Key tips
- ·When no category-specific guidance fits, default to the manufacturer's own service manual and the general troubleshooting method in the Engineer's Guide.
- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Patient temperature not reaching / holding set point
HighSymptoms: Servo or manual mode does not achieve the target rectal / skin temperature, slow response.
Root cause: Circulating fluid low or fouled, a blanket / hose kink or disconnect, a heater / chiller (Peltier) fault, or a temperature-probe fault.
Low fluid / circulation alarm
MediumSymptoms: Fluid-level or flow alarm, pump runs dry, therapy pauses.
Root cause: Sterile water below level (needs replacing every 2 months), an air lock, or a pump fault.
Temperature probe fault
MediumSymptoms: Implausible temperature, probe-fault alarm, servo mode unavailable.
Root cause: Damaged rectal / skin probe or its connector.
Blanket / hose leak
MediumSymptoms: Fluid loss, damp blanket, frequent top-ups.
Root cause: Perforated blanket or worn quick-connect couplings.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Follow the manufacturer's PM schedule
- ·Perform incoming and annual electrical safety testing per facility biomedical program
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Not reaching / holding set point
- Confirm the fluid is at level and within its 2-month replacement window.
- Check the blanket and hoses for kinks or disconnects and purge air.
- Confirm the pump circulates fluid.
- Swap in a known-good temperature probe.
- If heating / cooling is weak with good flow and probes, refer for Peltier / control service and annual calibration.
Symptom: Low fluid / flow alarm
- Top up with sterile water to the fill line.
- Purge air from the circuit.
- Confirm the pump runs and produces flow.
- Perform the Chlorine Dioxide cleanse if the fluid is overdue.
- Verify circulation and clear the alarm.
