ASTOPAD® Instructions for Use
6 Product description
6 Product description 6.1 Introduction The ASTOPAD consists of a control unit and optionally one or two applied parts (warming blankets, pads, mattresses and OR table pads). The ASTOPAD may only be used in rooms designated for medical purposes. The relevant and applicable hygiene rules for the use of medical devices apply. The ASTOPAD is not intended for use in homecare, or veterinary medicine. The ASTOPAD can be used in surgical, intensive care or inpatient areas in which there is a risk of cooling for the patient, or where the patient requires external warming. All ASTOPAD applied parts may have direct skin contact (injured/uninjured skin) with the patient or may be operated with an intermediate layer between the part and the patient. WARNING Danger of overheating! For infants and small children between 35 and 90 cm in height, use only the applied parts ASTOPAD COV070 and ASTOPAD SOF7.
6.2 Technical description The ASTOPAD DUO310 is the control unit for the ASTOPAD and is equipped with a universal mounting clamp for attaching to standard medical equipment rails or an infusion stand. The ASTOPAD DUO310 control unit has two outputs (device sockets) A and B for connecting ASTOPAD applied parts. The desired Set-Temperature can be selected in the range of 32.0 °C - 39.0 °C in 0.5 °C increments for each connected applied part, independently of each other, on the control panel of the control unit. The control unit can also be used with only one of the output A or B. The selected Set-Temperature and the current temperature are displayed individually for each applied part in the control panel. With the battery option, the ASTOPAD DUO310 control unit can also be operated independent of the mains supply. When the battery is installed, it is possible to operate the device independently to the mains for approx. 2 hours. With the exception of the ASTOPAD COV155 and COV235 heating blankets, which were exclusively designed as blankets for the upper body, the applied parts of the ASTOPAD COV can be used as blankets for warming the patient from above, or as under-blankets for warming the patient from below.

ASTOPAD® Instructions for Use
6 Product description
ASTOPAD SOF/ROE, the heated, pressure relieving operating table pad provides a unique combination of hypothermia and decubitus prophylaxis. The key component of the ASTOPAD SOF is a visco-elastic foam, combined with a dynamic foam base for the best possible decubitus prophylaxis on the operating table. ASTOPAD ROE, the special X-ray permeable applied part is based on an optionally 40 mm or 80 mm thick visco-elastic foam with a maximum sensor-free zone. Together with the pressure-relieving ASTOGEL gel pad, the ASTOPAD COV applied part plays an important role in the prevention of hypothermia and for pressure relief in surgical scenarios. The ASTOPAD COV must be laid over the ASTOGEL gel pad in order prevent cooling of the patient due to a cold gel pad. Heat is transferred to the patient immediately after the heating has been started. A long warm-up time for the ASTOGEL gel pad is not needed. However, it should be noted that only a combination of the ASTOPAD COV and ASTOGEL is permitted. The ASTOPAD DUO310 control unit does not control and indicate the actual temperature of the patient, but rather only the actual temperature of the applied part. Temperature regulation of the individual applied parts is performed with several integrated sensors. Safety of ASTOPAD is guaranteed by the following measures per output: • Several temperature sensors for each applied part • Double independent sensor monitoring • Heater monitoring • Time shut-off • Visual and acoustic alarm signals • Overheating and low-temperature alarm if the contact surface temperature deviates from the temperature controller setting
