• Do not use the control unit when it appears the unit or system components
are damaged. Contact your local 3M technical support representative.
• Do not service or modify the power supply, control unit, cables, sensor,
or any part of the temperature monitoring system. There are no user
serviceable parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with fire:
• The temperature monitoring system is not suitable for use in the
presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air nitrous oxide.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with pressure, and crushed
or entangled cords and connectors:
• Do not allow the patient to lie on any sensor cable or connector.
• Always position cables and cords away from the patient's body.
• Do not use a headband or other device to secure the sensor to the patient.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with incorrect system or
sensor use:
• Limit use of the sensor to 24 hours. Extended use may compromise
skin, cause degradation of material or performance.
• Avoid exposing the temperature monitoring sensor, sensor cable,
power supply, and control unit to surgical skin surface preparation
solutions or other fluids.
• Use an additional independent thermometer to measure body
temperature during intentional hyperthermia or hypothermia therapy.
• Confirm unanticipated temperature reading with an independent
thermometer, if needed.
• Do not reposition the sensor; repositioning may weaken the sensor
adhesive, damage the sensor, or compromise the device performance.
• Avoid placing the sensor in the center of the forehead as this may
affect sensor accuracy.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with exposure to biohazards:
• Follow facilities policies and procedures for disposal of contaminated
materials.
• Always perform the decontamination procedure prior to returning the
temperature monitoring system for service and prior to disposal.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with entanglement:
• Do not leave pediatric patients unattended while using the temperature
monitoring system.
CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with skin maceration:
• Do not use the sensor on damaged or compromised skin.
CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with cross-contamination:
• Clean the sensor cable before connecting to a new sensor.
CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with impact and facility
medical device damage:
• Do not use the control unit as a handle to transport or to move the
device to which it is attached.
• Do not initiate temperature monitoring unless the control unit is safely
placed on a hard, flat surface or is securely mounted.
