PATIENT SAFETY SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm ® PATIENT SAFETY (continued) • Avoid placing additional heat sources between the patient and blanket/ body wrap. Skin damage can result. Heat applied by the blanket/body wrap 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.

SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm ® THEORY OF The Gaymar Medi-Therm III machine provides a means of regulating patient temperature by supplying temperature-controlled water through a connector OPERATION, SYSTEM hose to a Gaymar Hyper/Hypothermia blanket/body wrap. The blanket/body wrap provides an interface for heating or cooling the patient. A patient probe senses patient temperature, which is displayed on the control panel.
Page 14
SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm ® THEORY OF WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL Hot and cold solenoid valves regulate the flow path by directing water OPERATION, returning from the blanket/body wrap to either the hot or cold water reservoir. MEDI-THERM III Regulating the flow path controls the temperature of water pumped to the MACHINE (continued) blanket/body wrap.
SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm ® THEORY OF BACKUP SYSTEMS Backup systems within the Medi-Therm III machine limit the temperature of OPERATION, water exiting the machine to specified ranges in the event of a failure of the MEDI-THERM III control system including the microcontroller: MACHINE (continued) Maximum water temperature is limited by two bimetallic thermostats.
SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm ® SYSTEM Four cables connect the components in the base of the machine to the PC boards in the head (see figure 8, p.67): COMPONENT INTERCONNECTIONS • A 9-pin connector P6 ties the water temperature probe RT2, cold water reservoir probe RT1, flow switch S5, and level switch S4 to the (continued) power supply board at J2 and ultimately to the control/display board.

SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm ® That is, while the solenoids and heater are either on or off, the ratio of on time to off time is proportional to the calculated control signal amplitude. For large differences between set point and probe temperatures, the output to the cold solenoid will be on and the output to the hot solenoid/heater combination will be off, or vice-versa.

SERVICE MANUAL THEORY OF OPERATION Medi-Therm ® with corresponding model number of your machine.) When any one of these 6.4.7 BACK-UP WATER thermostats opens, it directly interrupts the circuit and shuts off the pump and TEMPERATURE heater; at the same time, full line voltage will appear between J1-2 and J1-3. In this LIMITING (continued) case, U5 and U10 will be turned on by the action of R4, D3, and associated parts while U3 and U9 will be turned on by the action of R6, D2, and associated parts.
Notify the carrier at once and ask for an inspection (in writing). Failure to do this within 15 days may result in loss of claim.
