blood/fluid warming set. You can use the Model 505 temperature management
unit in all clinical settings including the operating room to provide patient temperature
management.
The Bair Hugger warming unit is attached to the blanket or gown by means of a flexible hose. Warm
air is generated in the unit and flows through the hose and into the blanket or gown. Depending on the
model, the blanket or gown is placed either around, over, or underneath the patient. Small perforations
on the blanket or gown allow the warm air to be dispersed over the patient. For fluid warming
applications, the Model 241 blood/fluid warming set is inserted in the warming unit hose. When the
unit is turned ON and a temperature setting is selected, warm air flows over the Model 241 tubing
and warmed fluid exits from the distal end of the tubing. For additional information on Bair Hugger
blankets, Bair Paws gowns, the 241 warming set, or other accessories visit us online at bairhugger.com
or bairpaws.com.
This manual includes operating instructions and unit specifications for the Model 505 forced-
air temperature management unit. For information about using Bair Hugger blankets, Bair Paws
gowns, or the 241 blood/fluid warming set with Bair Hugger units, refer to the “Instructions for
Use” included with each of these disposable components. The Bair Hugger system should only be
used by trained medical professionals.
