j. Plug the radiant warmer temperature servo probe

into the radiant warmer.

k. Place the tip of the radiant warmer servo probe by

the side of the skin probe.

l. Apply Tempheart shields over the skin and radiant

warmer servo probes.

m. Connect optional temperature sensors, such as esophageal, nasopharyngeal, or tympanic sensors, to the TSM.

n. After confirming that each task is complete, touch next.

8. Enter Cap temperature, for the setup wizard displays

(see Table 45.1).

a. Cap temperature might have to be set higher,

depending on infant’s general condition (e.g.,

administration of drugs such as anticonvulsants, cardiac impairment requiring inotropes) to avoid overshooting of core temperature.

b. Touch ▲ to increase or ▼ to decrease the water

temperature. Each touch will increase or decrease

the desired cap water temperature by 0.1°C.

c. When the desired cap water temperature displays,

touch next.

9. Make the water connections, for the setup wizard displays.

a. Installing main hose support (Figs. 45.3 and 45.4)

(1) Place the main hose support on the wall of the

warmer bed, with the black inner foam contacting the wall.

(2) Rotate the knob clockwise to tighten the support.

(3) Position the main hose support so that there

is an easy access to the back of the cooling

unit.

b. Placing Cap tube support (Fig. 45.4): Slide the cap

tube support as far under the mattress as possible.

c. Filling the cooling unit with sterile water (Fig. 45.3)

(1) Spike a new 1-L sterile water bag with fill tube.

(2) Hang the bag on the back of the cooling unit.

(3) Connect the spiked fill tube to the FILL connector.

(4) Clear any kinks in the tube.

d. Making main hose connections (Figs. 45.3 and 45.4)

(1) Slide the dovetail of the main hose into the

dovetail slot on the back of the cooling unit.

(2) Connect the main hose to the cooling unit—red

to In, blue to Out.

(3) Slide the dovetail of the distal end of the main

hose into the dovetail slot of the main hose

support.

e. Making Cap connections

(1) Select the appropriate cap size based on weight

and head circumference (Table 45.2).

(2) Slide the cap connector tubes fully onto the

water cap flanges; red to red, blue to blue (Fig.

45.5A).
