only to a grounded • electrical service receptacle conforming to the applicable national and local electrical codes. Before administering any treatment to a patient, you should become acquainted • with the operating procedures for each mode of treatment available, as well as the indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions. Consult other resources for additional information regarding the application of Dry Heat Therapy. The Fluidotherapy Dry Heat Therapy Unit should not be used adjacent to or stacked • with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Fluidotherapy Dry Heat Therapy Unit should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. For continued protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with ones of the • same type and rating. This device should be kept away from children.• To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the unit from the power source before • attempting any maintenance procedures. Use only processed dry heat medium in the unit such as Cellex to prevent excessive • dusting. Use only accessories that are specially designed for this • unit. Do not use accessories manufactured by other companies on this unit. DJO, LLC is not responsible for any consequence resulting from using products manufactured by other companies. The use of other accessories or cables may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of this unit. Dispose of all products in accordance with local and national regulations and codes.• Fluidotherapy equipment not in use should be protected against unqualified use.•

The Fluidotherapy Dry Heat Therapy Unit is not suitable in the • presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

Perform all Preventive Maintenance as described in this manual. Failure to perform • the Preventive Maintenance could result in the Cellex medium entering the heat chamber of the unit and cause severe injury to patients as well as smoke damage to the facility and the Fluidotherapy unit.

The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions used for cleaning and • disinfecting the unit should be allowed to evaporate before the unit is used.

Fluidotherapy® - Dry Heat Therapy

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Before any maintenance is performed or attempted, unplug the unit from the power source to prevent the possibility of electrical shock.

CLEAN INLET FILTERS

At the end of each work day, unplug the unit and clean the Inlet Filters on the unit. Carefully remove the filter retainer and wash the filter and screen with a mild antibacterial soap and water. Thoroughly dry the filter and screen before placing back on the unit.

NOTE:

Should your unit have the earlier style inlet filters, gently clean the filter using a soft bristle brush. Be careful not to puncture or damage the filter. Should the filter become damaged, torn, or punctured, call your dealer for replacement of the filter before resuming operation.

REFILL WITH CELLEX MEDIUM

Refill the unit with Cellex Dry Heat Medium to approximately one (1) inch above the bottom of the arm treatment ports of the unit.

NOTE:

Use of other than Cellex Medium may cause premature failure of the Fluidotherapy unit(s).

INSPECT SLEEVE CONDITION

Inspect the port sleeves for tears, rips, and weak seams. Replace all sleeves that show signs of tears, rips, weak, or loose seams, or excessive wear. Keeping the sleeves in excellent condition prevents excessive spillage of the Cellex medium and prevents the medium from entering the heat chamber of the unit.

ARM PREHEAT TIMER

Plug the unit back into an approved power source. If the “Preheat Timer” is used, press the “PREHEAT TIMER” button once and the “PREHEAT TIMER ON” indicator will illuminate.

NOTE:

The "PREHEAT TIMER ON" indicator must be illuminated in order for the Preheat Timer to automatically come on at the default time the next morning. The Fluidotherapy Preheat Timer does not operate on Saturday or Sunday. However, for Monday morning preheat, set the unit as

described above on Friday evening.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Fluidotherapy® - Dry Heat Therapy

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Each week all sleeves of the Fluidotherapy unit should be laundered in a mild antibacterial detergent. Allow the sleeves to air dry or dry on a low temperature setting. Drying the sleeves in high temperatures could cause the sleeves to shrink or become distorted, resulting in the sleeve(s) not properly fitting when placing them back onto the unit.

REMOVING TOP SLEEVES (All Models)

Unplug the unit from the power source.

Carefully remove the rectangular bezel(s) from the top of the unit.

Carefully pull the hook and loop fasteners apart to remove the sleeve from the unit.

Replace in reverse order making certain the corners are well seated to form the seal required to prevent excessive escape of medium.

REMOVING END SLEEVE (Model FLU110D & FLU110DE)

Carefully pull the hook and loop fastener on the sleeve to remove sleeve from unit.

Replace in reverse order making certain the corners are well seated to form the seal required to prevent excessive escape of medium.
