Hi. At our maternity hospital is special care baby unit CosyTherm model CCU200 by INDITHERM(now INSPIRATION HEALTHCARE) The device works without failures and errors. But the actual surface temperature of the mattress is below the set values. For example; At a setting of 39 degrees Celsius. The surface of the mattress has a 33.5. Measurements were made by several different infrared thermometers and mattress is covered with a dense thermoset. I do not have a service manual And there are no mechanical adjusting elements on the board For that is USB and RJ45 ports. What does it mean setting up and adjusting with program software or built-in web server. If it is possible to obtain documentation on the procedure for setting the temperature. Thanks With best regards SJ.
"The mattress contains a special conductive heating material and will not cause any environmental heating. The heat given off by this material will only be felt by the user / patient when applying pressure / weight to the mattress. It is normal that the mattress or blanket do not feel particularly warm to the touch when left uncovered"
Malcolm,many thanks for the explanation. Try to emulate the patient. TUF experts install thermo probes on top of the surface without a patient and the device does not pass the test.
As a general rule, in the absence of firm technical documentation, I have always found it advisable to carry out functional tests in as close to actual operating conditions as possible.
In other words, if (as Malcolm has suggested) a "dummy patient" (weight) is indicated, then so be it!
PS: are we talking about TÃœV? What are they up to, I wonder?

Logically
By the way Kanmed BabyWarmer(water mattress version) perfectly heated mattress without patient.
So Evenly distributed 5 kilograms of the mattress and between the mattress and weight set the temperature sensor. Everything works perfectly P.S. CosyTherm we used rarely, store it in stock
As you will be aware, the Kanmed works in a completely different way.
By the way, if your CosyTherms are being held as back-ups (and in any case), I feel it's a pity they did not go for the (mains and) battery-powered models (CCU201 and CCU202). Good when transporting neonates. Next time, maybe.

Kanmed outwardly looks very simple - a flat heater located is under mattress. But the algorithm (of the sensors) is more complicated. They calculate even the presence-absence of water We have two transport Hill-Rom/Drager TI500. Ð’ut with one this weekend occur problem with batteries in UPS and we remembered about CosyTherm
