Use a damp soft cloth and a hospital approved mild detergent, germicidal disposable wipes, disinfecting
towelettes, or antimicrobial spray. The following active ingredients are acceptable for cleaning:
o
Oxidizers (e.g. 10% Bleach)
o
Quaternary Ammonium compounds (e.g. 3M™ Quat Disinfectant Cleaner)
o
Phenolics (e.g. 3M™ Phenolic Disinfectant Cleaner)
o
Alcohols (e.g. 70% Isopropyl Alcohol)
o

Section 2: Overview and Operation
The 3M™ Bair Hugger™ temperature monitoring system measures the core temperature of the patient. The
system is comprised of a sensor, which connects to the control unit through the sensor cable, a power supply, and
an optional monitor cable. For additional sensors, sensor cable, power supply, control unit stand, monitor cable,
hook-and-loop, or foam adhesive, contact 3M.

Operating Principle

The 3M Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system uses zero-heat-flux thermometry to accurately measure
a person's core temperature as characterized in Figure 2-2. 1) The 3M Bair Hugger temperature monitoring
system gently warms the sensor creating an isothermal zone under the sensor. 2) Once equilibrated to the core
temperature, skin-surface heat loss to the environment is prevented and a zero-heat-flux condition is established.
3) When the temperature sensor reaches equilibrium with the patient's core temperature, the control unit displays
an accurate, noninvasive measurement of the patient's core temperature.
