Bair Hugger Security Systems - Temperature System Calibration and Testing

Over Heat Alarm Testing
WARNING: Perform all testing and adjustments of warming unit
temperature with a calibrated Model 221 Temperature test kit
or a Model 22110 Temperature test unit. Arizant Healthcare Inc.
assumes no responsibility for the reliability, safety, or performance
of the Bair Hugger system if warming unit temperature testing or
adjustments are made in any other manner than that described
here. Improper measurement or adjustment of the warming
unit’s over heat alarm setting could result in patient exposure to
temperatures outside of the indicated range, and may lead to
patient injury.
NOTE: The Model 221 Temperature Test Kit and the Model 22110
Temperature Test Unit are designed to simulate the operating
characteristics of Bair Hugger blankets and Bair Paws gowns when
used with Bair Hugger warming units; use of the temperature test
device with any other warming system may result in imprecise
readings.
If using the Model 221 Test Kit, temperature readings are taken
from the test kit itself. If using the Model 22110 Test Unit,
temperature readings are taken from a calibrated temperature
meter.
