Overview
The HICO-Variotherm 555 is a hypo/hyperthermia unit for warming and cooling patients in intensive care units and operating theatres, made in Germany by pfm medical hico. It controls water temperature from 5 to 40 °C and circulates it through up to two reusable HICO polyurethane water pads, with single-use Soft-Temp pads as an option.
Microprocessor-controlled Peltier technology keeps operation quiet, at about 45 dB(A). The unit is defibrillation-protected, stands on the floor and is available with a tilt-resistant castor base. Patients lie on the pads, so nursing staff keep free access.
For theatre warming only, see the HICO-Aquatherm 660; for neonatal and paediatric warming and cooling, the HICO-Variotherm 550.
