The quick-disconnects joining the connector hose to the
machine may become difficult to engage. This problem
can be prevented by periodically applying a silicone base
or light machine oil to the outside of the male connector
prior to engagement.

Preventive maintenance and service procedures are
described in the Medi-Therm II MTA6012CE Service
Manual. These procedures should be performed annually

personnel such as certified biomedical electronics
technicians or certified clinical engineers.
