Equipment for controlled hypothermia TECOTHERM NEO

Equipment for controlled hypothermia

• full cycle of therapy with setting the temperature range and duration of treatment
• Continuous monitoring of the child's body temperature
• intelligent temperature alarm system

Cooling therapy is used for newborn patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, undergoing heart surgery, brain damage, for neuroprotection in neonatal stroke and during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

The Tecotherm Neo Body Cooling System is designed to provide comfortable and easily controlled therapeutic procedures for cooling and warming the body of newborns. The Tecotherm Neo is programmable for a complete therapy cycle with set temperatures, duration of treatment and a temperature rise and cool range, making it easy to install and use even for an inexperienced user. Changes can be made at any time; all changes, settings and measured parameters are recorded on the memory card every minute for further data analysis. The Tecotherm Neo device allows for continuous (every 2 seconds) monitoring of the child's body temperature, as well as to monitor every minute changes in the temperature of the coolant. The device signals when the temperature deviates by more than 0.5°C from the set body temperature.

How the Tecotherm Neo works.

After the insertion of the rectal probe into the patient, the readings of the measured body temperature are transferred to the Tecotherm Neo device. With the help of a special water mattress, heat or cold is supplied to the entire body of the patient. Cooled water, in contact with the child, takes away part of the heat, then returns to the apparatus, where it is then cooled. There is a constant circulation of fluid around the circuit and, thereby, the required temperature of the patient's body is maintained. The temperature of the liquid leaving the device is also adjustable.

Tecotherm Neo имеет три режима работы:

1. Programmable Mode: The clinician can program the duration of the cooling session, temperature rise limit, and temperature target. In this mode, the Tecotherm Neo device performs a complete course of treatment without the intervention of personnel.
2. Controlled rectal temperature: The Tecotherm Neo maintains a temperature set by the clinician using a rectal sensor. The range of change can be set for both raising the temperature and cooling.
3. Constant Mattress Temperature: Fluid circulates through the mattress and maintains a constant set temperature regardless of the patient's condition. This mode can be used for research purposes, or an experienced user can independently monitor the patient's condition.
