ALERT SECTION

ALERT indicators light when some form of
operator action is required. In addition to the visual
indicator, an audible alarm may sound. ALERT controls
allow the Medi-Therm III operator to test panel lights or
to silence the audible alarm.
CHECK WATER FLOW indicates the flow
of water to the blanket/body wrap has been restricted.
NOTE: When two gray hose sets are in use, the
Check Water Flow alarm will only sound if
the flow through BOTH gray hose sets is
occluded. (See page 7, section 5.7)
CHECK PATIENT PROBE indicates the patient
probe is sensing an abnormal patient temperature (below
29°C [84.2°F] or above 45°C [113°F]). It may indicate
the patient probe has become dislodged, an incorrect
probe is being used, or a probe has become defective. An
audible alarm accompanies this alert.
ADD WATER indicates the water reservoir is filled
to less than the recommended level.
