1. Do not leave patients with poor perfusion unmonitored during prolonged warming therapy sessions.
ermal injury may result.
2. e Bair Hugger temperature management unit has been designed to operate safely ONLY with 3M
Patient Warming disposable components. 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 unit being used in conjunction with product other than 3M Patient
Warming products.)
3. Do not warm patients with the temperature management unit hose alone. ermal injury
may result. Always connect the hose to a Bair Hugger blanket or Bair Paws gown before
providing therapy.
