2 Safety
2.1 Approvals
Just like development and production, the system must also be serviced in accordance with the
following standards and legal regulations.
The Heater-Cooler System is a medical product, class B (EU Directive 93/42). A Declaration of
Conformity has been issued for the Heater-Cooler.
!
● In accordance with applicable regulations, the Heater-Cooler is used with a Stöckert Heart-
Lung Machine (S3/SC) for the controlled heating/cooling of 3 water circuits during
extracorporeal perfusion. The water circuits are used for cooling/heating blood (in the oxy-
genator), hypothermia blankets or cardioplegic solutions. The use of the Heater-Cooler for
any other purposes is not in accordance with the regulations. Stöckert assumes no liability
whatsoever for damages arising from such usage. Usage in accordance with regulations
also includes compliance with the operating instructions as well as repair and maintenance
according to the maintenance instructions.
● Relevant accident prevention measures according to existing local policy and employees’
health and safety regulations must be complied with. Stöckert Instrumente GmbH will not
assume any liability for damage due to non-compliance with these regulations.
● Stöckert Instrumente GmbH will not assume any liability for injuries and/or damage
caused by failure to observe the safety instructions or by the operator not taking due care.
This applies even if the operator’s duty to take due care has not been specifically
expressed to the user.
● The Heater-Cooler has been designed according to current state-of-the art technology and
accepted safety standards. Although this may be the case, danger may arise for the
patient, the user or for other equipment during operation.
● The operating instructions must be available close to the Heater-Cooler at all times. Incom-
plete or illegible operating instructions must be replaced immediately.
● According to the European Directive 93/42 and the national standards based on this
directive, the Heater-Cooler must be subjected to a regular maintenance check by an
authorised service representative. The maintenance check must be performed after every
1000 operating hours or at least once every 12 months (whichever comes first).
● In addition to the operating instructions, the relevant legal, general and binding regula-
tions concerning the prevention of accidents must be observed.
● In order to take situations into account which are clinic-specific and outside of normal rou-
tines, e.g. certain working procedures, the operating instructions must be supplemented
with relevant instructions (supervision and registration requirements, etc).
● Personnel operating the Heater-Cooler must have acquainted themselves thoroughly with
the operating instructions prior to working with the machine!
● Do not perform any modifications or extensions to the Heater-Cooler, unless they have
been tested and approved by Stöckert Instrumente GmbH. Stöckert Instrumente GmbH
cannot assume liability or responsibility for unauthorised modifications or changes.
● Keep the Heater-Cooler clean! Doing so will prevent possible contact errors and faults due
to dirt.
● Prior to working with the Heater-Cooler, you must have thoroughly read the operating
instructions and have become familiar with the machine functions!
● Ensure that the Heater-Cooler is placed on a horizontal surface and the castor brakes have
been locked prior to operation.
● Only use decalcified water (no distilled or de-ionised water) to fill the Heater-Cooler tanks.
● Check the water level of the tanks prior to each operation. Only operate the Heater-Cooler
if the water level is sufficient, i.e., is above the minimum water level (one segment of the
bar graph display).
● Empty the water tank completely at least once a week in order to prevent the growth of
bacteria and algae inside the tank.
● Prior to operation, check all cables, tubing, connectors and other accessories to ensure
correct connections, seals and proper function. Replace all damaged components immedi-
ately.
!
● Check the actual temperature displays on the Heater-Cooler regularly.
!
● Check the patient’s blood temperature with an appropriate temperature measurement sys-
tem regularly, independently of the displays on the Heater-Cooler (e.g. on the HLM).
● Activate the pumps of the primed and filled system prior to its first operation. Watch the
water level display on the Heater-Cooler control panel and monitor the connected heat
exchanger (e.g. oxygenator, cooling/heating blanket). A leakage in a water circuit will influ-
ence the water level in the connected tank.
● Do not use self-closing connectors. Compared to “open connectors”, they reduce the water
flow.
● Ensure that the tubing is straight and do not bend or twist it. Apart from occluding the
water flow, bent or twisted tubing can pose a hazard for the personnel (causing them to
stumble).
● Ensure optimum ventilation at the ventilation grills and the fan. Insufficient ventilation may
result in excessive heating of the Heater-Cooler.
● Modifications or extensions to the machine, as well as the use of spare parts, which have
not been tested and approved by Stöckert Instrumente GmbH, may have negative effects
on the safety and function of the machine. Stöckert Instrumente GmbH cannot accept any
liability or responsibility.
● Accessories and supplementary devices, which have not been tested and approved by
Stöckert Instrumente GmbH, must prove that their use does not pose a safety hazard (see
chap. 7.3 “Accessories” on page 7.3).
● The electrical installation must be in compliance with DIN VDE 0107 (for Germany) or the
corresponding, equivalent, local regulations and guidelines.. Hereby, refer to the technical
specifications.
● Check the functional safety of all electrical connections, cables and sockets regularly!
!
● Disconnect the Heater-Cooler from the power supply completely before carrying out main-
tenance and cleaning work.
● Please adhere to the instructions for maintenance and care given in these operating
instructions as well as the recommended maintenance intervals.
● Ensure that no liquids or cleaning agents enter the machine housing through the vents or
other openings.
● Repair work may only be carried out by authorised service technicians. Only original spare
parts from Stöckert Instrumente GmbH may be used in order to guarantee the proper func-
tioning of the Heater-Cooler.
● The Heater-Cooler performs a self-test during power-up. Check that all the LEDs, the 7-seg-
ment displays and the beep alarm function correctly.
● Visual and audible alarms indicate when an internal error has occurred.
● If the water level is too low, the water pumps will stop. The latter will be indicated by a
corresponding alarm.
3 System Description

The installed software version of the Heater/Cooler will be displayed in the "Set Temperature"
display of the patient tank during the self-test performed upon powering up.The Heater-Cooler
software comprises two parts:
● The kernel, which is created in the Heater-Cooler’s Flash program memory and provides the
CPU’s basic communication capability with the update software. As a rule, the kernel
(unlike the operating software) is not reloaded or updated.
● The actual operating software of the Heater-Cooler System. This is loaded via the serial
interface (RS232) of the CPU board. An update software package (Updater) for Windows is
available for this purpose.
!
Always take the time to read the “ReadMe” files supplied on the software diskettes! These files
always contain the latest information on installing and using the update software as well as
information about the update files.
!
Please make sure that you only use update files belonging to the Heater-Cooler System 3T. You
will recognise the correct files by their file names. The names of the update files created as
follows:
● The device type must be either “HP” (for the German “Hypothermie-/Plegiegerät”,
meaning Heater-Cooler/Plegia System) or “HPU” (for “Heater-Cooler/Plegia System, USA
version”).
● The letter under controller indicates either the control system (R) or the safety system (S).
● The version number is either a three-digit number (operating software, e.g. 108 for version
1.08) or a two-digit number (Flash kernel, e.g. 11 for version 1.1), always without the point.
● The file name extension is always *.a20.
D4
● Power off the Heater-Cooler and open the lid (see chap. 6.1.1 on page 6.2)
● To access the CPU board D 4, remove the plate covering the system electronics.
4.3.2 Programming
● The Heater-Cooler is part of a product batch that does not yet have a Flash kernel,
● the kernel has to be loaded because a pc board was replaced or
● there is a service instruction to update the kernel.

files into the desired folder. The default path in the “Updater” program is:
Programs\Updater\Data. Of course, you can define any other folder, which you must then
select when you start the program.
!
Make sure that both update files have the same version number. Otherwise, you cannot perform
an update!
On the Heater-Cooler:
● Connect the serial cable to the RS232 interface.
● Power on the Heater-Cooler (if you have not already done so).

Repairs to the cooling unit, particularly in the coolant circuit, cannot be carried out as part of an
on-site service. Mobile service personnel cannot check either the pressure in the system or the
water-tightness. As a result, the cooling unit can only be replaced as a complete unit. The next
section provides an overview of possible error sources so that you can correct minor errors
yourself (e.g. problems caused by dirt and dust) or so that you can at least locate the error
accurately.

Always replace the pumps with pumps of the same type! Two different types of pumps are used
in the Heater-Cooler Systems 3T, but the same pump type must always be used in one system.
What makes the pumps different is the way in which they are set (see “Change menu (basic
settings)” on page 4.7.); using mixed pumps results in operational errors.
When ordering a replacement pump, you must always specify the correct type and indicate the
installation location (patient tank/cardioplegia tank) for the supplied tubing set. The tubing
lengths vary according to where they are used!
