  • Page 8: Instructions For Use

    User Manual: HotDog Veterinary Controller Page 8 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS USE UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF A CLINICIAN. 1. Select the Warming Blanket size that is the best fit for your patient, covering as much of your patient as possible. 2. Position the Blanket under, over, or around the patient as desired, with the black side facing the patient.
  • Page 9: Pressure Reduction

    The Warming Blanket is not a pressure-reduction device. Steps must be taken to mitigate heat-on-pressure situations when the Blanket is under the patient on hard surfaces, surgery tables, or dental grates. Use a pressure-reduction device (such as the HotDog Pressure Reduction Pad) between the Blanket and the hard surface.
  • Page 10: Frequently Asked Questions

    Blankets do not contain carbon fiber or ink, which could break and create hot spots. 2. Why is HotDog warming safe? HotDog’s Controller is really a microprocessor with many built-in safety features. It monitors connected warming devices at the patient and will automatically stop operation if readings are outside of safe parameters.
  • Page 11: Error Codes: Alerts And Alarms

    Use a pressure-reduction device (such as the HotDog Pressure Reduction Pad) between the Blanket and the hard surface to eliminate pressure points from occurring, especially at bony prominences.
