CAUTIONS
1. Except for specific blanket models, Bair Hugger blankets are not sterile and are all intended
for single patient use ONLY. Placing a sheet between the Bair Hugger blanket and the patient
does not prevent contamination of this product.
2. Monitor the temperature and cutaneous response of patients who are incapable of reacting,
communicating and/or who are without a sense of feeling every 10-20 minutes or according
to institutional protocol. Monitor the patient’s vital signs regularly. Adjust air temperature
or discontinue therapy when the therapeutic goal is reached or if vital sign instability occurs.
Notify physician of vital sign instability immediately.
3. Do not leave pediatric patients unattended during therapy.
4. Do not initiate temperature management therapy unless the temperature management unit
is free from mechanical damage and is safely placed on a hard surface or securely mounted.
Otherwise, injury may result.
5. To prevent tipping, clamp the Model 775 temperature management unit to an IV pole at a
height that provides stability. We recommend clamping the unit no higher than 44” (112 cm)
on an IV pole with a minimum 28” (71 cm) diameter wheelbase. Failure to do so may result in
IV pole tipping, catheter site trauma, and patient injury.
6. Electrical shock hazard. Do not disassemble the temperature management unit unless you
are a qualified service technician. There are electrically live parts within the unit when it is
connected to a power source, even when the unit is in Standby mode.
7. To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination follow applicable
regulations when disposing of this device or any of its electronic components.
