Important

The Thermacare TC3249 Convective
Warming Unit is compatible with model
TC1050, TC1050N, TC2050, TC2050N,
TC2052, TC2052N, TC2054, TC2054N,
TC2060 and TC2061 Warming Quilts.
The Thermacare Convective Warming System
(figure 1, page 4) provides a continuous means
of warming patients to help prevent and/or
treat hypothermia. The system consists of a
Convective Warming Unit (Power Unit) and a
disposable Quilt. A connecting hose conducts
heated air from the Power Unit to the Quilt.
Read and understand the Operator's Manual
and all precautions prior to using the TC3249

Convective Warming System.

We suggest that a biomedical engineer
perform the FUNCTIONAL CHECK AND SAFETY
INSPECTION regularly to assure the TC3249
Power Unit works properly (refer to TC3249
Service Manual).
Review the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in section
1.0 (pp. 2-3) prior to each application.

Receiving Inspection

Upon receipt, unpack the Power Unit. Save
all packing material. Perform a visual and
mechanical inspection for concealed damage. If
any damage is found, notify the carrier at once
and ask for a written inspection. Photograph
any damage and prepare a written record.
Failure to do so within 15 days may result in
loss of claim.
Contact your local dealer for assistance.
NOTE: Extremely high storage temperatures
(such as those found in rail cars or automobile
trunks on hot summer days) can cause the
overtemp thermostats within this device to
actuate. Should this occur, the REMOVE FROM
USE indicator will light when the Power Unit
is turned on. If this happens, the thermostats
must be manually reset by qualified personnel
such as certified biomedical electronics
technicians or certified clinical engineers
according to the TC3249 Service Manual
instructions.
