Set up and Operation
The Bair Hugger brand Total Temperature Management system is easy to set up and to use.
Follow the instructions provided with each Bair Hugger blanket or Bair Paws gown for specific
information.
1. Place the blanket or gown on the patient with the perforated side (the side with small holes)
against the patient’s skin.
2. Insert the hose of the temperature management
unit in the hose port on the blanket or gown. Use a
twisting motion to ensure a snug fit (see Figure A).
3. Connect the unit to a properly grounded power
source.
4. Press the System ON/STANDBY button to turn
the unit ON and select the appropriate temperature
setting.
5. You may place a cotton blanket over the blanket or
gown for maximum effectiveness.
6. 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.
