Portable Warmer Operation
WARNING
S Read and understand all information in this manual before using the Thermaltek 300 ”Plus” Portable
Warmer.
S Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed health care professional.
S During warming therapy, the clinician is responsible for monitoring the patient’s condition. It is recom-
mended that the patient’s skin condition, body core temperature, and vital signs be monitored at a mini-
mum of 15 minute intervals. If monitoring does not occur, thermal injury may result, especially if the patient
has the following conditions:
a. Significant peripheral vascular disease (occlusive or diabetic).
b. Low cardiac output.
c. Totally immobilized/anesthetized.
d. Marginal cutaneous perfusion.
Do not use the High temperature setting (110_ F) if the patient has any of the conditions (a, b, c or d) listed
above.
Reduce air temperature or discontinue warming therapy when therapeutic goal is reached, vital sign instability occurs or if the patient’s skin condition is compromised in any way.
This warming system is not intended for use with other external warming devices.
S The Thermaltek ”Plus” Portable Warmer must only be used with a Thermaltek overlay. Use of any
other warming blanket may result in thermal injury.
S The Thermaltek overlay must only be used with the Thermaltek ”Plus” Portable Warmer. Using a Ther-
maltek overlay with any other warming unit may result in thermal injury.
S The temperature settings on the Thermaltek 300 ”Plus”:
High 110_ ± 5_ F (43_ ± 3_ C),
Medium 100_ ± 5_ F (38_ ± 3_ C),
Low 90_ ± 5_ F (32_ ± 3_ C),
are average temperatures at various points around the patient and under the overlay based on a specific
testing protocol. The actual temperature of the air at various points around the patient and under the overlay is determined by different factors including, but not limited to, ambient temperature and use of insulating blankets.
S The Thermaltek 300 ”Plus” Portable Warmer is equipped with an Automatic Temperature Step–Down
(ATS) feature (see page 9 for details) that automatically lowers the temperature from high to medium
after 20 minutes of continuous operation. A brief alarm sounds as the temperature changes. Manual resetting is required to select a new temperature. The ATS feature does not preclude the clinician from monitoring the patient’s skin condition throughout the usage of the warmer. The patient’s skin condition must
always be monitored at a minimum of 15 minute intervals to prevent patient injury.
S Inspect warmer for damage prior to use. If damage is present or warmer has been dropped, do not use
the warmer. Contact your Stryker Service representative.

WARNING
The 300 ”Plus” Portable Warmer is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard.
It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three–prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be
achieved only when a hospital grade receptacle is used. Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Inspect warmer for damage prior to use. If damage is present or warmer has been dropped, do not use the
warmer. Contact your Stryker Service representative.
DO NOT operate the warmer with the dust cap on or without fully extending the warmer hose.

AMBIENT light indicates room temperature air is being circulated. To circulate ambient air, press and
release the B key until the AMBIENT light comes on.
Press OFF/ST ANDBY to stop warmer operation. The heater and fan will stop and air will stop circulating.
The temperature values indicated on the control panel represent the average temperature of the air at
various points around the patient and under the overlay and are based on specific conditions and test
protocol (see page 9 for details). The values have been rounded to the nearest degree. The actual
temperature of the air around the patient is affected by the room temperature and the use of insulating
blankets.
