INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Do not start the unit if the cable or plug is damaged, or if there are obvious, visible defects to the unit.
FILLING THE SPLINT BATH
TAP WATER IS REQUIRED FOR THE UNIT TO RUN CORRECTLY. FOLLOW THESE PROPORTIONS IF YOU ARE IN A HARD-WATER ENVIRONMENT AND REQUIRE DISTILLED WATER.

1 Cup Tap Water

Initial Set Up

1. Unpack the splint bath and place on a level surface that is capable of bearing the bath and water load. Be sure there is adequate space between the vent and wall for ventilation. Make sure that all packaging materials are cleared from the reservoir.
2. Plug the supplied power cord (do not use any other power cord other than supplied by manufacturer) into the back of the unit and a dedicated wall receptacle. (Protective Earthing – a dedicated electrical circuit is required).
3. Fill the reservoir with water just above the water sensor (approximately 2”/5cm).
4. Turn unit on – flip the switch at the back of the unit to turn the unit “on”. At initial powering up of the bath, the start up wizard will display on the LCD screen to prompt user to set time, day of the week, and temperature mode.
5. Unit must be primed before operation (SMART model). Squeeze the supplied priming bulb (outside of the water) until it is fully deflated and hold. Then insert it into the priming port located at in the water tub. Release the bulb to pull water from the port until it is fully inflated then remove it from the port. You should see the water start to bubble at the port. If this doesn’t occur, repeat up to 3 times. Once the water bubbles , the unit is primed. This process removes any trapped air in the tubes and allows the pump to engage.
6. Continue filling the tank to desired water level or to the bottom of the internal hinge line.

General Use:

• Once the unit is filled to desired water level, the power is on, the preset is fixed, and the set temperature has been reached, the unit is ready for the thermoplastic materials.
• Insert the splinting material into the reservoir, being careful not to splash hot water outside the tank.
• Press start (green button with arrow on home screen). At any time during a session, the timer can be paused and restarted from the beginning or from the time the unit was paused.
• To maintain an accurate water temperature, retain heat, and minimize evaporation, keep lid closed.
• Use caution when retrieving the material from the bath. Apply the material to the patient as per the splint manufacturer’s instruction.
• Maintain sufficient water level at all times. (approx 3”/7.62cm deep).
