WARNINGS
1. To reduce the risks associated with access to critical patient information or equipment:
• e SpotOn control unit is to be attached to other equipment by authorized service
personnel only.
• Do not re-install or re-locate the SpotOn control unit.
2. To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage, re, and thermal energy hazards:
• Use ONLY with 3M SpotOn system components (sensors, cables, and power supply). Do
not substitute other devices for the SpotOn control unit, sensor, cables, or power supply.
• Do not use the SpotOn temperature monitoring system (sensor, control unit, cables, or
cords) in an MRI environment.
3. To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and re:
• Keep power supply visible and accessible at all times. e plug on the power supply serves
as the disconnect device. e power outlet shall be as close as practical and shall be easily
accessible.
• Use only the power supply specied for this product and certied for the country of use.
• Use only a properly grounded power outlet; do not use extension cords or multiple portable
socket outlets.
• Do not allow the power supply to get wet.
• Do not use the SpotOn control unit when it appears the unit or system components are
damaged. Contact 3M Patient Warming technical support at 1-800-733-7775 or 952-947-
1200.
• Do not service or modify the power supply, control unit, cables, sensor, or any part of the
3M SpotOn system. ere are no user serviceable parts.
4. To reduce the risks associated with re:
• is system is not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with
air nitrous oxide.
5. To reduce the risks associate with pressure, and crushed or entangled cords and connectors:
• Do not allow the patient to lie on any SpotOn sensor cable or connector.
• Always position cables and cords away from the patient’s body.
• Do not use a headband or other device to secure the SpotOn sensor to the patient.
6. To reduce the risks associated with incorrect system or sensor use:
• Limit use of the SpotOn temperature sensor to 24 hours. Extended use may compromise
skin, cause degradation of material or performance.
• Avoid exposing the SpotOn temperature sensor, sensor cable, power supply, and control
unit to surgical skin surface preparation solutions or other uids.
• Use an additional independent thermometer to measure body temperature during
intentional hyperthermia or hypothermia therapy.
• Conrm unanticipated temperature reading with an independent thermometer, if needed.
• Do not reposition the SpotOn temperature sensor; repositioning may weaken the sensor
adhesive, damage the sensor, or compromise the device performance.
• Avoid placing the sensor in the center of the forehead as this may aect sensor accuracy.
7. To reduce the risks associated with exposure to biohazards:
• Follow facilities policies and procedures for disposal of contaminated materials.
• Always perform the decontamination procedure prior to returning the SpotOn
temperature monitoring system for service and prior to disposal.
8. To reduce the risks associated with entanglement:
• Do not leave pediatric patients unattended while using the SpotOn temperature
monitoring system.
