PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 8 Jan 04
WARNING:
Do not place objects between the infant and the warmer module that block heat transfer and
absorb heat. The heater will heat the objects instead of the patient. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
Air currents across the bassinet area affect patient thermal balance. Avoid placing the warmer
near heating or air conditioning ducts that blow air across the bassinet. Patient injury could
occur.
WARNING:
Radiant warming increases insensible water loss. Consider appropriate measures to maintain
proper infant fluid balance. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
The warmer cannot differentiate between an increase in the core temperature and cold skin
(fever) and low core temperature (hypothermia). Monitor the patient core temperature with a
separate calibrated thermometer. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
The use of equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment
may lead to a reduced level of unit safety. Patient injury or equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
Do not remove the back cover; a high-pressure source is inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
The heater assembly may be hot enough to cause burns. Before cleaning or touching the
warmer head, allow 30 min for the unit to cool sufficiently after removing power from the unit.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use warmer near other sources of radiant heat, such as windows, to avoid overheating
or underheating the patient. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
When lowering the upper post of the variable height warmer to its minimum height, ensure that
the gas cylinders, if installed, are secured and do not touch the floor. Personal injury or
equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
For optimum stability, always lower the Variable Height Resuscitaire Radiant Warmer to its
lowest position before transport. Ensure that items placed on the shelves are properly secured.
Failure to do so could result in patient injury, personal injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING:
When rotating the warmer head, push the unit by touching only the plastic housing. Do not
touch the heater guard or heater reflector. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
