Themanual includes four unique sections of materials: Section 1: Basic Addiction Information; Section 2: Core Functions of Counseling; Section 3: Specialty Information; Section 4: The Testing Process.
We have updated information in this revision to reflect recent federal studies as well as updates to information on Motivational Interviewing. This guide also contains a chapter on DSM-5 and Substance Use Disorders information that will be included on the credentialing exam.
Our manuals contain the latest instructions and information for cardiac physicians, radiologists and MR technologists. We recommend that you download and review the most current version any time a patient with an Abbott product needs an MRI.
Use this database to search for any cardiovascular instructions for use. These include arrhythmia, heart failure, structural heart, biliary and mitral valve repair and other vascular IFUs. You can search by product name, model number, category or family.
Our checklists for cardiac physicians, radiologists and MRI technologists help ensure they've considered all aspects of patient safety before peforming an MRI for a patient with a leadless pacemaker, traditional pacemaker, ICD, CRT-D or CRT-P.
Based on the country you select, you can choose the device and lead combination (if applicable) to get scan parameters. If a device is not shown in the list, it is not MR Conditional. Alternatively, you can also use the latest MRI Manuals to determine scan parameters.
The default MRI parameter settings are automatically stored in the Abbott MR Conditional device. Download the MRI Ready Systems Manual or MRI Ready Leadless System Manual for details on default settings and how to save modified settings for scanning.
Follow the checklist instructions within Merlin Programmer. Download the MRI Ready Systems Manual or MRI Ready Leadless System Manual to see examples of checklist screens and get additional details about the checklist.
Based on the country you select, you can choose the device and lead combination (if applicable) to get scan parameters. If a device is not shown in the list, it is not MR Conditional. Alternatively, you can also use the latest MRI Manuals to determine scan parameters.
Download the MRI Ready Systems Manual or MRI Ready Leadless System Manual to check the MRI scan parameter tables for the applicable scan and identify the settings for RF Transmit Conditions and scan regions.
CAUTION: Do not bring any external control devices, such as the Merlin Patient Care System (PCS) Programmer, SJM MRI Activator handheld device, or AVEIR Link Module into the scanner magnet room (Zone IV). These devices are considered MR Unsafe.
Download the MRI Ready Systems Manual or MRI Ready Leadless System Manual for details about checking the MRI Settings status. For certain pacemakers, the MRI Activator handheld device may be used.
MRI Settings must be disabled by the patient's device management physician or clinician using the Merlin Programmer, and the AVEIR Link Module for leadless pacemakers. For certain pacemakers, the MRI Activator handheld device may be used.
Battered food should not be put into the basket directly. The batter will wrap around the basket coils and get stuck.
Lower the basket into the oil first. Wearing gloves when placing battered food directly in oil.
The heating time will vary depending on the model and size. Whether you have a fixed bowl model or a removable bowl can make a difference. The average time for all should be between 10 and 18 minutes. The temperature indicator light will be on while the fryer is heating up. The light will go off when the fryer has reached temperature.
Metallic charcoal filters should be changed between 35 to 50 frying sessions, depending on model (the saturation indicator shows when the filter needs to be changed). Foam filters should be changed after 20 frying sessions. If you are frying fish we recommend using a separate filter and changing the oil after use. Waterclean filters made of carbon fibres should be washed after 80 uses (it regenerates after each wash). The Pure Air system is a permanent system that does not need to be replaced.
The oil in your fryer must be changed after 10 uses, as a minimum. Sunflower oil and groundnut oil must be changed after 5 uses or if you hear a popping sound (this means that there is water in the oil). To extend the life of the oil, filter it regularly. You may need to change it more often if frying fish, seafood or battered foods.
Oil should be strained and or filtered (by using paper filters or a filtering pot or a skimmer) after it cools and after each use. This will keep the oil from early contamination. Oil used for fish should be stored separately.
a) The oil is not hot enough. If you have an adjustable thermostat be sure it is set at the proper setting for the food you are cooking. If your unit does not have an adjustable thermostat, be sure the light on the fryer has gone off, this tells you that the oil is ready for frying.
b) Too much food is in the basket. Fry the food in smaller quantities (particularly frozen foods) for better results.
c) You did not cook the food long enough. Increase cooking time by a few minutes, lift basket to check for crispness.
a) The fryer was filled beyond the maximum level (either with oil or with food in the frying basket). Check the oil level. The bowl is marked with a minimum and a maximum level.
b) Wet food has been dropped into the oil. Dry the food completely or remove any loose ice from frozen foods before frying.
Depending on the model:
a) Exterior Basket Control (allows you to lower food into the hot oil with the lid closed to prevent splashing).
b) Cool Touch Exterior.
c) Sealed Locking Lid with one-touch automatic opening.
d) Your fryer is equipped with thermal limiter to prevent overheating (dry-boil). This limiter is resettable for semi-pro models. If the appliance is not working, check to ensure that the limiter has not been triggered.
The fryer tank should be cold and filled before use, and the appliance should be unplugged.
After a few uses, you should adjust the level. Always do this with the appliance unplugged and cold.
Never use the fryer without oil or without cooking fat.
There are usually two markers in the tank: minimum and maximum. See the instructions for use.
In any case, do not exceed the maximum level, and do not add less oil than the minimum level indicated.
Put the foods in the basket in accordance with the maximum fill mark set forth in the instructions.
To get even better tasting food, we recommend filling to the half-way level rather than the maximum fill mark.
All small appliances have safety recommendations included in the instruction booklet. It is important that you read through the instruction booklet prior to use and save it for future reference.
Do not use your electric fryer outside, do not use with an extension cable, do not use on gas burners or cooking hobs (under the extractor hood).
Put the used oil in an air-tight container and dispose of it (consult your local recycling service as waste collection and infrastructure differ from one region to another. The ability to process recyclables varies depending on the local recycling service).
Do not empty it in the sink.
Water and oil are not miscible: if they mix and overheat, the sudden evaporation of water can cause the oil to splatter.
If the fryer makes a noise, this indicates that there is water in it. The noise is caused by the water evaporating.
As soon as you hear these popping noises, please change the oil. If you do not change the oil, it may start to splatter.
After following the instructions in the user manual for starting the appliance, make sure that your electrical socket is working by plugging another appliance. If it still does not work, do not try to dismantle or repair the appliance yourself, instead, take it to an approved repair centre
Electric fryers are controlled by a thermostat which is designed to keep the oil at the right temperature to avoid it overheating and igniting, which makes them safer. Most deep fat fryers also feature a thermal safety cut-out system to stop it working if it gets too hot. Other safety features include viewing windows so the cooking food is visible, cool walls to keep the outsides from getting too hot, and locking lids that prevent oil from splashing out while cooking and reducing the risks of spills if a fryer is knocked.
Too much water may have collected in the oil.
It is essential to dry the food completely and remove any ice from frozen foods before cooking.
If there is too much water in the oil, the water will boil and force its way to the surface, making the oil spit.
Water and oil are not miscible: if they mix and overheat, the sudden evaporation of water can cause the oil to splatter.
Always remove the excess water from foods before frying to ensure that the amount of water in the oil is kept to a minimum.
Never pour food (in particular frozen food) directly into the basket or over the fryer, as the ice will introduce water into the oil.
Do not cover the frying basket with the lid after use, as this can produce condensation in the fryer.
Do not allow condensation from the lid to drip into the fryer.
Never store or use the fryer outside, as this produces condensation.
A sourdough starter is a culture containing a stable blend of wild yeasts and suitable lactic acid bacteria. The culture is maintained indefinitely, fed with fresh flour and water (also called refreshing) consistently. A sourdough starter is used to seed fermentation in new dough when baking bread and is responsible for leavening (making rise) and flavoring a loaf of sourdough bread.
I like to feed mine twice daily because it gives me two opportunities to make a levain for baking. If you prefer, you can feed only once daily to reduce the flour used for these feedings. To do so, leave less ripe starter in the jar to lengthen the time between feedings. Keep reducing the amount of ripe starter left until the starter ripens right when you want to feed it consistently daily.
