Using the Holder for the Handheld Temperature Controller

Store the handheld temperature controller in the controller holder to help prevent cord clutter around the patient and accidental damage to the warming unit.

1.Press the holder onto the warming unit hose so it is within the patient’s reach.

WARNING:

To reduce the risks associated with thermal energy and entanglement:

•Do not leave pediatric patients unattended while warming with a Bair Paws 800 series warming system.

•Do not allow pediatric patients to handle or adjust the temperature controller without supervision.

2.Slide the temperature controller into the holder. It should fit securely with the dial facing the patient.

What to Do if the “Over-temp” Indicator Light lluminates and Audible Alarm Sounds

If the “Over-temp” indicator light illuminates, it means that the warming unit is delivering air at a higher temperature than the unit is calibrated to deliver. When an over-temperature condition occurs, the color indicator light illuminates, an audible alarm will sound, and the heater will automatically turn off (the blower will continue to run). You should perform the following steps:

1.Discontinue patient warming.

•Turn the warming unit OFF.

•Disconnect the warming unit hose from the Bair Paws warming gown.

2.Unplug the warming unit from the power source and wait 5 minutes.

3.Reconnect the warming unit to a proper power source.

4.Turn the warming unit ON and select the maximum airflow and temperature setting by turning the controller knob completely clockwise.
