minutes or according to institutional protocol. Monitor
the patient’s vital signs regularly. Adjust air temperature or
discontinue therapy when the therapeutic goal is reached or
if vital sign instability occurs. Notify physician of vital sign
instability immediately.
3. Do not leave pediatric patients unattended during therapy.
4. Do not initiate temperature management therapy unless
the temperature management unit is free from mechanical
damage and is safely placed on a hard surface or securely
mounted. Otherwise, injury may result.
5. To prevent tipping, clamp the Model 775 temperature
management unit to an IV pole at a height that provides
stability. We recommend clamping the unit no higher than
44” (112 cm) on an IV pole with a minimum 28” (71 cm)
diameter wheelbase. Failure to do so may result in IV pole
tipping, catheter site trauma, and patient injury.
6. Electrical shock hazard. Do not disassemble the temperature
management unit unless you are a qualified service
technician. There are electrically live parts within the unit
when it is connected to a power source, even when the unit
is in Standby mode.
7. To reduce the risks associated with environmental
contamination follow applicable regulations when disposing
of this device or any of its electronic components.
