Start-up Procedure

5.0 Start-up Procedure
CAUTION
The POWER LOSS INDICATOR battery may
discharge if the Medi-Therm III machine
has not been used for two months or more.
The battery may not become recharged
until the machine has operated for four
hours.
Perform the following start-up procedure each time the
Medi-Therm III system is used:
5.1 Check Water Level
Check to make sure water is at the proper level by
raising the cover on the water fill opening. Fill with
distilled water until the green band on the float is fully
visible (fig. 3).
Figure 3—Float, showing proper water level
CAUTION
• Do not operate without water, since
damage to internal components may result.
• Do not overfill. Overfilling may result in
overflow because the water in the blanket/body
wrap drains back into the machine when the
machine is turned off.

5.2 Close Pinch/Slide Clamps
Pinch/slide clamps are provided on both the DBK35CE
Connector Hose and the blanket/body wrap hoses to
prevent water spillage when blankets/body wraps are
changed (fig. 4).
Close the pinch/slide clamps on the connector hose and
Hyper/Hypothermia blanket/body wrap.
5.3 Attach Blanket/Body Wrap
green
Check the surface of reusable blankets prior to
band
each use. If the blanket shows signs of cracking
or begins to leak, remove it from use and
replace the blanket.
Attach the Hyper/Hypothermia blanket/body wrap to the
Medi-Therm III machine using a DBK35CE Connector
Hose (fig. 1, p. 3):
1. Attach one quick-disconnect fitting to the upper
machine connection and one to the lower (fig. 5,
p. 7). Push each retaining collar toward the cabinet
and insert the quick-disconnect fitting firmly. While
holding the fitting, allow the retaining collar to snap
back into position. Check to make sure the fitting is
fully engaged by tugging firmly on the hose.
