Figure 1-T/Pump Heat Therapy System

INTRODUCTION

Heat therapy is effective in the dilation of blood vessels, thereby increasing the blood flow to the heated area. Heat therapy has a variety of uses, the most common being treatment of aches and pains in joints and muscles. The GAYMAR T/Pump® Heat Therapy System provides a means of applying heat therapy by supplying temperature-controlled water through a connector hose to a Gaymar T/Pad®. The hose is terminated in easy-to-use Clik-Tite® or Colder-style connectors. The T/Pad provides the interface for delivering the heat therapy. The unique button design allows water to flow and provides trouble-free operation when the pad is folded. This reduces the number of pads your facility must keep in inventory. The pads are applied to the part of the body requiring heat therapy, and the circulating water maintains the pad at the set point temperature. The temperature set point is key-operated to prevent tampering. The T/Pads can be interconnected (on model TP500 only) to provide therapy to more than one body site at a time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS P/N 10569-000 12/98

OPERATOR'S MANUAL TP500/TP500C T/PUMP

T/Pumps are supplied with one of two types of hose connectors: TP500 T/Pumps have Clik-Tite® connectors; TP500C T/Pumps have Colder-style connectors.

CLIK-TITE® CONNECTORS (on TP500):

1.

Insert male fittings into female fittings with a twisting motion (figs. 3A and 3B).

2.

When fittings are fully inserted, snap locking ring into place (figs. 3C and 3D).

3.

To disconnect, simply reverse the procedure.

www.gaymar.com

To attach Clik-Tite connectors from hose to pad:

NOTE: Refer to figure 1 (p. 2) and item 9 (p. 6) when connecting multiple pads. Figure 3-Clik-Tite® Connectors

COLDER-STYLE CONNECTORS (on TP500C): 1.

2.

To attach Colder-style connectors to a pad, push the male coupling onto the female coupling. When you hear an audible “click," the connectors are joined (fig. 4A). To open or close the hose pinch clamps: • •

3.

4A

Open the clamp by pushing the serrated end (fig. 4B).

4B

4C

Close the clamp by pressing the clamp together (fig. 4C).

To disconnect Colder-style connectors, press down on the thumb tab of the female coupling. The couplings will partially disconnect. Pull the male coupling out fully to disconnect (fig. 4D).

1. Before filling the pump, always attach a pad to the connector hose or close the clamps on the connector hose ends (see figs. 3 and 4, p. 5). Then, unkink pad and hose. Open hose clamps. 2. Open the fill cap on top of the pump. Fill the pump with room temperature (i.e., not hot) distilled water to the operating level indicated on the side of the pump. NOTE: Using tap water will decrease the life of the pump. 3. Insert temperature setting key. Set temperature as prescribed by the physician. Remove key to prevent tampering. 4. Plug T/Pump into a properly grounded outlet. 5. Turn on the power switch. The selected water temperature will be reached in approximately 20 minutes. 6. If the water level drops below the operating level, add water. Do not overfill. Overfilling can result in reduced pump motor life. 7. Apply T/Pad to the patient. Follow T/Pad instructions. 8. For specified performance, keep the pump at or above the level of the pad. 9. If the pump is placed below the pad(s), water will drain into the pump when it is shut off. If the pump has been overfilled or if multiple pads are connected, excess water can leak out onto the floor or cause reduced motor life.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

1. Turn off pump before disconnecting pad. Close all hose clamps. To prevent water spillage, always disconnect pad from pump with connectors raised above the level of the pad and pump. 2. Connect the pump and T/Pad Clik-Tite connectors together, where applicable.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Storage (Short term)

Disconnect pad. Connect ends of the connector hoses together, where applicable. Open hose clamps. Leave water in the reservoir. To prevent hose kinks, coil the hose rather than folding it. Fasten the hose and cord with strap.

Storage (Long term)

Connect pad. Open hose clamps. Add 1/4 ounce AirKem A-33, GAYMAR MTA33 germicidal, or equivalent to water already in reservoir. Run for two (2) minutes. Drain pump. Close hose clamps. Disconnect pad. To prevent hose kinks, coil the hose rather than folding it. Fasten the hose and cord with strap and store pump.

Draining

Disconnect the T/Pump from AC power. Disconnect the pad or hoses from one another, keeping hoses at or above the level of the T/Pump. Remove the fill cap and invert the T/Pump over a sink. When all fluid has drained from the hoses and reservoir, replace the fill cap and connect the hoses together, where applicable.

Cleaning

Clean outer surfaces of the T/Pump with: • a damp cloth and soapy water, • Fantastik spray cleaner, or • a mild abrasive such as Soft Scrub cleanser without bleach. To clean the fluid system, prepare a germicidal solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use AirKem A-33 or equivalent, available from Ecolabs, Inc., 370 Wabasha, St. Paul, MN 35102 (phone: 1 800 247-5362), or from GAYMAR, product catalog MTA33. Drain the pump. Fill the reservoir to the operating level indicated on the side of the pump. Set the temperature indicator to its lowest setting (fully counterclockwise), start the T/Pump, and circulate the solution for one hour. Drain the solution and refill the pump with distilled water. Using distilled water will not promote algae growth or mineral buildup. Change the distilled water monthly or more often depending upon use.

Pads / Accessories

For best results use only GAYMAR T/Pads® or Mul•T•Pads®. The unique button design allows water to flow and provides trouble free operation when the pad is folded. This reduces the number of different sizes of pads your facility must keep in inventory. The T/Pads can be interconnected (on model TP500 only) to provide therapy to more than one body site at a time (see fig. 1, p. 2). For a brochure listing the various pads, contact the GAYMAR Customer Service Department (see next page for telephone numbers). An optional bed bracket (model TP20A) is available to mount the T/Pump on the footboard of a bed.
