2.1

THEORY OF OPERATION

Introduction

The Calibration and Test Unit (CTU) is an instrument that is used to calibrate and verify operation of

the ARCTIC SUN® Temperature Management System Model 2000 Control Module. It is a hand sized

unit that connects directly to the fluid delivery line port, taking the place of the Model 2000 fluid

delivery lines and pads. The CTU can be used to semi-automatically test and calibrate the Control

Module’s two patient temperature measurement inputs, the temperature out function, and the internal

water temperature measurement channels. It can also be used to automatically verify the Control

Module’s flow rate and inlet pressure measurements. Correct operation of the Model 2000’s primary

water over-temperature alarm can also be verified manually using this device.

2.2

Basic CTU Operation

The CTU is used as an external stimulus and measuring device by software embedded in the Control

Module. By testing the subsystems of the CTU in sequence, operation of the Control Module can be

verified and calibrated.

The CTU contains precision resistors that simulate several patient temperatures. After a warm-up

period, the simulated temperatures are first applied to the Warming System patient temperature

inputs to temporarily calibrate each channel. This calibration is temporary in the sense that it is used

to perform the balance of the testing. It is not saved by the Control Module until the operator accepts

it.

Once the patient temperature channel's accuracy has been temporarily established, the CTU’s

temperature probe is connected to the Control Module’s Patient Temperature 1 input. The Control

Module then circulates water through the CTU at various temperatures. The patient temperature

channel can then be used to check and calibrate the accuracy of the internal water temperature

sensors and circuits.

The fluid path in the CTU is designed to allow a specific flow, which was selected to provide this flow

rate at a given pressure. Since the Model 2000 controls the inlet pressure at a constant value, a

crosscheck of flow and pressure measurement accuracy can be obtained. The flow rate and inlet

pressure offset are checked, and the inlet pressure offset is zeroed during the initial warm-up period.

The CTU contains heaters that are used to slowly raise the system water temperature above its high

temperature limits in order to verify correct operation of the Control Module’s safety systems. The

test unit heaters are thermally and electrically protected, and are only powered while pressing the

Heater Power Switch.

2.3

Controls

A rotary switch (S1), two slide switches (S2 and S3), and a heater switch (S4) comprise the CTU

controls. The Output Select Switch, S1, is used to select the temperature simulator to be applied to

the patient temperature channel. Six switch positions represent specific temperatures as follows:

7

Page 8

 Position A is “open” or “no connection”

 Position B is approximately 10.8C

 Position C is approximately 25.5C

 Position D is approximately 34.5C

 Position E is approximately 40.0C

 Position F is a “shorted” connection.

The precise values of the simulators listed above are determined by a calibration process and are

listed on a calibration sticker on the CTU.

The slide switch, S2, is used as follows:

 Position A connects Patient Temperature Channel 1 to the rotary switch and Patient Temperature

Channel 2 to the Temperature Out Channel.

 Position B connects Patient Temperature Channel 1 to the CTU temperature sensor and Patient

Temperature Channel 2 to the rotary switch.

 Position C connects Patient Temperature Channel 1 to the Temperature Out Channel.

The slide switch, S3, is used as follows:

 Position A connects the internal thermistor to an “open” connection.

 Position B connects the internal thermistor to a parallel resistance, shifting the temperature up at

the low water temperature setting, allowing it to be read by the patient temperature circuit.

The heater power switch, S4, is a momentary, normally open switch that applies AC power to the two

250W heaters when pressed and held in the ON position.

2.4

Connections

A hydraulic connection and three electrical connections must be made to the control module so that

the unit will function correctly in conjunction with the control module’s software functions.



The hydraulic connection is a custom fitting which mates directly to the control module. The

seal must be tight with no leaks to ensure a proper test.



The three electrical connections are labeled ‘PT1’, ‘PT2’, and ‘TO’.

o

PT1 corresponds to the primary patient temperature receptacle on the control

module.

o

PT2 corresponds to the secondary patient temperature connector.

o

TO corresponds to the temperature out connector on the control module.



TO has a different keying scheme from PT1 and PT2, and therefore cannot be interchanged.

However, care must be taken when connecting PT1 and PT2 because they can be

interchanged. If this does occur, the control module will indicate an error on the user

interface display.



The electrical cables do not supply a voltage or current. They are passive connections with

the voltage or current being supplied by the control module.

2.5

Understanding the Test and Calibration Sequence

The Calibration and Test Unit and ARCTIC SUN® Temperature Management System Model 2000

Control Module work together to perform the tests and calibration in a semi-automated sequence.

This section gives a step by step description of how this is accomplished

2.5.1

Calibration Factor Longevity

In order to perform this process accurately, various parameters of the Control Module must first be

calibrated to be used in subsequent measurements. It should be noted that this calibration is

temporary and it applys only during the Test and Calibration Sequence. This data is saved only if the

operator accepts the calibration at the end of the sequence.

2.5.2

Screen Navigation

Screen navigation is achieved primarily through prompts and operator responses. Pressing the

Remote Display Enter Key will move the system through a defined test sequence. The Up and Down

Keys are also used for data entry and for scrolling through some menu selections. Other remaining

keys function normally, such as Automatic, Manual, Purge, Stop, and Cancel and do not change

function during this process. It should be noted, however, that the Control Module will abort the test

and calibration sequence and return to the User Diagnostic Mode screen if any of these keys are

pressed.

2.5.3

Initiation

Test and Calibration Mode is a sub-mode of User Diagnostic Mode. The test and calibration

sequence is started by scrolling to the UD4 Screen following the prompts. The Control Module will

enter Test and Calibration Mode only if all of the following are true:



Patient Temperature 1 is between 10°C and 12°C.



Patient Temperature 2 is less than 10°C.



The reservoir level is 4 or greater.

These unique conditions are required to ensure that the system is connected to the CTU, not a

patient. The operator has one minute to respond affirmatively or the Control Module returns to the

normal User Diagnostic Mode. If one of the criteria above is not met, the user is prompted to rectify it.

2.5.4

Pre-Warm and Flow Check

The system pre-warm and flow check begins when the Test and Calibration Mode is initiated. This

process starts with an automatic 10 minute pre-warm period (starting when the unit is powered on).

During this time, the unit runs in Manual Mode with a 28°C water target temperature and a countdown

timer displays how many pre-warm seconds remain. Additionally, the average flow rate and average

inlet pressure are displayed. Approximately 55 seconds after initiating pre-warm, a bypass mode flow

check is also performed.

For successful completion of pre-warm to occur, the following criteria must be met:



The bypass mode flow check flow rate must be greater than 3500ml/min. A timeout error is

immediately displayed if this condition is not met.



The average flow rate must be within ±600ml/min. of 2850ml/min.

9

Page 10



The inlet pressure average must be within 0.2psi of –7.0 psi.



The bypass valve must be closed.

Once these conditions have been met, the system performs a purge for approximately one minute to

prepare for checking the inlet pressure offset. Then once purging is complete, the system performs

an internal test of the patient temperature channels. If successful, it indicates completion of the prewarm / flow check and the final average flow is displayed along with a prompt to continue. If

successful completion of the pre-warm / flow check does not occur within 12 minutes of its initiation, a

time-out error is indicated. Also note that the pre-warm / flow check can be aborted by pressing the

Enter Key. It can be started again at any time during the test sequence.

At this point, operator assistance is needed to observe the flow result and to remove the CTU so that

the pressure sensor and circuit can be zeroed. The pressure offset is calculated after the user

responds and the pressure stabilizes within 0.01PSI. The pressure offset result is then displayed for

the user to observe. Note that if the offset is greater than ±0.5PSI, a message is displayed.

2.5.5

Patient Temperature Channel Checks

Operator assistance is needed to start the Patient Temperature 1 (PT1) checks. Four items of CTU

calibration data must be entered, A through D. The operator is then prompted to sequence the

system through measurement of a set of precision resistors that simulate a patient temperature

sensor at various temperatures. Any of the temperature checks can be aborted by pressing the Enter

Key, and then restarted at any time during the test. The first time the check is aborted the sequence

restarts at the beginning of the current check. The second time the check is aborted the sequence

restarts at the beginning of the check group. Each check is completed when the following criteria is

met:



The difference between patient temperature average and the respective CTU temperature

value is within 0.8 C.



The patient temperature is stable within 0.01 C.

If any check cannot meet the above criteria within 60 seconds, a message is displayed along with a

prompt to retry.

Temporary calibration parameters are calculated based on the data obtained from Check 1 (A) and

Check 4 (D). These parameters are then applied to the average values obtained for all four checks.

These values are then checked against the respective CTU values that had been entered. The

measured values must be within 0.14 C of the CTU values for successful completion. An error

message is displayed if the criteria is not met.

The process is identical for Patient Temperature 2 with the exception of the S2 position.

2.5.6

Temperature Out Check

The Temperature Out Check is very similar to the patient temperature checks in that the same four

sensor simulators are used. The operator is prompted to sequence the system through a PT1

measurement of each, while PT2 measures the Temperature Out. (Temperature Out is an “echo” of

Patient Temperature 1.) Obviously, this test requires precise measurement by the patient

temperature channels. Therefore, the patient temperature checks must first be successfully

10

Page 11

completed. If not, "N/A" is displayed at the Temperature Out Check summary screen to indicate that

it could not be completed.

Each check is completed when the following criteria is met:



The difference between the PT1 average and the respective CTU temperature value is within

0.8°C.



The Temperature Out (as measured by PT2) is stable within 0.01°C

If any check cannot meet the those criteria within 75 seconds, an error message displayed along with

a prompt to retry.

2.5.7

Water Temperature Check

The Water Temperature Check again requires that the operator enter calibration data from the CTU,

E through G. Once this is done, the system requires the user change the S3 position at the beginning

of the low temperature set point and then back after the low temperature setpoint has completed.

The system runs in Manual Mode for the duration of the test. As the system runs, the water

temperature is controlled at various setpoints while PT1 measures the temperature of the water

flowing through the CTU. This reference temperature is then used to check the system’s internal

water temperature sensors. Check 2 and Check 4 also serve as heating and cooling capacity tests.

Four segments of up to 15 minutes each comprise the Water Temperature Check. Check 1 takes

place at approximately 6°C, Check 2 at approximately 28°C, Check 3 at approximately 40.5°C, and

Check 4 at approximately 38°C. During this process, Patient Temperature 1, Outlet Water

Temperature 1 (T1), Outlet Water Temperature 2(T2), Inlet Water Temperature (T3), Chiller

Temperature (T4), the inlet pressure, and the flow are continuously averaged monitored. Each check

point requires the following to complete successfully:



The average T2 must be within 2.0°C of the, corrected reference temperature (i.e. the CTU

probe as measured by PT1).



The corrected reference temperature must momentarily cross over the desired cal. temperature

(6°C, 28°C., and 40.5°C) and then cross back over again. The only exception is check 4 where

the reference temperature must only drop below 38°C.



The average Inlet Pressure must be within 0.2 PSI of -7.0 PSI.



The Bypass Valve must be closed.

If a check cannot be completed in 15 minutes, a message is displayed.

Again, this test requires precise measurement by the patient temperature channels. Therefore, the

patient temperature checks must first be successfully completed. Further, in the measurement of

water temperature, flow is also important. Therefore, the inlet pressure check must also have been

completed as suction is the driving force in creating flow. If not, "N/A" is displayed at the Water check

prompt to indicate that it could not be completed.

Newly calibrated temporary values are checked against the corrected average probe temperature

values obtained during the checks. Both T1 and T2 readings must be within 0.24 C of the probe, the

T3 sensor must be within 0.4C of the probe reading, and the T4 sensor must be within 0..4C

11

Page 12

(checked at the 6 deg temperature only). An “ck err X” message (X = sensor 1,2 ,3, or 4) is displayed

if the criteria is not met.

2.5.8

Calibration

All checks, with the exception of the Temperature Out check, must have been successfully completed

before calibration is allowed. The Temperature Out check must at least be attempted, but does not

have to be successful, since the check will fail if the function has not been previously calibrated. N/A

is displayed following the “Cal System?” prompt if calibration is not allowed. At this point, the

operator may record the system clock and reject or proceed with the new calibration.

The final stage of calibration uses PT1 to measure the Temperature Out as it is stepped through the

range of possible values. This process takes about 28 minutes. Upon completion, the operator is

prompted to save the calibration values.

The information saved during the save process includes;



New cal factors generated during the calibration,



CTU values (A thru G) entered during the test



Cal Hours value which was set to zero prior to the save.

The stored CTU values can be manually set to defaults by exercising the “Erase Novram User

Defaults” (Diag 23) menu option in advanced service mode. Additionally, stored CTU values will

automatically be set to defaults if the cyclical redundancy check (crc) value for either of the CTU

values is incorrect when retrieved from memory.

The default CTU values are:

A.

10.87 C

B. 24.54 C

C. 34.35 C

D. 39.97 C

E. 0.00 C

F. 0.00 C

G. 0.00 C

2.6

Water Temperature High Alarm Check

The CTU includes a 500W heater that is activated by a momentary switch. This heater can be used

to add heat when the Arctic Sun is operating at its highest water temperature setpoint to force a high

water temperature alarm, thus verifying the alarm's correct operation.

12

Page 13

CHAPTER 3

3.1

MAINTENANCE

Recommended Maintenance

The Calibration and Test Unit contains no operator maintainable parts. Other than periodic cleaning

of the exterior surfaces, none is required.

Cleaning instructions: Spray a mild detergent solution onto a towel and wipe down the unit. Take

care to not saturate the towel with the solution, use only enough to dampen the unit. Towel dry the

unit after wiping it down with the cleaning solution.

If a Mains fuse opens (inoperative heater), return the CTU to Medivance for service. An open fuse is

indicative of a problem that requires immediate service.

3.2

Calibration

The CTU should be returned to the manufacturer for calibration every two years. The date of last

calibration is indicated by the international symbol for calibration, an upside down solid black triangle,

, which can be found on the top of the CTU.

13

13. Press the S4 switch on the CTU. Monitor the User Interface

Water temperature and start the timer once the temperature

reaches 42.6 . Verify that alarm 34 sounds in less than 14

seconds. Release the switch immediately.

Note: If the water temperature drops below 42.6°C, restart the

timer when the water again reaches 42.6C.

Note: If the water temperature exceeds 44.1C for more than

1 second Alarm 33 will occur, and the test must be repeated

Note: If S4 is held too long or is pressed when no water is

flowing, a safety circuit will turn off power to the heater. The

CTU must be allowed to cool completely if this should occur.
