PATIENT SAFETY SERVICE MANUAL ® Medi-Therm PATIENT SAFETY WARNING (continued) • Avoid placing additional heat sources between the patient and blanket. Skin damage can result. Heat applied by the blanket can result in a rise in skin temperature at the areas of contact. The additional heat rise due to electrosurgical currents flowing to the dispersive electrode could be sufficient to cause tissue injury.
Repairs should be performed only by qualified personnel such as certified biomedical electronics technicians or certified clinical engineers familiar with repair practices for servicing medical devices, and in accordance with the Medi-Therm III Service Manual. Improper repair may result in death or serious injury, equipment damage, or malfunction.
(2) years, under the terms and conditions of the Gaymar warranty in place at the time of purchase. The compressor portion of the machine carries a five (5) year prorated warranty. The full warranty is available from Gaymar upon request.
Patient probe—Skin surface (10' [3.0 meters] long); YSI 400 series type Probe Adaptor • ADP10B Reusable adaptor cable for DP400: connects Gaymar disposable probe to Gaymar or Cincinnati Sub-Zero control unit. WARNING Some manufacturer’s patient probes may contain compensation resistors in series with YSI 400 series thermistors.
The feedback for control purposes depends upon the machine's operating mode. The Medi-Therm III machine may be operated in one of three operating modes: • In MANUAL mode, the operator sets the desired blanket temperature. A...

SERVICE MANUAL CLEANING PROCEDURES ® Medi-Therm CLEANING Pump PROCEDURES Pump motor should be oiled once a year with 3-4 drops of general purpose motor oil in the locations identified on the pump label. (continued) Panel Exterior Clean the control panel and panel exterior with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
• Current Leakage Tester • Static Control Wrist Strap The GAYMAR MT590 Test Tool is a dedicated test tool available from Gaymar Industries. This tool was designed to allow for more convenient and safer testing of the high temp backup thermostats by eliminating the need to remove the lower wraparound cover and avoiding the use of a shorting jumper that could be accidentally left inside the machine.

Using other refrigerants or oils will damage the compressor. • The Medi-Therm III R-134a system uses a polyol ester oil for lubrication because conventional mineral oils do not provide sufficient lubricity and miscibility. R-134a refrigerant and polyol ester oil are highly susceptible to moisture absorption (more so than mineral oil).

123 to 137 psi, under the following conditions: the unit’s wraparound is removed; the ambient temperature is 72°F (22.2°C); the unit is connected to a blanket, and the Medi-Therm III has been set to 39.2°F (4°C) in manual mode; the reservoir water temperature is 40°F (4.4°C); and, the pressure check is performed with a gauge manifold connected to the system with flexible hoses.
SERVICE MANUAL REPAIR PROCEDURES ® Medi-Therm REPLACING THE CAUTION POWER SUPPLY BOARD Wear a static control device connected to the chassis ground to prevent electrostatic discharge. (See figure 5, p. 35.) Electrostatic discharge can damage circuitry on PC boards. The following procedures describe replacement of the power supply board. A digital voltmeter is required.
REPAIR PROCEDURES SERVICE MANUAL ® Medi-Therm REPLACING THE CAUTION CONTROL/DISPLAY Wear a static control device connected to the chassis ground to prevent BOARD electrostatic discharge. (See figure 5, p. 35.) Electrostatic discharge can damage circuitry on PC boards. Control/Display Board Removal (refer to figure 8, p. 67): Unplug the power cord.
SERVICE MANUAL REPAIR PROCEDURES ® Medi-Therm Move the 26-conductor cable harness and EMI filter assembly over the standoffs. Insert two board screws through the transformer cable retaining clips on the transformer cable and mount one through the corner EMI filter assembly hole and into the standoff. Mount the other to the standoff along the board's longer edge.
(Wakefield Engineering; Wakefield, Massachusetts) CAUTION Always use thermal grease on thermostats for MTA6900 series Medi-Therm III units. Failure to use thermal grease could raise trip points above the acceptable range. Reconnect spade lugs to terminals. Refer to figures 17, p. 79 to ensure thermostat is connected correctly.
SERVICE MANUAL REPAIR PROCEDURES ® Medi-Therm CLEANING THE To clean the flow switch (see figure 7 below and figure 15, pp. 76-77): FLOW SWITCH Remove nuts (item A) and remove assembly. Loosen hose clamps (items B and C) and remove hoses. Remove barbed adapters (item D).
