Directions For Use; Symbol Glossary - 3M Bair Hugger 55000 Mode D'emploi

Directions for Use

Note: In cases where fluid runoff is expected, place an absorbent cloth
beneath the Bair Hugger warming blanket.
1. Using the adhesive tape strips on the underside of the warming
blanket, secure the blanket to the table to prevent it from slipping
(Figures A and B). The side flaps (located on underside of 55000)
can be tucked under the mattress or table to provide extra stability.
A B
2. Place the patient on top of the blanket while it is in the non-inflated
state. Do not position patient's arms out across blanket; airflow may
be restricted
WARNING: If a securement device (i.e. safety strap, tape) is used,
ensure the warming channels are not occluded.
3. Apply the clear drapes as desired for the surgical procedure. The
head drape should be used only if the patient is intubated and
ventilated. Use adhesive tape strips to adhere drape(s) in place
along the upper and/or lower edge of the prep site (Figures C
and D).
WARNING: Do not allow the head drape to cover the patient's head
or airway when the patient is not mechanically ventilated.

4. Hose ports are provided at either end of the blanket for clinician
preference (Figures E and F). A removable card is located in the
lower hose port (Figure G). Place the card into the hose port that is
not being used during warming.
WARNING: Do not allow the patient's arms or legs to rest on either
hose port.

5. Insert the end of the Bair Hugger warming unit hose in the hose
port (Figure H). Use a twisting motion to ensure a snug fit. A
visual marker is located around the mid-section of the hose end
to guide the depth of hose insertion. Support hose to insure
secure attachment.
WARNING: Do not treat patients with the Bair Hugger hose alone.
Always attach the hose to a Bair Hugger blanket before providing
warming therapy

6. Select the desired temperature setting on the warming unit to
initiate warming therapy. (See the Operator Manual for your specific
Warming Unit Model)
CAUTION: Patient Monitoring Recommendations:
• 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.
