3. Some applications may require a second blanket
using an additional DBK35CE Connector Hose in
order to achieve additional or more rapid heating
or cooling. For these situations, a second blanket
may be connected to the machine. The rate of
patient heating or cooling may also be increased by
positioning half- and full-size blankets so that greater
body surface is in contact with the blankets.
NOTE: When connecting a second blanket to the
Medi-Therm II machine, check the water level prior
to connecting the additional blanket (see Start-up
Procedure, pp. 6-7).

Start-up Procedure
5.4 Open All Pinch Clamps
Open all pinch clamps on the connector hose and the
Hyper/Hypothermia blanket.
Failure to open the pinch clamps will prevent water flow
and will trigger the CHECK FLOW alert.

Insert the power cord plug into a properly grounded AC
receptacle. Press the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
When first turned on, the Medi-Therm II enters its
standby mode:
• the ON/OFF switch will light;
• the machine will beep once;
• the BLANKET, PATIENT, and SET POINT
temperature displays will show dashes;
• the SELECT MODE heading will flash.
