• Always use Stryker accessories. Only IEC 60601-1 equipment shall be hooked to the patient temperature ports. Failure
to comply with these instructions may invalidate any or all warranties and may negatively affect the products EMC
performance. This also protects the product from cardiac defibrillation.
• Avoid reduction in water flow. Do not connect two or more thermal transfer devices in a series on a single port.
• When you operate the product near ambient temperature limitations of 15.0° C (59.0° F) or 32.0° C (89.6° F), you may
experience a reduction in product performance.
• Always turn or re-position the patient over the duration of therapy, if possible, to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.
Follow your hospital protocol.
• Always check the integrity of the patients skin and temperature according to hospital protocol when using the A A l l t t r r i i x x
system.
• When using the temperature controlled Automatic therapy mode for warming (min, med, or custom), switching to other
modes, changing the target patient temperature, or changing the therapy selection may impact the overall benefit of
therapy.

• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described in this
manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Shock Hazard - Improper handling of the power cord may damage the power cord and cause potential shock hazards. If
damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the temperature management system from service to
avoid the risk of serious injury or death. Contact the appropriate maintenance personnel.
• Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment like
A A l l t t r r i i x x . Install and place A A l l t t r r i i x x into service according to the EMC information located in the EMC section of this manual.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the function of A A l l t t r r i i x x .
• Shock Hazard. If the internal electrical components are exposed, because the side panel or cover are compromised,
remove the product from use.
• Always make sure that the product reaches room temperature before you setup or operate the product.
• Before first use, disinfect the internal water circuit.
• Do not use A A l l t t r r i i x x located near or stacked with other medical equipment. If it is necessary to locate A A l l t t r r i i x x near other
medical equipment, make sure it operates as intended.
• Portable RF communications equipment, including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas, should
be used no closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to any part of A A l l t t r r i i x x system, including cables specified by the manufacturer.
• Always apply the wheel locks to prevent unintended movement.
• Do not use high frequency surgical instruments or endocardial catheters while the A A l l t t r r i i x x system is in use. This is to
avoid the risk of electrical shock, burns, or electromagnetic interference.
• Avoid the use of materials of good thermal conductivity, such as water, gel, or similar substances, with the A A l l t t r r i i x x system
not powered on. This can decrease the temperature of the body of a patient.
• Do not apply thermal transfer devices to patients with ischemic limbs. This may result in harm to the patient.
• Do not use this product if the patient has a transdermal medication (patch) as this can result in increased drug delivery.
• Do not use three or more adult Mul-T-Blanket products at the same time to avoid the risk of water overflow when you
power off the controller.
• Always pre-fill the thermal transfer devices with sterile distilled water before you apply it to the patients. This is to reduce
the risk of pressure ulcers.
• Always clamp the hoses when disconnecting the thermal transfer devices.
• Electric shock. This equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
• Always plug this product directly into a properly grounded hospital-grade or medical-grade wall outlet to achieve
grounding reliability.
• Explosion risk. This product is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with
oxygen or nitrous oxide other than nasal or mask type.
