Explanation of Signal Word ConsequencesWARNING:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE:

Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage only.

Warnings and CautionsWARNINGS:

1.To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and fire and thermal energy hazards:

•Do not substitute other devices (i.e. Model 245) for the Ranger irrigation fluid warming unit or Ranger irrigation warming sets.

2.To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and fire:•Do not modify this device.

•Connect power cord to receptacles marked “Hospital Only,” “Hospital Grade,” or a reliably grounded outlet.

•Use only the power cord specified for the product and certified for the country of use.

•Do not allow the power cord to get wet.

•Do not use the warming unit when it appears the Ranger warming unit, power cord, or warming set is damaged. Use only 3M specified replacement parts.

•Keep power cord visible and accessible at all times. The plug on the power cord serves as the disconnect device. The wall socket outlet shall be as close as practical and shall be easily accessible.

CAUTION:1.To reduce the risks associated with cross-contamination:

•The cleaning tool provides only superficial cleaning, it does not disinfect or sterilize the interior of the unit.

2.To reduce the risks associated with impact and facility medical device damage:

•Clamp the Ranger warming unit to an I.V. pole with a minimum 14" (35.6 cm) radius wheelbase and at a height no higher than 44" (112 cm).

3.To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination:

•Follow applicable regulations when disposing of this device or any of its electronic components.

4.Do not use the Ranger blood/fluid warming system 245 Model for direct cardiac application. When using the Model 245 with a central venous catheter (CVC), ensure that the catheter tip does not have direct contact with the heart and ensure that all electrical devices connected to or near the patient have an appropriate leakage current rating for the application. If a CVC tip is found to be in direct contact with a patient’s heart, the Model 245 should be immediately disconnected from the CVC until the CVC is safely repositioned. Failure to follow these precautions may cause cardiac disturbance and/or patient injury.
