The Bair Hugger brand Total Temperature Management
System consists of a Bair Hugger forced-air warming unit and
Bair Hugger disposable components, including forced-air
blankets and the 241* blood/fluid warming set. The system is

and warms the air to the specified temperature. It then delivers
the warmed air through a hose to the Bair Hugger blanket.

warming unit, and includes maintenance instructions and
specifications. For information about using Bair Hugger
blankets or the 241 blood/fluid warming set with Bair Hugger
units, refer to the "Instructions for Use" included with each of
these disposable components.
