Description

3.0 Description
The MTA6012CE provides a means of regulating patient
temperature by supplying temperature-controlled
water through a connector hose to a hyperthermia/
hypothermia blanket. The blanket provides an interface
for heating and cooling the patient. The machine controls
the blanket temperature to a prescribed set point.
CAUTION
!
To ensure safe operation of the Medi-Therm
machine, use only with Gaymar CE-labelled
accessories. See page 16 for a complete list.
The feedback for control purposes depends upon the
machine's operating mode. The machine may be operated
in one of three operating modes:
In BLANKET CONTROL mode, the operator sets the
desired blanket temperature. A temperature sensor
within the machine monitors the water temperature
and the machine heats or cools the water as required
to bring the blanket to the SET POINT temperature.
The patient temperature may be monitored by use of a
patient probe connected to the patient probe jack on the
front of the unit.
In PATIENT CONTROL mode, the Medi-Therm II machine
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 blanket temperature so that the
desired patient temperature is achieved.
In MONITOR ONLY mode, the operator can monitor
patient temperature through the patient probe, without
providing therapy.
Hyperthermia/hypothermia blankets may be placed either
under or over the patient, depending upon the type of
procedure. Some applications may require a second
blanket in order to achieve additional or more rapid
heating or cooling. For these situations, a second blanket
may be connected to the Medi-Therm II machine. The
rate of patient heating or cooling may also be increased
by positioning half- and full-sized blankets so that greater
body surface is in contact with the blankets.
In the event of a power loss, a battery backup circuit will
light the POWER LOSS light and sound the audible alarm.
Upon restoring power, the mode of operation and the set
points will have to be reselected.
