This manual includes operating instructions and unit specifications for the Model 875 warming unit. Please refer to the Instructions for Use for more information about the gowns. The Bair Paws system should only be used by trained medical professionals.

Bair Paws Model 875 Warming Unit

The Bair Paws Model 875 warming unit has the following key elements: a blower, a heating element, and a handheld temperature controller. The warming unit delivers warmed air through a hose that is connected to a port in a Bair Paws gown. The patient can adjust the air temperature and airflow using the temperature controller.

Bair Paws Warming Gowns

The Bair Paws single-use warming gown completely covers and surrounds the patient except for the head, hands and feet. The gown has an integral, channeled insert that delivers ambient and warm air through small perforations to warm the patient. Air channels and hose ports enable comfort and prewarming with a Bair Paws 800 series warming unit or clinical warming with a 3MTM Bair HuggerTM 500 or 700 series temperature management unit. The gown also has fastener strips on each shoulder that provide easy access to the patient’s arms and chest. The Bair Paws warming gowns are latex-free and are sized for pediatric and adult patients.
