Important Information about the Bair Paws Model 850 Warming Unit Indications/Intended Use The Model 850 warming unit is indicated for patient warming. This warming unit has been designed for use with the Bair Paws warming gowns in all preoperative and postoperative settings. Contraindication Do not apply heat to lower extremities during aortic cross-clamping.
Precautions • Do not initiate patient warming unless the Model 850 warming unit is safely placed on a hard surface or securely mounted. Otherwise, injury may result. • The Model 850 warming unit meets the international electronic interference requirements of EN 60601-1-2 and EN 55011.
Preparing the Bair Paws Model 850 Warming Unit for Use Before using the warming unit, make sure that it is safely placed on a flat, hard surface such as a table, or securely mounted on a wall, IV pole, or bedrail.
Mounting the Warming Unit to the Wall-mount Slide the V-shaped bracket on the back of the warming unit into the groove of the wall-mount bracket. Tighten the 2 setscrews located on either side of the wall-mount bracket using a three-inch-long (or longer) small Phillips screwdriver to lock the unit in place (see Figure 2).
Mounting the Warming Unit on an IV Pole To prevent tipping, mount the Model 850 warming unit on an IV pole at a height that aution ensures stability. We recommend mounting the warming unit no higher than 44 in. (112 cm) from the floor on an IV pole with a minimum wheelbase radius of 14 in.
Mounting the Warming Unit on a Bedrail Note: The wall-mount bracket is shipped attached to the rail-mount. Slide the V-shaped bracket on the back of the warming unit into the groove of the rail-mount bracket. Tighten the setscrews (see Figure 2). Hang the rail-mount on the bedrail.
Hook the warming unit with the attached rail-mount to the rail-to-wall bracket as depicted in Figure 5. For use only with the Model 850 warming unit. reCaution A minimum of two wall anchors must be used to secure the rail-to-wall bracket to the wall.
Using the Temperature Controller Holder The controller holder helps to prevent cord clutter around the patient or accidental damage to the controller. Press the holder onto the warming unit hose so it is within the patient’s reach (see Figure 6). Slide the temperature controller into the holder.
Arizant Healthcare Inc. assumes no responsibility for the reliability, safety, or performance of the Model 850 warming unit if calibration tests or adjustments are made in any manner other than those described here. Improper measurement or adjustment of the normal operating temperature for the Model 850 unit could result in patient exposure to temperatures outside of the indicated range and may lead to patient injury.
Method Turn the warming unit “ON” and set the controller to its maximum (warmest) setting. Press the clip buttons on the hose end and insert the hose end into the temperature test kit. Allow the system to warm 10 minutes before starting the calibration. Extend the hose straight to its full length.
Pressing the OT test button places the heater in a full-on, unregulated condition; therefore, the unit may become slightly warm to the touch. Bair Paws Model 850 Warming Unit Service Manual ®...
Replacing the Temperature Controller and/or Hose Tools/Equipment Needed • Medium Phillips screwdriver • Needle-nose pliers Method Disconnect the warming unit from the power source. Remove the two screws that attach the case bottom (dark purple) to the warming unit. Slide the case bottom down the hose to expose the hose connection point. Remove the two screws that fasten the hose to the warming unit: 1 on front and 1 on the back of the warming unit.
