intended for single patient use ONLY� Placing a sheet between the Bair Hugger blanket
and the patient does not prevent contamination of this product�

according to institutional protocol and monitor the patient's vital signs regularly� Adjust
air temperature or discontinue therapy when the therapeutic goal is reached or if vital
sign instability occurs� Notify physician of vital sign instability immediately�
3� Do not leave pediatric patients unattended during therapy�
4� Do not initiate temperature management therapy unless the temperature management
unit is safely placed on a hard surface or securely mounted� Otherwise, injury may result�
5� To prevent tipping, clamp the temperature management unit to an IV pole at a height
that provides stability� We recommend clamping the unit no higher than 44" (112cm)
on an IV pole with a minimum 14" (35cm) radius wheelbase� Failure to do so may
result in IV pole tipping, catheter site trauma, and patient injury�
