Warnings & Precautions Warnings
Do not modify the TECOTHERM NEO in any way.
Do not open the device! Risk of electrical shock.
Repair and maintenance are restricted to authorized personnel only!
The TECOTHERM NEO device must be plugged to the mains using shockproof sockets. Mains voltage must be 100-130V or 200-240V with 50-60 Hz. Use only cord supplied with the device or a medical grade approved equivalent cord not longer than 2.5 m.
Caution: During operation and treatment: The operator must not simultaneously touch the patient and metallic device parts (plug/connector sockets, fuse contacts, grounded connected parts at the device rear).
Both temperature probe sockets on the front of the device and the USB socket on the rear are marked with ESD warning symbols. They are sensitive against discharge of static electricity, their electrical contacts should not be touched with the fingers or tooling. When connecting probes or USB stick to their sockets the following precautionary procedure is required: Before plugging, touch the fan protective grid at the rear with your other hand.
For a reliable and safe operation use only original components, applied parts and spare parts supplied or recommended by Inspiration Healthcare Limited or the Authorized Representative. Only Sterile Water should be used as circulating fluid.
Use only temperature probes in accordance with IfU and with the technical specification of the manufacturer. Applying different probes may lead to incorrect and wrong temperature data. This is likely to put patients at significant risk! Ensure that probes are properly connected to the TECOTHERM NEO socket marked "R" (for Body Core Temperature) and “S” (for Surface Temperature). Ensure that Rectal and Skin Temperature Probes are correctly placed in/on the patient and are properly secured. Do not use TECOTHERM NEO with, or in presence of flammable agents.

5. Safety & Reliability Warning: Substitution of original parts or components of the TECOTHERM NEO system by parts or components which are not licensed by Inspiration Healthcare Limited or the Authorized Representative is likely to put the system and the patient at risk! Precautions Notes: Therapeutic Induced Total Body cooling is a systemic treatment method. Select target temperatures cautiously. Re- warming: Select low re-warming rates to smoothly reach normal BCT of 37°C. Patient body mass may severely influence re-warming. The larger the mass, the slower the re-warming. Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Observe the recommended separation distances in the EMC tables. The TECOTHERM NEO device should be subject to regular maintenance and service. Refill sterile water regularly every 2 months, see section 8.5. Note: Circulation may stop, fluid flow stops. In such cases mattresses may cool patient down slowly. During treatment, (re- warming phase) patient may suffer from extraction of body heat back into the mattress. This must be addressed without delay. The operator or the user should not apply other cleaning, disinfecting and decontamination procedures than those recommended by the manufacturer. If in doubt contact your local representative. Precaution Notes for Placement Location The TECOTHERM NEO device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. The unit must be placed in such a way that it could be easily disconnected from mains power. Removing the mains plug must always be possible. The unit must be placed horizontally onto a support. The system is fan cooled. Sufficient space must be allocated so that a free flow of air from all sides can reach the bottom of the device when it is in operation. Device should be located so that there is a distance of at least 15cm between rear face and a wall or another limiting surface to ensure free outflow of the cooling air. Do not place the device into small cabinet or onto small scale boards. Do not cover the device! The unit should be placed to avoid blowing air towards the patient. The unit should be placed so that visual alarms are clearly seen and acoustic alarms are clearly audible. Do not place mattresses and hoses onto hot or warm surfaces during operation. Do not operate the device near intensive heat sources.
Page 8 of 60
Attention: Leave enough space around the TECOTHERM NEO so as not to obstruct passage of personnel. Ensure that hoses, cable cord, temperature probes etc. do not form obstacles. Ensure that placement of TECOTHERM NEO does not create hazards for hands and fingers, or any other injuries. Check mattress for visible damage. Note: Place mattress onto a 10-20 mm thick foam material that has good thermal insulation during operation. Using an incubator When using an incubator to perform treatment: Ensure there is enough space to properly place mattress. Otherwise kinking of tubing may occur. Place the hoses with as few bends as possible. Fasten the hoses in such a way to avoid kinking of the tubing near the mattress. Note: Place mattress onto a 10-20 mm thick foam material that has good thermal insulation during operation. Note: Do not put mattress directly onto compact silicon inlays used in incubators. Attention: Ensure that incubator heaters are shut off! Ensure that there is no forced air circulation. It may cool down the patient in a re-warming phase of the treatment. Indications for hazardous substances TECOTHERM NEO does not contain parts or substances originating from derivatives of blood or human/animal tissues. TECOTHERM NEO does not contain parts made of Latex or its derivatives. TECOTHERM NEO Applied Parts do not contain phthalates. Thermalizing Fluid is sterile water. Skin contact with sterile water is harmless. Ambient Conditions To ensure proper operation in normal use, pay attention to the following conditions Protection The device should be protected from dampness and wetness Do not operate device in rooms where flammable mixtures of anesthesia gases with oxygen, N2O or air may evolve. To have full cooling power, ambient temperature should not exceed 27°C. Otherwise the TECOTHERM NEO system may not achieve the lowest possible set temperature. Relative Humidity during treatment should be within a range of 30% - 80%. Ensure that during treatment/operation, no installations or devices are operating or are intended to operate next to TECOTHERM NEO which produce ultraviolet radiation, intense infrared radiation, strong electromagnetic radiation or mechanical shocks/vibrations.

TECOTHERM NEO Operating Function
6.1 Fallback mode If BCT measurements occur outside the range of acceptance, TECOTHERM NEO will stop operating as a physiologic closed-loop circuit and instead switch into fallback mode. Different criteria apply during treatment phases when the patient’s temperature is to be gradually adjusted at a pre-determined speed. It is known that in this case the mattress temperature will gradually change, at the same speed, albeit with a certain delay with regard to the pre-determined Body Core Temperature. In practice, however, the mattress temperature will not always need to be exactly 1° above the BCT and depending on the patient it may be even higher, as well as lower, than the BCT. User-Defined Treatment Profiles Within “Servo Control Complete Treatment Mode“ the user can set and store up to 9 (user-defined) Treatment Profiles. When changes are made to the default temperatures or times before the start of treatment, the user is given an option to save this new settings as a treatment profile. If selecting this option, the new settings will get the next free treatment profile number (1 to 9) for identification. If the starting point for the changes was a previously generated treatment profile, it can be redefined instead of creating another new treatment profile. After a treatment profile has been saved, there is a further option to store this profile as a future default. Once the user has created at least one treatment profile, when selecting the “Servo Control Complete Treatment Mode” in addition to the displayed temperatures and times corresponding to the profile declared as standard, the option to choose another profile will be offered. The process of creating a treatment profile can be canceled at any time. In any case, the treatment will always be performed using the settings that are shown on the display at the time of pressing the "Start" button. During treatment, temperature and time settings can be changed if necessary by pushing the "Options" button. However, these changes cannot be saved in profiles during the course of treatment.
