The low temperature alarm is activated when the average temperature from the three zones fall below 36.5 °C. The audio low temperature alarm is deactivated during the first 60 seconds after switching on. The high temperature alarm is activated when the temperature of one of the six heating plates exceeds 43.0 °C. In this event visual and audio alarm signals are given and the heating plates in all the zones are switched off. To reset the device or switch off the alarm, the device must first be disconnected from the power supply. Attention: The temperature alarm can also be triggered by external factors, e.g. exposure to sunlight. To reset the alarm, the mains plug must be pulled out. All alarms are alarms of “Low priority” according to EN 60601-1-8. The alarm system does not have to be verified. The alarm limits cannot be adjusted. The risk management process has found that a shutdown of the alarms is not meaningful, because it is desirable that the error (e. g. high temperature) is detected. Resetting of the alarm is only possible through disconnection of the device from mains. The operator station is in front of the device.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION Important: Before cleaning or disinfecting, the device must always be disconnected from the mains power supply by pulling the plug.
The device may only be cleaned using a soft cloth with water-soluble, nonaggressive cleaning agent or a special cleaning agent for plastics. For the purposes of disinfection, only ready-made alcohol-based spray disinfectants (e.g. Meliseptol Foam pure, BRAUN) must be used and the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed. Do not disinfect the device with steam (i.e. in autoclaves), hot air or thermochemical cleaning solutions.
6
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
The periodic technical safety inspections (according to the local standards in force - e.g. EN 62353) on the protherm II must be carried out at least every 12 months, by persons authorized to carry out such inspections based on their training, knowledge and practical experience. The results of the periodic inspection must be documented, along with the date, the inspecting agency and the device number. During the measurements, the heating device may not be exposed to sunlight, draughts or other conditions which could affect the measurement. Important: If a malfunction is discovered during the periodic inspection, suitable warning signs should be attached to the device to ensure that it is not used before the required service and repair work has been carried out. CHECKING THE WARM-UP PERIOD This is the time taken by the protherm II to heat up to 38.5 °C from room temperature. If this time is much more than one minute, there is a malfunction. CHECKING THE CONTROL TEMPERATURE The control temperature is checked on the lower third of the rear heating plates, about 7 cm from the right-hand edge of the device. The sensor of a suitable contact thermometer (tolerance ± 0.15 °C) is fixed to this place e.g. using adhesive tape. 12
The check is performed with the device closed and at a temperature setting of 38.5 °C. The measured value is read after it has stabilized. The difference must not exceed ± 0.5 °C. This check is carried out on each of the three heating areas. If there is a difference of greater than ± 0.5 °C from the control temperature, there is a malfunction. CHECKING THE LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM Preheat the device to 38.5 °C, then disconnect the mains plug. Hold down the controls and and reconnect the mains plug. Push the switch. The device is now in an operational state where all the alarms are active, but the heating is switched off. The protherm II now slowly cools down. When the temperature drops below the 36.5 °C threshold, the low temperature alarm should be active. For reasons of safety, short beeping sounds are given at intervals of a second in this operational mode. There is a malfunction if the low temperature alarm is not triggered. CHECKING THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM Preheat the device to 41 °C and wait for the temperature to stabilize, then disconnect the mains plug. Hold down the controls and and reconnect the mains plug. Push the switch. The device now heats up to a target temperature of 43.5 °C. Observe the temperature indicator carefully. The high temperature alarm should be triggered at a temperature of 43.0 °C. For reasons of safety, short beeping sounds are given at intervals of a second in this operational mode. There is a malfunction if the high temperature alarm is not triggered.
VISUAL CHECK OF GENERAL CONDITION The device should be checked for mechanical damage (general condition) and for the completeness of the stickers, particularly the device label on the reverse. If there is mechanical damage to the device which could cause risk of injury or impair its functionality, this constitutes a malfunction. ELECTRICAL SAFETY All relevant electrical safety data should be checked, particularly the earth conductor resistance and leakage current. If a measured value is outside of the specified tolerance, there is a malfunction.
