It was reported that the device was not cooling a hypothermia patient. Therapy began at 9:30am. Target temperature was 34c, water temperature was 5c, and the flow rate was good. The nurse stated the patient's temperature only got to 35. 6 since starting therapy. The patient was started on a propafol drip at 2 pm. The patient weighed (b)(6) kg and had 4 pads in place.
