Start-up Procedure
5.2 Attach Blanket/Body Wrap
Attach the Hyper/Hypothermia blanket/body wrap to the
Medi‑Therm III machine (fig. 1, p. 2):
a. Connect a Gaymar Model DBK9 connector hose
to the Medi-Therm III machine. The hose is ten feet
long. It has quick‑disconnect (metal) fittings for the
Medi-Therm III machine end and Clik-Tite
connectors for the blanket/body wrap end.
To connect the hose, attach one quick-disconnect
fitting to the RETURN machine connection (top) and
one to the SUPPLY (bottom). See figure 5. To insure a
tight connection, push the retaining collar toward the
cabinet and insert the quick‑disconnect fitting firmly.
While holding the fitting, allow the retaining collar
to snap back into position. Check to make sure the
fitting is fully engaged by tugging firmly on the hose
fitting.

5.3 Open All Pinch Clamps
Open all pinch clamps on the connector hose and the
Hyper/Hypothermia blanket/body wrap.
Failure to open the pinch clamps will prevent water flow
and will trigger the CHECK WATER FLOW alert.
5.4 Check Water Level
Check to make sure water is at the proper level by
raising the cover on the water fill opening. Fill with
distilled water until the green band on the float is fully
visible (fig. 7).
Figure 7—Float, showing proper water level
Add distilled water only. Failure to use
distilled water may result in poor machine
performance.
Do not use alcohol, which may accelerate
blanket/body wrap deterioration.
Do not operate without water, since damage
to internal components may result.
Do not overfill. Overfilling may result in
overflow because the water in the blanket/body
wrap drains back into the machine when the
machine is turned off.
