5.To reduce the risks associated with cross contamination:

•Do not use the warming unit in an operating room.

•Gowns are intended for single-use only.

6.To reduce the risks associated with fire:

•Always follow standard safety protocols when using high intensity heat sources near a Bair Paws gown.

CAUTION:

1.To reduce the risks associated with impact or property damage:

•Initiate patient warming only after the warming unit is safely placed on a hard surface or securely mounted.

•Do not use a Bair Paws gown to transfer or move the patient; injury may result.

2.To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination:

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

3.To reduce the risks associated with thermal energy:

•Do not cut the gown, and do not connect the gown to a warming unit if the fabric is torn or cut; air channels could be damaged.

•Avoid rolling, gathering, bunching or compressing the air-channel insert of the gown as this can occlude airflow and reduce warming of the patient. Extend the insert to its full length for optimal heat transfer when connected to a warming unit.

4.To reduce the risk associated with impact or tripping:

•Do not use the Bair Paws pediatric gown unless the patient is over 102 cm (40 inches) tall.

5.To reduce the risks associated with pinching or device damage of the suction wall mount adapter:

•Only hold the front of the adapter when increasing/decreasing the expander.

•Overtorquing the suction wall mount adapter may cause device damage.
