9.6 Quick Disconnects
The quick-disconnects joining the connector hose to the
machine may become difficult to engage. This problem
can be eliminated by applying a silicone base or light
machine oil to the outside of the male connector prior
to engagement.
9.7 Draining Machine
It is not necessary to drain the Medi-Therm III
machine after each use. However, periodic draining is
recommended at least once a month.
To lower the water level, close both pinch clamps on
the connector hose. Place the end with both Clik-Tite
connectors into a sink or pail. Open the pinch clamps.
Press the ON/OFF switch to ON and press MANUAL
mode button. The machine will pump the water reservoir
empty. Press ON/OFF button to OFF when CHECK WATER
FLOW lights. After the water is pumped out, do not leave
the machine on or it may overheat.
Preventive maintenance and service procedures are
described in the Medi-Therm III Service Manual. These
procedures should be performed by qualified personnel
such as certified biomedical electronics technicians or
certified clinical engineers.
