Bair Hugger Model 505 Service Manual
The Bair Hugger brand Total Temperature Management
system consists of a Bair Hugger forced-air warming unit and
disposable components, including Bair Hugger forced-air
blankets and the 241* blood/fluid warming set, and Bair
Paws* patient warming gowns. The system and disposables are
intended for use in clinical settings including the operating
room. The warming unit draws ambient air through a filter and
warms the air to the specified temperature. It then delivers the
warmed air through a hose to the blanket or gown.
This manual describes how to service the Model 505 warming
unit, and includes maintenance instructions and specifications.
For information about using Bair Hugger blankets, the 241
blood/fluid warming set, or Bair Paws gowns with Bair Hugger
units, refer to the "Instructions for Use" included with each of
these disposable components.
The Bair Hugger Temperature Management system is intended
to prevent and treat hypothermia. In addition, the temperature
management system can be used to provide patient thermal
comfort when conditions exist that may cause patients to
become too warm or too cold. The temperature management
system can be used with adult and pediatric patients.
Do not apply heat to lower extremities during aortic
cross-clamping. Thermal injury may occur if heat is applied to
ischemic limbs.
