Warnings

2
1. Do not leave patients with poor perfusion unmonitored
during prolonged warming therapy sessions. Thermal injury
may result.
2. The Bair Hugger temperature management unit has been
designed to operate safely ONLY with Arizant Healthcare*
disposable components. Use with other products may cause
thermal injury. (To the full extent permitted by law, the
manufacturer and/or importer declines all responsibility
for thermal injury resulting from the unit being used in
conjunction with non-Arizant Healthcare products.)
3. Do not warm patients with the temperature management
unit hose alone. Thermal injury may result. Always connect
the hose to a Bair Hugger blanket or Bair Paws gown before
providing therapy.
4. Do not place the non-perforated side of the blanket on
the patient. Thermal injury may result. Always place the
perforated side (that is, with small holes) towards the patient.
5. Do not continue temperature management therapy if the
over-temp indicator light illuminates and the alarm sounds.
Thermal injury may result. Unplug the unit, and contact a
qualified service technician.
6. Do not continue 241 blood/fluid warming therapy if the
over-temp indicator light illuminates and the alarm sounds.
Immediately stop fluid flow, and discard the blood/fluid
warming set. Unplug the temperature management unit, and
contact a qualified service technician.
7. Do not use a forced-air warming device over transdermal
medication. Increased drug delivery and patient injury or
death may occur.
8. Do not allow the patient to lie on the warming unit hose or
allow the hose to directly contact the patient's skin during
patient warming; thermal injury may result.
9. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
10. Resuable blankets made from woven fabric, or blankets
without discrete, visible holes, can cause the safety system of
this unit to fail, which may result in serious thermal injury.
This warming unit has been designed to operate safety
ONLY with Bair Hugger blankets and Bair Paws gowns.
