ELECTRI-COOL®II
OPERATION AND TECHNICAL MANUAL
Cincinnati Sub-Zero Products, LLC, reserves the right to make equipment changes and improvements, which may
not be reflected in this manual.
WARNING
A physician’s order is required for setting temperature and use of equipment. At least every
20 minutes, or as directed by a physician, check the patient’s temperature and skin condition
of areas in contact with the blanket. Also check blanket water temperature. Pediatric,
temperature-sensitive patients with vascular disease, surgical patients, diabetics and
patients with Raynaud’s Disease should be checked more frequently. Notify the physician
promptly of any change, in order to avoid serious injury.
Observe patient’s skin condition frequently due to individual differences in sensitivity
and susceptibility to injury from cold and/or externally applied chemicals or pressure.
Patients at greatest risk are those unconscious, on prolonged therapy, diabetics,
children and persons incapacitated or with insensitive skin areas or poor circulation.
Prevent excessive and/or prolonged tissue pressure and shearing forces, especially over
bony prominences to prevent skin damage which may result.
Do not place additional heat or cold sources between the patient and blanket. Skin damage
may occur.
The area between the patient and the blanket should be kept dry to avoid injury to the
patient.
Do not use pins to secure pad or hoses. Do not allow pad or hoses to come in contact with
any sharp object. A water leak could cause a slip hazard.
Do not use the Electri-Cool® II system in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Risk of
explosion can result.
Power interruption will cause the Electri-Cool® II system to revert to the default range of 40°F
- 45°F (5°C - 7°C). Follow instructions for First Time Set-Up/System Test Routine to resume
operation. Failure to resume the desired therapy could result in injury.
In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply main with protective earth.
Electric shock hazard may be present. Do not remove cover.
Service is to be performed by qualified personnel only.

CAUTION
US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Use distilled water only. Do not use De-Ionized water. De-Ionized water may cause
corrosion to plumbing system components. Do not use tap water. Minerals and deposits
can clog plumbing system components.
Do not use alcohol. Alcohol may cause blanket and unit deterioration.
Do not overfill. Overfilling may result in overflow when the water in the blanket drains back
into the system when it is turned off.
Use only hospital grade power plug, or electrical shock may result.
Do not operate pump without pad connected or with pad clamps in the “closed” position.
Always check clamps to make sure they are fully open.
Check hose couplings to be certain that they are properly locked together.
Make sure hose and pads are free of kinks which might restrict flow.
Complete folding of pad may restrict flow and reduce therapy to patient.
The pad surface should be checked for damage prior to each application.
To ensure maximum therapy is delivered, it may be necessary to retain the pad on the
patient with straps for adequate contact with the patient.
Follow pad instructions as well as hospital/physician instructions for applying, storing and
disposal of product.
Special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility are required and the Electri-
Cool® II needs to be installed and put into service according to the electromagnetic
compatibility information provided. Electromagnetic compatibility refers to electronic devices
unintentionally affecting the operation of each other by emitting electromagnetic energy.
Due to electromagnetic compatibility, other equipment can affect the Electri-Cool® II system.
The Electri-Cool® II should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. Other
equipment includes ventilators, patient monitors, anesthesia delivery equipment, etc. If
adjacent placement or stacking is necessary, the Electri-Cool® II and the other equipment
should be observed to verify that it is operating normally in the mode that is set.
If the Electri-Cool® II system or other equipment is not operating normally, remove the device
from service and have a biomedical or service technician observe the device in operation.
Refer to the specifications section for recommended separation distances between other
equipment and the Electri-Cool® II system.
For safe handling and use of chemicals, follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning.
Always drain the Electri-Cool® II to a sanitary drain because bio-contaminants may be
present in the unit’s water supply.

1) RECEIVING AND INSPECTION/ IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
After unpacking the Electri-Cool®II, inspect the system for concealed damage. Retain all packing material
and carefully record or photograph any damage. Notify the carrier at once and ask for an inspection (in
writing). Failure to do this within 15 days may result in loss of claim. Do not return the equipment to
Cincinnati Sub-Zero. Call our Medical Technical Service department for further instruction.
2) INTRODUCTION
a) General Safety Precautions
To provide the patient with maximum safety during the use of the Electri-Cool®II Cold Therapy system, a
thorough knowledge and understanding of the system, and its correct application and operating use are
required. Each person who is responsible for use or direction of use of the system, such as physicians,
nurses, technicians and operators, must read and understand this operation and technical manual as well as
all precautions and warnings prior to use. It is recommended that this manual be read at least semi-annually
as a refresher for safe operation and application. For proper knowledge and understanding, in-service is
available upon request.
b) General Product Description
The Electri-Cool®II system has been designed to provide maximum thermal transfer efficiency at optimum
safety. The Electri-Cool®II consists of a plastic reservoir for holding distilled water; a float switch to sense
water level; a pump for circulating water through an external pad; a thermoelectric (TE) module to cool the
water; a microprocessor-based electronic control to regulate water temperature; and a fan to transfer
absorbed heat to the ambient air. The user can select among three pre-set temperature ranges: 51°F - 55°F
(11°C - 13°C); 46°F - 50°F (8°C - 10°C); and 40°F - 45°F (5°C - 7°C). In addition to the aforementioned
features, this model includes audible and visual indicators for low temperature and low water levels. The unit
also shuts down entirely in the event of an internal component over-temperature condition.
c) Intended Use
The Electri-Cool®II, Model 767 Portable Cold TherapyUnit is used to provide cold therapy immediately
following the surgical procedure at the wound site. The system is composed of a water reservoir, a
thermoelectric sub-assembly, a circulating pump, a micro-processor control board, a fan and a local therapy
pad.
d) Contraindications
There are currently no known contraindications.
