Frequently asked questions
Does the unit offer silent, easy mobility?
Yes, the Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 is specifically engineered for superior mobility and ease of use in clinical settings.
- Caster Design: The unit is mounted on four high-quality, swivel-type rubber casters.
- Movement Quality: These casters are designed to provide friction-free, silent movement, ensuring effortless relocation across a clinic floor without disturbing patients or staff.
- Convenience: The mobile base simplifies transport and allows for convenient storage within the therapeutic environment, despite the unit’s robust 66.0 lb (30 kg) weight.
Is durable stainless steel used?
Yes, the Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 is constructed with high-quality, durable materials designed for rigorous clinical use:
- Exterior: Features high-quality stainless steel, which is robust, easy to clean, and simple to maintain.
- Interior: The unit incorporates fiberglass interior insulation. This insulation ensures excellent thermal efficiency, helping the thermostatically controlled system consistently maintain the required therapeutic temperature range of 160° - 165° F (71° - 74° C) for the HotPacs.
What is the heating unit's water capacity?
The Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 has a substantial tank capacity of 10 gallons (37 L). This generous volume is ideal for clinical settings, allowing you to efficiently heat and store a large quantity of HotPacs for continuous use.
This high volume works in conjunction with the unit’s internal fiberglass insulation to maintain excellent thermal stability, ensuring the HotPacs are consistently kept within the therapeutic temperature range of 160° F to 165° F (71° C to 74° C).
What is the consistent operating temperature?
The Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 is thermostatically controlled to ensure consistent, reliable moist heat therapy.
The unit is engineered to maintain HotPacs within a precise therapeutic range:
- Operating Temperature: 160° F to 165° F (71° C to 74° C)
For safety, the unit is equipped with a thermal cut-out mechanism that activates if the internal temperature exceeds 180° F to 185° F (82° C to 85° C).
What is the heat up time?
The Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 Mobile Heating Unit requires an initial heat-up time of approximately 4 hours to reach the target therapeutic temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Once operational, the unit’s thermostatically controlled system reliably maintains the temperature in the ideal range for therapy:
- Operating Temperature: 160°F to 165°F (71°C to 74°C)
- Thermal Cut-Out Safety: 180°F to 185°F (82°C to 85°C)
Does the unit use standard 110V power?
Yes, the Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 is designed for compatibility with standard electrical systems found in North American clinical settings. Its power specifications are:
- Main Power Requirement: 110 - 120 V, 50/60 Hz
- Power Consumption: 1000 W
Is the Hydrocollator unit safety certified?
Yes, the Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 is certified to meet stringent safety and quality standards required for clinical environments. It holds the following certifications:
- Conforms to UL 60601-1 (Safety standards for medical electrical equipment)
- Certified to Can/CSA C222 No. 601.1 (Canadian standards)
Additionally, the unit is classified as Electrical Safety Class 1, Type B.
Where should this Hydrocollator be used?
The Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 Mobile Heating Unit is designed for professional application of moist heat therapy. It is ideal for use in demanding clinical environments such as:
- Physical therapy clinics
- Chiropractic offices
- Medical rehabilitation centers
Does the Hydrocollator maintain consistent heat?
Yes, the Chattanooga Hydrocollator SS-2 is engineered for precise and consistent temperature maintenance, which is essential for effective moist heat therapy in clinical settings. This stability is achieved through several key features:
- Thermostatic Control: The unit actively regulates the heating system to ensure a stable water temperature.
- Optimal Operating Range: HotPacs are reliably maintained within the therapeutic range of 160° F to 165° F (71° C to 74° C).
- Superior Insulation: A robust fiberglass interior insulation lining minimizes heat loss and improves overall thermal stability and efficiency.
- Safety Feature: The unit includes a thermal cut-out mechanism that prevents overheating, automatically activating if the temperature exceeds 180° F to 185° F.
