Turn the power switch ON. The heater will heat to maintain 37
O
C. The pump will pulse to recirculate the water and the
display will indicate the temperature.
INSTALLATION CHECK LIST.
1. Make sure that the electrical outlet is properly wired. It must be grounded and the polarity must be correct.
2. Make sure that you use water from the tap or if you use de-ionized water, add a pinch of salt.
3. Make sure that the rocking motion is balanced. Start a thawing cycle (see OPERATION) watch the air bubble above
the water flowing back and forth inside the BLADDERS. The air bubbles should flow forward and backward evenly as
the BATH rocks. If not place a shim under the front or back of the ARMS so that the flow is balanced.
OPERATION
Wait for the water to heat up to 37.0

Open the LID. Lift up the top layer of the bladder with one
hand and lay the plasma bag(s) to be thawed on the bottom
part of the BLADDER. Cover the plasma bag(s) with the top
layer of the BLADDER. Tuck the bladder in.
Close the LID by lifting straight up until it stops and then
rotating it down (forward). Lock it into place by pushing the
LOCK BAR to the right.
Push START to begin thawing for the programmed time. The
Rocking Motor will turn on and the BATH will rock front to back, the tempered water will be pumped through the
bladder and the thawing time will be displayed. Use PLUS or MINUS to increase or decrease the thawing time. When the
timer counts down, the buzzer will call the operator back.
Timing out, or pushing STOP ends the thawing and rocking.
If more thawing time is needed, hold PLUS while pushing START and the unit will thaw for another 3 minutes.
STOP ends the thawing and drains the bladders.
If more thawing time is needed, hold PLUS while pushing START and the unit will thaw for another 3 minutes.
Thawing time is mainly a factor of thickness of the plasma in the bag. Flat-frozen plasma thaws quicker than folded-
frozen plasma, which is thicker.
