!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of thermalinjury:
• The Bair Hugger Model 775warming unit has been designed to
operate safely ONLY with 3M disposable warming products. Use
with other products may cause thermal injury. To the full extent
permitted by law, the manufacturer and/or importer declines all
responsibility for thermal injury resulting from the warming unit
being used in conjunction with non-3M products.
• Do not treat patients with the warming unit hose alone.
Always attach the hose to a 3M warming blanket/gown
before providing warmingtherapy.
• Do not allow the patient to lie on the warming unithose.
• Do not allow the warming unit hose to directly contact the
patient’s skin during warmingtherapy.
• Do not leave neonates, infants, children and other vulnerable
patient populations unattended during warmingtherapy.
• Do not leave patients with poor perfusion unmonitored during
prolonged warmingtherapy.
• Do not place the non-perforated side of the warming blanket/
gown on the patient. Always place the perforated side (with the
small holes) directly on top of the patient in contact with the
patient’sskin.
• Do not connect a torn or damaged blanket/gown to the
warmingunit.
• For over-body warming blankets and gowns; do not place
patient securement device (i.e. safety strap or tape) over the
warmingblanket/gown.
• For underbody or side channel warming blankets; if a securement
device (i.e. safety strap, tape) is used, en-sure the warming
channels are notoccluded.
• Do not place the warming blanket/gown directly over a dispersive
electrodepad.
• Do not continue warming therapy if the red Over-temp indicator
light illuminates and the alarm sounds. Unplug the warming unit
and contact a qualified servicetechnician.
• Do not continue 241blood/fluid warming therapy if the red
Over-temp indicator light illuminates and the alarm sounds.
Immediately stop fluid flow, and discard the blood/fluid
warming set. Unplug the warming unit, and contact a qualified
servicetechnician.
• For the BairHugger flex warming gown; ensure that the blood
pressure cuff, ECG, IV or other lines or cords are not between the
upper sleeve insert and the gown prior to deploying the upper
sleeve warming insert(s), as this could result in tearing of the
insert duringdeployment.
• Do not perform the over-temperature detection system test while
the warming unit is being used for warmingtherapy.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of patient injury or death due to
altered drugdelivery:
• Do not use a warming blanket/gown over transdermal
medication patches.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury due to interference
with ventilation:
• Do not allow the warming blanket/gown or head drape to
cover the patient’s head or airway when the patient is not
mechanicallyventilated.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury due to patientfalls:
• Do not use a warming blanket/gown to transfer or move
thepatient.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage
andfire:
• Keep power cord visible and accessible at all times. The plug on
the power cord serves as the disconnectdevice.
• Only connect to outlets marked “Hospital only,” “Hospital Grade,”
or a reliable groundedoutlet.
• Use only the power cord specified for this 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 unit, power cord
or any component is damaged. Replace the warming unit. Contact
3M TechnicalSupport.
• Do not disassemble the warming unit unless you are a qualified
service technician. There are electrically live parts within the
warming unit when it is connected to a power source.
• Connect each warming unit being tested to a separate
powersource.
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of cross‑contamination:
• Except for specific Bair Hugger warming blanket models, 3M
blankets/gowns are not sterile. Each warming blanket/gown is
intended for single patient use ONLY. Placing a sheet between
the warming blanket/gown and the patient does not prevent
contamination of the product.
• Clean the warming unit and the outside of the warming unit hose
after each patient use. See “Cleaning Instructions” on page 11.
• Follow applicable regulations when disposing of this warming unit
or any of its electricalcomponents.
• Do not attempt to clean the air filter as it may be contaminated
from use. Discard the filter in a manner consistent with
institutional protocol.
• Do not operate the BairHugger warming unit with the hose
detached from the 3M warming blanket/gown. The Bair Hugger
warming unit is intended to be used with the hose properly
attached to its corresponding warming blanket/gown and
in accordance with good practices for operating room
steriletechnique.
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of patient or caregiverinjury:
• If mounted on an IV pole, the distance from the bottom of the
warming unit to the floor must be less than 44” (112 cm) and
the IV pole wheelbase diameter must be at least 28” (71cm) to
preventtipping.

Flammability as defined by the Consumer Product Safety
Commissions flammable fabric regulation, 16CFR 1610. Follow
standard safety protocols when using high intensity heat sources.
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risks of thermal injury, hyperthermia
or hypothermia:
• 3M recommends continuously monitoring core temperature. In
the absence of continuous monitoring, monitor the temperature
of patients who are incapable of reacting, communicating and/or
who cannot sense temperature a minimum of every 15minutes or
according to institutional protocol.
• Monitor cutaneous responses of patients who are incapable
of reacting, communicating and/or who cannot sense
temperature a minimum of every 15minutes or according to
institutional protocol.
• Adjust air temperature or discontinue warming therapy when
the therapeutic goal is reached, if elevated temperatures are
recorded or if there is an adverse cutaneous response in the
warmed area.
• Do not place the warming unit on a soft uneven surface, such
as a bed, or a visibly wet surface as the air in-take may become
blocked and cause the warming unit to overheat, compromising
the warming unit’sperformance.
• Perform all temperature testing of the warming unit with a 3M
Model 22110 temperature testunit.
