visible at the bottom of the strainer. No alcohol is required. Check the water level each
time before the unit is started. If the heat exchanger(s) and/or blanket is empty, add
distilled water to the reservoirs as the HEMOTHERM unit fills the blanket. Each adult
blanket holds approximately 2 qts. (1.9 liters) of water. To ensure optimum circulation
and prevent bacterial growth, the water in the reservoir should be changed at least once
every month, more often if possible.
To empty the reservoirs, first make sure the power switch is in the OFF/"O” position.
Then, attach the 1/4" female coupling of the drain tube over either of the 1/4" male fittings
marked "DRAIN" on the side of the unit. Allow gravity to drain the water from the one
reservoir and then repeat for the other one. Be sure the other end of the drain tube drains
into a container with a capacity of at least two gallons (7.6 liters). The pump will not run if
the water level in the operation mode is not at the proper level. The low water light will
come on and the alarm will sound.
NOTE: Unit is inoperable when reservoirs are completely dry.
Remove the reservoir covers by lifting the cover at the strainer handle. Clean any residue
from the bottom and sides of the empty reservoir. Refill the reservoir with distilled water.
The capacity of the reservoirs is - 6 qts (5.7 liters) for the heat reservoir and 8 qts. (7.6
liters) for the cool reservoir. Under all circumstances, the reservoirs should be filled
before starting the HEMOTHERM unit. Replace the reservoir covers by pushing cover
down on proper reservoir. It is not necessary to drain the reservoirs after each use.
If you desire to add an antibacterial agent to the reservoirs, refer to Section 2.5
SUGGESTIONS FOR PROTECTING THE RESERVOIR FROM BACTERIA.
3.5 MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The HEMOTHERM water circulating system includes the pump, heat reservoir, cool
reservoir, fittings, and all interconnecting tubing. To clean the circulating system, refer to
Section 2.4 WATER SYSTEM CLEANING PROCEDURE.
3.6 MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER FILTER
The HEMOTHERM circulating system includes a water filter designed to clear the line of
particulate matter as the water is pumped through the system. The water filter assembly
is a plastic T-shaped fitting that intersects the hose from the pump to the outlet manifold.
A stainless steel wire-mesh screen is located inside the clear plastic cap of the water filter
assembly.
Once every three months, or more often if deemed necessary, the water filter should be
disassembled and cleaned. To do so, the rear enclosure panel must be removed. The
cap of the water filter assembly should then be unscrewed. The wire mesh and the
plastic cap should then be cleaned. The parts are then to be reassembled.
