Mounting the Model 505 Temperature Management Unit
The Model 505 unit clamps easily to an IV pole (see Figure E). Simply turn the handle clockwise to
tighten the clamp onto an IV pole, counterclockwise to release.
Warning: To prevent tipping, clamp the Model 505 temperature management unit to an IV pole at
a height that provides stability. We recommend clamping the unit no higher than 44 in. (112 cm)
from the floor on an IV pole with a minimum 28 in. (71 cm) diameter wheelbase. Failure to do so
may result in IV pole tipping, catheter site trauma, and patient injury.
The Model 505 unit can also hang on the edge of a bed. The safety strap is designed to loop
around the bedrail, keeping the Model 505 unit safely suspended even if the unit is inadvertently
dislodged from the bedrail (see Figure F).
