Chapter 1: Safety Precautions
CHAPTER 1: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Definitions WARNING!!! CAUTION!
Indicates a condition that may endanger the patient or the system operator Indicates a condition that may damage the equipment
NOTE: Indicates ways in which the system’s operation can be made more efficient.
Intended Use CritiCool® is a thermal regulating system, indicated for monitoring and controlling patient temperature.
Contraindications CritiCool® should not be used on patients with open wounds.
Warnings 1.
The physician must be notified if the patient's temperature does not respond properly, does not reach the prescribed temperature, or if there is any change in the prescribed temperature range. Failure to inform the physician may result in injury to the patient.
2.
The misuse of the temperature regulation equipment can be potentially harmful to the patient.
3.
Use only sterile water or 0.22 μm filtered water. Sterile water is recommended.
4.
Do not plug wet probes into the sockets of the CritiCool® device.
5.
The user should verify that no fluids are present at the skin/wrap interface during the procedure. Failure to do so can cause lesions on the patient's skin.
6.
Following the procedure, a pattern resembling the wrap may appear for a short period of time on the patient's skin.
7.
Pressure sores may appear or develop when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and external surface. The use of the CritiCool® system does not prevent this from happening.
DDT-136-000 Rev E
Belmont Medical Technologies
Page 11 of 121
Chapter 1: Safety Precautions 8.
Routine care should be taken during long thermoregulation procedures to prevent pressure sores.
9.
Do not lift or move the patient by means of the wrap. This may cause tearing and water leakage.
10. Prevent any thermal isolation, such as a pillow or other items, between the Wrap and the patient's body. 11. Do not apply heating/cooling to lower extremities during aortic cross clamping. Thermal injury may occur if heating/cooling is applied to ischemic limbs. 12. Wraps cannot be placed over transdermal patches. 13. Wraps should not come in contact with open wounds. 14. CureWrap® should not be in direct contact with open, widespread skin lesions such as burns or dermatitis. 15. Caution should be taken when using CureWrap® with patients that have underlying skin conditions. 16. Do not touch the ribbon cable behind the display and the patient simultaneously. 17. Patients thermoregulated with CritiCool® should be closely monitored at all times.
Precautions 1.
Follow the warning notes listed in the various sections of this manual.
2.
Only trained personnel, familiar with all system operating procedures and certified only by Belmont Medical Technologies or authorized agents of Belmont Medical Technologies are allowed to use the CritiCool® system.
3.
If moisture or leaks are discovered in the connecting hose and/or Wrap, turn off the CritiCool® device, disconnect the power cable from its power source, and correct the problem before proceeding.
4.
If the system sounds an alarm and/or presents a display other than the standard Belmont Medical Technologies display, the operator should proceed according to the display message and/or the troubleshooting instructions ( see “Troubleshooting Guide”).
5.
Avoid folds in the Wrap-these may obstruct water flow.
6.
Do not block the CritiCool® system ventilation grilles. Air must be able to flow freely in and out in order to keep the system cool.
7.
Do not use de-ionized water or water created through reverse osmosis because it may promote corrosion of the metal components of the system.
8.
When X-ray imaging is performed on a patient wearing a wrap, shadows from the wrap may appear on the X-ray film. Connecting water hoses should not be connected to the patient during imaging as they contain metal.

Page 12 of 121
Chapter 1: Safety Precautions 9.
Avoid inserting any sharp object between the patient and the Wrap.
10. Read all manufacturers’ instructions associated with the temperature probes or temperature probe adapters supplied by Belmont Medical Technologies. 11. Accessories from one system should not be moved or switched out with those from another system to avoid cross-contamination.
EMC Safety For safe use of the CritiCool®, it is required to keep the CritiCool® at a safe distance from systems emitting radio frequency (RF) energy. Refer to Appendix B for recommended separation distances between the CritiCool® and RF source. CAUTION! Power interruptions shorter than 10 minutes return the machine to the mode that was operating before the interruption with a 3-beep alarm. IMPORTANT!
Make sure to read the messages to ensure correct reactivation of the machine.
Improper Use Improper use of the CritiCool® system can lead to skin lesions, electrical hazards, and severe changes in body temperature. CAUTION!

Chapter 2: System Description
CHAPTER 2: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION General Description A growing number of cases require a solution for controlling patient temperature in various hospital settings. Therapeutic hypothermia, Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) or simply controlling normothermia is beneficial and sometimes vital. The CritiCool® system controls and maintains temperature in an effective and precise manner. The desired temperature is preset by the physician with a possible range of target temperatures from Hypothermia to Normothermia. The system is composed of two elements, the CritiCool® device, and the CureWrap®. The CritiCool® device functions as a control unit and a cooling/heating pump, which circulates water. The control unit constantly monitors the patient’s core temperature through specific probes and using its onboard body temperature control algorithm at 133 millisecond intervals, delivers the optimum water temperature to reach the desired set point temperature. The cooling/heating pump brings the water to the required temperature and the pump circulates it through the specially designed flexible and single piece CureWrap®. The CureWrap® is designed to be in close contact with a large area of the body, thus allowing optimization of energy transfer. WARNING!!!
DDT-136-000 Rev E
The Belmont Medical Technologies wrap is proprietary to Belmont Medical Technologies and this is the only wrap authorized to be used with the CritiCool® system. Use of any other wrap with the system may harm the patient.

Chapter 2: System Description
CritiCool® System The CritiCool® system consists of the following elements:
• • •
CritiCool® device CureWrap® Accessories
CritiCool® Device The CritiCool® device has a microprocessor that controls the water temperature flowing into the wrap worn by the patient. The water temperature is controlled and maintained to the desired set point by measuring the actual patient temperature (core and surface) and adjusting the temperature of the wrap accordingly. Timed pauses of flow during clinical operation regulate the water pressure and water flow in CureWrap. During the initial phase of regulation, the flow cycle is 12 minutes ON (water flows through the wrap) and 1 minute OFF (water recirculates within CritiCool®; no flow through the wrap) in both TTM and Normothermia modes. In a steady state (when the core temperature is within the set point range), the cycle is 12 minutes ON and 12 minutes OFF. If the difference between the patient’s core temperature and the set point temperature exceeds 0.3°C at any time during a timed pause, water will return to the wrap to adjust the patient’s temperature. The CritiCool® device is equipped with a handle for easy transport.
