3. Two gray hose sets are provided to connect multiple
blankets and/or body wraps in order to provide
more body surface contact. Increased body surface
contact facilitates more efficient warming/cooling.
NOTE: When connecting a second blanket/body
wrap to the Medi-Therm III machine, check the
water level prior to connecting the additional
blanket/body wrap (see Start-up Procedure, pp. 6-7).
Start-up Procedure
5.4 Open All Clamps
Open all pinch/slide clamps on the connector hose and
the Hyper/Hypothermia blanket/body wrap.
Failure to open the pinch/slide clamps will prevent water
flow and will trigger the CHECK FLOW alert.
5.5 Connect Power/Turn Machine On
Insert the power cord plug into a properly grounded AC
receptacle. Press the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
When first turned on, the Medi-Therm III enters its
standby mode:
• the ON/OFF switch will light;
• the machine will beep once;
• the WATER, PATIENT, and SET POINT temperature
displays will show dashes;
• the SELECT MODE heading will flash.
5.6 Perform Check Flow Procedure (when
using two gray hose sets)
When two gray hose sets are in use, the CHECK WATER
FLOW alarm will only sound if the flow through both gray
hoses is occluded.
To check the flow through the blankets/body wraps:
• Put machine into BLANKET CONTROL mode.
• Disconnect one gray hose set from the machine
connection. If the flow is patent, the alarm will
not sound.
• Reconnect the hose set to the machine.
• Disconnect the second gray hose set from the
machine connection. If the flow is patent, the
alarm will not sound.
• Reconnect the second hose set to the machine.
• See p.6, section 5.3, part 1 for instructions on
properly connecteing the hoses to the Medi-
Therm III.
