Modes of Operation / Automatic Mode

7.2 Automatic Mode

(To Control Patient Temperature)
When operating in the AUTO mode, the Medi-Therm III
automatically regulates the patient's temperature to the
selected SET POINT. The machine constantly compares
actual patient temperature with the SET POINT value, and
automatically adjusts the water temperature so that the
desired patient temperature is achieved.
To operate in AUTO mode:

Perform all start-up procedures (pp. 5-7).

Insert sensing end of patient probe into
patient and tape securely to prevent accidental
dislodgment.

Insert plug end of patient probe into PATIENT
PROBE jack.
NOTE: Make sure probe plug is fully seated.
Use only GAYMAR probes or
equivalent YSI 400 series probes
approved for use with medical devices.
If in doubt that the correct probe is being
used and is operating properly, perform a
PROBE CHECK test (p. 17, 10.1.2, item 4).

(p. 11).
If desired, change the temperature scale by
pressing the °C/°F button.
