The reported issue was confirmed.The root cause of the reported issue was a defective temperature cable.Per additional information received, the temperature cable was exchanged and the alerts disappeared.The biomedical technician noted that there was patient involvement, and the patient was placed on a second device, where therapy was completed.The lot number is unknown therefore the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: ¿warnings and cautions warnings ¿ do not use the arctic sun® temperature management system in the presence of flammable agents because an explosion and/or fire may result.¿ do not use high frequency surgical instruments or endocardial catheters while the arctic sun® temperature management system is in use.¿ there is a risk of electrical shock and hazardous moving parts.There are no user serviceable parts inside.Do not remove covers.Refer servicing to qualified personnel.¿ power cord has a hospital grade plug.Grounding reliability can only be achieved when connected to an equivalent receptacle marked ¿hospital use¿ or ¿hospital grade¿.¿ when using the arctic sun® temperature management system, note that all other thermal conductive systems, such as water blankets and water gels, in use while warming or cooling with the arctic sun® temperature management system may actually alter or interfere with patient temperature control.¿ do not place arcticgel¿ pads over transdermal medication patches as warming can increase drug delivery, resulting in possible harm to the patient.¿ the arctic sun® temperature management system is not intended for use in the operating room environment.Cautions ¿ this product is to be used by or under the supervision of trained, qualified medical personnel.¿ federal law (usa) restricts this device to sale, by or on the order of a physician.¿ use only sterile water.The use of other fluids will damage the arctic sun® temperature management system.¿ when moving the arctic sun® temperature management system always use the handle to lift the controller over an obstacle to avoid over balancing.¿ the patient¿s bed surface should be located between 30 and 60 inches (75 cm and 150 cm) above the floor to ensure proper flow and minimize risk of leaks.".
