Contraindication; Warning; Caution - 3M Bair Hugger 775 Bedienungsanleitung

!
CONTRAINDICATION: To reduce the risk of thermal injury:
• Do not apply heat to lower extremities during aortic
cross-clamping. Thermal injury may occur if heat is applied
to ischemic limbs.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of thermal injury:
• The Bair Hugger Model 775 warming unit has been
designed to operate safely ONLY with 3M disposable
warming products. Use with other products may cause
thermal injury. To the full extent permitted by law, the
manufacturer and/or importer declines all responsibility for
thermal injury resulting from the warming unit being used in
conjunction with non-3M products.
• Do not treat patients with the warming unit hose
alone. Always attach the hose to a 3M warming
blanket/gown before providing warming therapy.
• Do not allow the patient to lie on the warming unit hose.
• Do not allow the warming hose to directly contact the
patient's skin during warming therapy.
• Do not leave neonates, infants, children and other
vulnerable patient populations unattended during
warming therapy.
• Do not leave patients with poor perfusion unmonitored
during prolonged warming therapy.
• Do not place the non-perforated side of the warming
blanket/gown on the patient. Always place the perforated
side (with the small holes) directly on top of the patient in
contact with the patient's skin.
• Do not connect a torn or damaged warming blanket/gown
to the warming unit.
• For over-body warming blankets and gowns; do not place
patient securement device (i.e. safety strap or tape) over
the warming blanket/gown.
• For underbody or side channel warming blankets; if a
securement device (i.e. safety strap, tape) is used, ensure
the warming channels are not occluded.
• Do not place the warming blanket/gown directly over a
dispersive electrode pad.
• Do not continue warming therapy if the red Over-temp
indicator light illuminates and the alarm sounds. Unplug the
warming unit and contact a qualified service technician.
• Do not continue 241 blood/fluid warming therapy if the
red Over-temp indicator light illuminates and the alarm
sounds. Immediately stop fluid flow, and discard the blood/
fluid warming set. Unplug the warming unit, and contact a
qualified service technician.
• For the Bair Hugger flex warming gown; ensure that the
blood pressure cuff, ECG, IV or other lines or cords are
not between the upper sleeve insert and the gown prior to
deploying the upper sleeve warming insert(s), as this could
result in tearing of the insert during deployment.
• Do not perform the over-temperature detection system test
while the warming unit is being used for warming therapy.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of patient injury or death due to
altered drug delivery:
• Do not use a warming blanket/gown over transdermal
medication patches.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury due to interference
with ventilation:
Do not allow the warming blanket/gown or head drape to
cover the patient's head or airway when the patient is not
mechanically ventilated.

!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury due to patient falls:
• Do not use a warming blanket/gown to transfer or move
the patient.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with hazardous
voltage and fire:
• Keep power cord visible and accessible at all times. The
plug on the power cord serves as the disconnect device.
• Only connect to outlets marked "Hospital only," "Hospital
Grade," or a reliable grounded outlet.
• Use only the power cord specified for this product and
certified for the country of use.
• Do not allow the power cord to get wet.
• 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" on
page 8.
• 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.
