Position of the Main Unit
The Main Unit is most often placed under
the operating table. It may also be hung in
its handle. The cable of the remote control
is generally long enough (about 3m) to
reach the anaesthesia work place. The air
hoses are 1.5m which will allow you to tilt
the Operating table. Place the unit so that
you can disconnect the mains power cord
easily.
Note: Route the mains cable and the
compressed air tube so that they do not
risk causing trip hazard or get run over by
other equipment.
Note: If the or-table is to be tilted make
sure that it does not hit the WarmCloud
unit.
5 Starting the WarmCloud and Practical advice
Before first use with patient
Before you start using Kanmed WarmCloud with a patient it is advisable to simulate an operation
where both anaesthesia and surgical staff are present. You can then test the best position of the
Main Unit, its power cable and gas connection in relation to other operating theatre equipment.
Check that arm support, safety straps and retainers still fit because the inflated Mattress increases
the height of the patient by about 3-5cm.
Medical air connection
Connect the WarmCloud to a medical air outlet. Arrange the tube to eliminate trip risk.
Connect the remote control if available.
The WarmCloud must be pre-programmed to work with or without a remote control. If this has not
been done you can find information about this at the end of this manual.
If WarmCloud is not programmed for the remote control and a remote is connected then the
remote will show “NOT ACTIVE”
.
If it is programmed for the remote control but the remote is missing or damaged the unit will
display this symbol:
WarmCloud alerts you about this with a short beep.
It will then continue to work as if no remote is connected.
A WarmCloud remote control can be used on any new WarmCloud unit.
Activating and deactivation of the remote is done on the main unit
.
Power connection
Connect the power cable to the unit. Arrange the cable to eliminate trip risk.
A beep will be heard, and a green light will blink over the symbol. Display will show

.
Power failure
If the power supply is interrupted the unit will alarm. When power is restored it will automatically
restart including the self-test. It re-starts with the values set before the power failure.
Connect a mattress
Connect a mattress as described above.
Hose cover
A disposable plastic hose cover is available to help keeping the hoses clean.
