PATIENT SAFETY SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm II 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.
SERVICE MANUAL MACHINE PRECAUTIONS Medi-Therm II MACHINE DANGER PRECAUTIONS Disconnect power before servicing unit. Risk of electric shock. WARNING • 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 II Service Manual.
The Medi-Therm II Hyper/Hypothermia machine is warranted free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (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.

SERVICE MANUAL THEORY OF OPERATION Medi-Therm II THEORY OF The Gaymar Medi-Therm II 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. The blanket provides an interface for heating or cooling the patient.
Page 14
THEORY OF OPERATION SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm II THEORY OF WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL OPERATION, Hot and cold solenoid valves regulate the flow path by directing water returning from the blanket to either the hot or cold water reservoir. MEDI-THERM II Regulating the flow path controls the temperature of water pumped to the MACHINE (continued) blanket.
SERVICE MANUAL THEORY OF OPERATION Medi-Therm II THEORY OF BACKUP SYSTEMS OPERATION, Backup systems within the Medi-Therm II machine limit the temperature of water exiting the machine to specified ranges in the event of a failure of the control MEDI-THERM II system including the microprocessor: MACHINE (continued) Maximum water temperature is limited by two bimetallic thermostats.
THEORY OF OPERATION SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm II 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 blanket water probe RT2, cold water reservoir probe RT1, flow switch S5, and level switch S4 to (continued) the power supply board at J2 and ultimately to the control/display...

THEORY OF OPERATION SERVICE MANUAL Medi-Therm II 6.4.6 COLD WATER The control latch U51 on the control/display board is the interface between the microprocessor (via the data bus at address 0FF7FH) and the refrigeration RESERVOIR compressor relay driver on the power supply board. A high signal on the TEMPERATURE appropriate data line causes a low signal at pin 6 of U51 on the control/display CONTROL...
