3M Bair Hugger 775 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 5

• Do not use the warming unit when it appears the warming
unit, power cord or any component is damaged. Replace
the warming unit. Contact 3M Technical Support.
• Do not disassemble the warming unit unless you are a
qualified service technician. There are electrically live
parts within the warming unit when it is connected to a
power source.
• Connect each warming unit being tested to a separate
power source.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of cross-contamination:
• Except for specific Bair Hugger warming blanket models,
3M warming blankets/gowns are not sterile. Each warming
blanket/gown is intended for single patient use ONLY.
Placing a sheet between the warming blanket/gown and
the patient does not prevent contamination of the product.
• Clean the warming unit and the outside of the warming unit
hose after each patient use. See "Cleaning Instructions"
section.
• Follow applicable regulations when disposing of this
warming unit or any of its electrical components.
• Do not attempt to clean the air filter as it may be
contaminated from use. Discard the filter in a manner
consistent with institutional protocol.
• Do not operate the Bair Hugger warming unit with the hose
detached from the 3M warming blanket/gown. The Bair
Hugger warming unit is intended to be used with the hose
properly attached to its corresponding warming blanket/
gown and in accordance with good practices for operating
room sterile technique.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of patient or caregiver injury:
• If mounted on an IV pole, the distance from the bottom of
the warming unit to the floor must be less than 44" (112 cm)
and the IV pole wheelbase diameter must be at least 28" (71
cm) to prevent tipping.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire:
• 3M warming blankets and gowns are classified as Class I
Normal Flammability as defined by the Consumer Product
Safety Commissions flammable fabric regulation, 16 CFR
1610. Follow standard safety protocols when using high
intensity heat sources.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of thermal injury, hyperthermia or
hypothermia:
• 3M recommends continuously monitoring core
temperature. In the absence of continuous monitoring,
monitor the temperature of patients who are incapable
of reacting, communicating and/or who cannot sense
temperature a minimum of every 15 minutes or according to
institutional protocol.
• Monitor cutaneous responses of patients who are incapable
of reacting, communicating and/or who cannot sense
temperature a minimum of every 15 minutes or according to
institutional protocol.
• Adjust air temperature or discontinue therapy when the
therapeutic goal is reached, if elevated temperatures are
recorded or if there is an adverse cutaneous response in the
warmed area.
• Do not place the warming unit on a soft uneven surface,
such as a bed, or a visibly wet surface as the air intake may
become blocked and cause the warming unit to overheat,
compromising the warming unit's performance.
• Perform all temperature testing of the warming unit with a
3M Model 22110 temperature test unit. The model 22110
temperature test unit itself requires no calibration.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with electromagnetic
interference (EMI) due to portable and mobile radio frequency (RF)
communications equipment:
• The 3M Bair Hugger temperature management system has
been tested to be resistant to both EMI and electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Install and put into service the 3M Bair
Hugger temperature management system according to the
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information provided
in the Guidance and Manufacturer's Declaration.
• Should interference occur, move away from the portable or
mobile RF communications equipment.
Notices
1. The Bair Hugger warming unit meets medical electronic
interference requirements. If radio frequency interference with
other equipment should occur, connect the warming unit to a
different power source.
2. To avoid warming unit damage:
• Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures when
performing maintenance.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization from
the manufacturer.
• Do not immerse the warming unit, warming unit parts or
accessories in any liquid or subject them to any sterilization
process.
• Do not use cleaning solutions with greater than 80%
alcohol or solvents, including acetone and thinner, to clean
the warming unit or hose. Solvents may damage the labels
and other plastic parts.
Proper Use and Maintenance
3M assumes no responsibility for the reliability, performance, or
safety of the warming unit if the following events occur:
• Modifications or repairs are performed by unqualified
personnel.
• The warming unit is used in a manner other than that
described in the Operator's Preventive Maintenance
Manual.
• The warming unit is installed in an environment that
does not meet the appropriate electrical and grounding
requirements.
The warming unit not maintained in accordance with the procedures
described in the Preventive Maintenance Manual.
Read Before Servicing Equipment
All repair, calibration and servicing of the warming unit require the
skill of a qualified, medical equipment service technician who is
familiar with good practice for medical device repair. If service does
not require the manufacturer's attention, the Model 775 Preventive
Maintenance Manual provides the technical information needed
to service the warming unit. Perform all repairs and maintenance
in accordance with the instructions in the Preventive Maintenance
Manual. For additional service information please contact 3M.
