WARNING:
For effective heating, ensure that the warmer module is centered above the patient. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
The radiant warmer cannot sense the correct temperature of the patient when the skin probe is
disconnected from the patient skin. Overheating of the patient could occur. Check the patient
condition every 15 min for correct probe attachment and for signs of overheating. Failure to do
so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Disposable probes are for single-patient use and must be disposed of after use. Failure to do so
could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
To prevent false temperature indications, place the skin probe at least 3.8 cm (1½") from any
transcutaneous monitor (TcPO
cover. Do not place the skin probe on an area previously used by a TcPO
Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
To avoid overheating the infant skin, position the skin probe so the skin around the probe is in
direct line with the radiation from the warmer. Remove anything, such as blankets, clothing, or
equipment that interfere with the radiation from the warmer, from between the radiant warmer
and the infant. Failure to do so could result in patient injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Sunlight and some accessories, such as phototherapy or heated mattresses, can increase
patient temperature to dangerous levels. Monitor the temperature of the patient. Failure to do so
could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
The warmer is intended for use with infants in the cart and bassinet. If the warmer is used to
warm the infant held by the mother immediately after delivery, follow all warnings and
instructions, with a particular regard to heater-to-mattress distance and skin probe location.
Avoid placing objects near the mother that can absorb heat and become hot to the touch. Injury
to the mother could occur.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of fire or overheating the warmer, never place objects, such as blankets, clothing,
diapers, or sterile packs, on top of the warmer. These objects can interfere with the proper
cooling of the warmer head and can fall onto the mattress. Patient injury or equipment damage
could occur.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of fire or overheating the warmer, never block the vents on top of the warmer.
Patient injury or equipment damage could occur.
