The Bair Hugger brand Total Temperature Management system consists of a
Model 750 forced-air temperature management unit (with available rolling stand
and sheet clip) and Bair Hugger disposable components, including forced-air
blankets and the 241* blood/fluid warming set. You can use the Model 750
temperature management unit in all clinical settings including the operating room to
provide patient temperature management.
This manual includes operating instructions and unit specifications for the Model
750 temperature management unit. For information about using Bair Hugger
blankets or the 241 blood/fluid warming set with the Model 750 temperature
management unit, refer to the "Instructions for Use" included with each of these
disposable components.

Indications for Use

The Bair Hugger Model 750 Total Temperature Management system is intended to
prevent and treat hypothermia and to provide warmth to cold or shivering patients.
In addition, this system should be used whenever conditions exist that could cause
patients to become cold.

Contraindication

Do not apply heat to lower extremities during aortic cross-clamping. Thermal injury
may occur if heat is applied to ischemic limbs.

Warnings

• Do not warm patients with the temperature management unit's hose alone.
Thermal injury may result. Always connect the hose to a Bair Hugger blanket
before providing skin-surface warming therapy.
• Do not use a forced-air warming device over transdermal medication; increased
drug delivery and patient injury or death may occur.
• Do not provide warming therapy when an intra-aortic balloon pump is in use;
thermal injury may occur if heat is applied to ischemic limbs.
• Use only Bair Hugger disposable components with the Model 750 temperature
management unit. This temperature management unit has been designed to
operate safely with Bair Hugger disposable components. Use with non-Bair
Hugger 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 unit being used in conjunction with non-Bair Hugger products.
