Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey , should be less than the compliance level in each

frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcasts and TV broadcasts cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Fluidotherapy – Dry Heat Therapy Unit is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Fluidotherapy – Dry Heat Therapy Unit should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Fluidotherapy-Dry-Dry-Dry – Dry Heat Therapy Unit.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

OPERATION

PATIENT PREPARATION

DANGER

  • Clean the patient treatment area thoroughly with an antimicrobial soap and clean water as per industry, facility, regulatory standards, and universal skin washing procedures.
  • Following the skin washing procedure, apply a hospital grade antiseptic skin cleanser, according to the cleanser manufacturer’s recommended instructions for use.
  • Reference the maintenance schedule and make certain the preventive maintenance has been performed prior to starting the unit.

STARTING TREATMENT

STARTING
Make certain all control panel settings have been made, unit is preheated, and patient is in proper position with sleeve(s) secure prior to starting the treatment. Refer to pages 15 – 17 for setup of the unit.
Press “START” button to begin treatment.

STOPPING TREATMENT

STOPPING
Treatment will automatically stop when the treatment time reaches zero. Should it be desired to stop treatment before the timer reaches zero, push the “STOP” button.
NOTE:
Should the treatment be stopped before the timer reaches zero, it will be necessary to re-set the “TREATMENT TIME” in order to complete the prescribed treatment.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

DAILY MAINTENANCE

WARNING

  • 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.

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)

The sleeve in these photos has been modified (cut away) for clarity.
Remove the top sleeves to gain access to the inside of the unit. Refer.
Pull the medium back and away from the arm ports.

NOTE
It is extremely important to move the medium away from the ports to prevent the medium entering the space between the inner and outer walls of the unit when the sleeves are removed and replaced.

  • Dust away all Cellex medium from inside the sleeve.

  • Pull the retainer ring from the sleeve and lay aside for re-installation.

  • Pull the sleeve away from the sleeve extrusion in the inner housing of the unit.
    NOTE:

  • There is a ring folded into the sleeve that fits over the sleeve extrusion on the inside of the unit.

DANGER

  • Cellex medium entering the heat chamber of the unit can cause severe injury to patients as well as smoke damage to the facility and the Fluidotherapy unit.

  • Remove the ring from the folded end of the sleeve.

  • Launder sleeves as described on page 26.

  • Vacuum out any of the Cellex medium that may have entered the cavity between the inner and outer walls of the unit.

WARNING

Removal of all Cellex medium that has entered the cavity is essential to maintain proper and safe operation of the unit. If the medium reaches the heating chamber of the unit, immediately call a certified technician for removal of any suspected medium in the heat chamber. Do not place the unit into service if medium is suspected to be in the heat chamber.

INSTALLING 115 Model SLEEVE
Fold the elastic end of the sleeve over the ring.
Place sleeve through port hole. Place the ring/sleeve assembly over the sleeve extrusion on the inside of the unit.
NOTE:
Position the sleeve seam toward the top of the unit and push the ring/sleeve assembly completely onto the sleeve extrusion.
Install the inner sleeve retainer ring making certain the ring split will be toward the top of the unit.
Push the retainer ring over the ring/sleeve assembly until it is completely seated.
NOTE:
The retainer ring should fit tightly over the sleeve. If necessary, use a pair of pliers to tighten the ring in the area where it slides over the sleeve.

From the outside of the unit, reach through the sleeve and install the outer sleeve retaining ring.
NOTE:
Start installation of the outer ring at the top of the unit. As the ring is being seated, pull the area of the sleeve tight. This will aid in the prevention of excessive medium spillage and patient comfort.
