GENERAL INFORMATION

ENTHERMICS MEDICAL SYSTEMS

OCM/EC1540 11/06

This warming cabinet is designed to elevate blanket

temperatures to a level which will increase patient comfort.

The dual-chambered warming cabinet is constructed with

20 gauge stainless steel exterior casing and door with handle and

hinges designed to withstand heavy usage. Doors with windows

allow observation of inventory with the doors closed. The

cabinet is warmed using the patented Halo Heat® low-heat-

density electrothermal cable array. The electrothermal cable is

positioned in the floor and two sides of the warming cabinet,

providing even heating of the interior chamber. The interior

chamber temperature is regulated by an electronic control. The

design and operational characteristics of the cabinet eliminate the

need for a heat circulating fan.

Each chamber has its own electronic control consisting of

a 4 digit L.E.D. display, ON/OFF key, INCREASE and

DECREASE keys, TIMER key, integrated LOCK feature and a

series of prompt sequence indicators. Each electronic control has

an adjustable temperature range of 90° to 200°F (32° to 94°C).

A warming shut-off system, separate from the electronic control,

prevents overheating.

The TIMER key allows the user to program the control

to automatically turn on and turn off once during a 24 hour

period at selected times. The electronic control can easily be

set to operate in Fahrenheit or Celsius. After a power failure,

the cabinet will remember its programming and begin to

operate as before. The ON/OFF indicator will blink to indicate

a failure occurred; pressing the ON/OFF key once will

eliminate this blinking.

Each chamber is equipped with one (1) white, epoxy-coated

blanket support assembly and one (1) center shelf. The cabinet

is furnished with one (1) set of 5" (127mm) heavy duty casters,

two with locking brake.

AT NO TIME SHOULD THE INTERIOR OR
EXTERIOR BE STEAM CLEANED, HOSED
DOWN, OR FLOODED WITH WATER OR
LIQUID SOLUTION OF ANY KIND. DO NOT
USE WATER JET TO CLEAN.

SEVERE DAMAGE OR ELECTRICAL HAZARD

COULD RESULT.

WARRANTY BECOMES VOID IF APPLIANCE IS FLOODED.

DO NOT use this warming cabinet in the

presence of a flammable anethestic mixture

(with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide).

THIS COULD RISK AN EXPLOSION!
