Notice - 3M Bair Hugger 875 Manuel De L'utilisateur

WARNING: To reduce the risk of patient injury or death due to
altered drug delivery:
• Do not use a warming gown over transdermal medication
patches.
WARNING. To reduce the risk of injury due to interference with
ventilation:
• Do not allow the warming gown or head drape to cover the
patient's head or airway when patient is not mechanically
ventilated.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of strangulation:
• Do not leave children and other vulnerable patient populations
unattended while using a Bair Hugger patient adjustable
warming unit.
• Do not allow children and other vulnerable patients to handle
the handheld temperature controller without supervision to
prevent controller's electrical cord from becoming entangled
around the patient.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage
and fire:
• Do not disassemble the patient adjustable warming unit unless
you are a qualified service technician. There are electrically
live parts within the patient adjustable warming unit when
it is connected to a power source, even when the handheld
controller is in the OFF position.
• 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 patient adjustable warming unit when it appears
the patient adjustable warming unit, power cord or any
component is damaged. Contact 3M Technical Support.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hypothermia and ensure optimal
heat transfer:
• Always extend the warming gown insert to its full length when
connected to a warming unit.
• Do not tape, roll, gather, bunch, or compress the inflated air-
channel insert of the gown as these actions can occlude airflow
and reduce warming of the patient.
• Do not cover gown with more than one sheet.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of cross-contamination:
• This warming gown is not sterile and is intended for single
patient use ONLY. Placing a sheet between the warming gown
and the patient does not prevent contamination of the product.
• Clean the patient adjustable warming unit, handheld controller,
and the outside of the warming unit hose after each patient use.
See "Cleaning Instructions" section in this manual.
• 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.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of patient or caregiver injury:
• Do not use the Bair Hugger pediatric warming gown unless the
patient is over 102 cm (40 inches) tall.
• If mounted on an IV pole, the distance from the bottom of the
patient adjustable warming unit to the floor must be less than
4
44" (112 cm) and the IV pole wheelbase diameter must be at
least 28" (71 cm) to prevent tipping.
• When using the suction wall mount adapter, only hold the front
of the adapter when increasing/decreasing the expander to
prevent pinching fingers.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire:
• This product is classified as Class I Normal Flammability
as defined by the Consumer product Safety Commission's
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.
• Monitor cutaneous responses 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.
• Adjust air temperature or discontinue warming therapy when
the therapeutic goal is reached, if elevated temperatures are
recorded or if there is an adverse cutaneous response in the
warmed area.
• Do not place the patient adjustable warming unit on a soft
uneven surface, such as a bed, or a visibly wet surface as the air
intake may become blocked and cause the patient adjustable
warming unit to overheat, compromising the patient adjustable
warming unit's performance.
• Perform all calibrations of the patient adjustable warming unit
using a Model 90055 Temperature Test Kit.
• Perform calibration testing at an ambient temperature similar to
the area where the patient adjustable warming unit will be used.
• The patient adjustable warming unit is intended for use in an
ambient environment between 18 and 26°C (65 and 79°F).
CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with electromagnetic
interference (EMI) due to portable and mobile radio frequency (RF)
communications equipment:
• The 3M Bair Hugger temperature management system has
been tested to be resistant to both EMI and electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
• Install and put into service the 3M Bair Hugger temperature
management system according to the electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) information provided in the Guidance and
Manufacturer's Declaration.
• Should interference occur, move away from the portable or
mobile RF communications equipment.

NOTICE:

1. The patient adjustable warming unit meets the international
electronic interference requirements. If radio frequency
interference with monitoring equipment occurs, connect the
patient adjustable warming unit to a different power source.
2. To avoid Bair Hugger patient adjustable warming unit damage:
• Do not immerse the patient adjustable warming unit, patient
adjustable warming unit parts, or accessories in any liquid or
subject them to any sterilization process.
• Do not use cleaning solutions with greater than 80% alcohol
or solvents, including acetone and thinner, to clean the patient
adjustable warming unit or hose. Solvents may damage the
labels and other plastic parts.
