Introduction to the Bair Paws® Patient Adjustable Warming System The Bair Paws patient adjustable warming system consists of the Model 850 forced-air warming unit and disposable warming gowns. The Bair Paws Model 850 and warming gown can provide comfort warming and prewarming to patients in preoperative settings. In postoperative settings the Model 850 can provide comfort warming. This manual includes operating instructions and unit specifications for the Model 850 warming unit. Please refer to the Instructions for Use included with the Bair Paws warming gown for more information about the gown.
Bair Paws Model 850 Warming Unit The Bair Paws Model 850 warming unit has the following key elements: a blower, a heating element, and a hand-held temperature controller. The warming unit delivers warmed air through a hose that is connected to a port in a Bair Paws gown. The patient can adjust the air temperature using the temperature controller.

The Bair Paws single-use warming gown has an integral, channeled insert that delivers warm air through small perforations to warm the patient. Air-channel inserts and hose ports enable comfort warming with a Bair Paws 800 series warming unit or clinical warming with a Bair Hugger® 500 or 700 series temperature management unit. The gown also has Velcro® fastener strips on each shoulder that provide easy access to the patient’s arms and chest. The Bair Paws warming gowns are latex-free.

Important Information about the Bair Paws Model 850 Warming Unit Indications/Intended Use The Model 850 warming unit is indicated for patient warming. This warming unit has been designed for use with the Bair Paws warming gowns in all preoperative and postoperative settings.
Contraindication Do not apply heat to lower extremities during aortic cross-clamping. Do not apply heat to ischemic limbs. Thermal injury may result.
Warnings •
Do not warm patients with the warming unit’s hose alone. Thermal injury may result. Always connect the hose to a Bair Paws warming gown before providing patient warming.
• Do not use a forced-air warming device over transdermal medications; increased drug delivery, patient death, or injury may occur. • Use only Bair Paws warming gowns with the Model 850 warming unit. This warming unit has been designed to operate safely with Bair Paws warming gowns; 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 products other than Bair Paws warming gowns. • The Model 850 warming unit is not intended for use in the operating room. • Do not allow the warming unit’s hose to contact the patient’s skin during patient warming. Thermal injury may result. • Position the temperature controller cord and the hose away from the patient’s neck or shoulders to avoid entanglement and/or injury. • Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Precautions • Do not initiate patient warming unless the Model 850 warming unit is safely placed on a hard surface or securely mounted. Otherwise, injury may result. • The Model 850 warming unit meets the international electronic interference requirements of EN 60601-1-2 and EN 55011. However, if radio frequency interference with monitoring equipment occurs, connect the warming unit to a different power source. • Monitor the patient’s temperature and cutaneous response every 10-20 minutes or according to institutional protocol and monitor the patient’s vital signs regularly.
Proper Use and Maintenance Arizant Healthcare Inc. assumes no responsibility for the reliability, performance, or safety of the unit if: • modifications or repairs are performed by unqualified personnel, • the warming unit is used in a manner other than that described in the Operator’s Manual, or • the warming unit is installed in an environment that does not meet the appropriate electrical and grounding requirements.
Read Before Servicing Unit All repair, calibration, and servicing of the Model 850 warming unit must be performed by qualified, medical equipment service technicians who are familiar with good practice for medical device repair. If the warming unit does not require the manufacturer’s attention, Arizant Healthcare Inc. will ship replacement parts to your location. Perform all repairs and maintenance in accordance with the instructions provided with the replacement parts.

Preparing the Bair Paws Model 850 Warming Unit for Use Before you begin using the warming unit, make sure that it is safely placed on a flat, hard surface such as a table, or securely mounted on a wall, IV pole, or bedrail. Caution: Do not place the warming unit on a soft or uneven surface, such as a bed, or the air intake may become blocked. A wall-mount bracket is shipped with every warming unit; the brackets for mounting the warming unit to an IV pole or a bedrail are available separately. Please contact your local sales representative or call Arizant Healthcare® customer service at 1-800-733-7775 for more information about ordering mounting brackets. The following instructions for mounting the warming unit assume that the brackets have already been attached to the wall or to the warming unit.
Placing the Warming Unit on the Wall-mount Bracket 1. Slide the V-shaped bracket on the back of the warming unit into the groove of the wall-mount bracket. 2. Lift the warming unit straight up to remove it from the wall-mount bracket.

Mounting the Warming Unit on an IV Pole Caution: To prevent tipping, mount the Model 850 warming unit on an IV pole at a height that ensures stability. We recommend mounting the warming unit no higher than 44 in. (112 cm) from the floor on an IV pole with a minimum wheelbase radius of 14 in. (35.6 cm). Failure to do so may result in IV pole tipping, leading to potential catheter site trauma and other patient injuries. 1. Position the IV pole-mount at the desired height on the IV pole. 2. Turn the clamp knob on the IV pole-mount clockwise to tighten the clamp to the pole. 3. Slide the V-shaped bracket on the back of the warming unit into the groove of the IV pole-mount.

Mounting the Warming Unit on a Bedrail 1. Hang the Model 850 warming unit on a bedrail by the hooks on the rail-mount that has been pre-attached by a biomedical technician to the back of the unit. 2. Wrap the safety strap around the bedrail and connect the end to the fastener on the strap. The safety strap will prevent the warming unit from falling if the rail-mount is inadvertently dislodged from the bedrail. Bedrail

What to Do if the “Over-Temp” Indicator Light Illuminates If the “Over-Temp” indicator light illuminates, the warming unit has detected warmer air than what would be expected under normal operation. This event may occur if airflow through the system becomes blocked or if the unit is improperly calibrated. When an over-temperature event occurs, the heater and blower automatically turn off to ensure safety. You should perform the following steps: 1. Discontinue patient warming.
• Disconnect the warming unit hose from the Bair Paws warming gown. • Turn the warming unit OFF. 2. Unplug the warming unit from the power source and wait 5 minutes. 3. Reconnect the warming unit to the grounded power source. 4. Turn the warming unit ON and select the temperature setting. 5. Allow the warming unit to run for at least 5 minutes.
• If the “Over-Temp” light illuminates again, return the warming unit to Arizant Healthcare for service. • Otherwise, reconnect the warming unit hose to the Bair Paws gown to resume patient warming.

General Maintenance Calibrating the Operating Temperatures Operating temperature calibration should be verified every 6 months and after performing service procedures. In addition, if the ambient temperature where the warming unit will be used is higher than 24°C (75°F), the unit should be recalibrated before it is placed in service. You will need a Bair Paws Model 90055 temperature test kit to perform the calibration. Calibration instructions are included with the test kit.
Replacing the Filter Replace the filter every 6 months or sooner if necessary. To order a replacement filter, contact Arizant Healthcare customer service using either of the telephone numbers listed on page 11. Instructions for replacing the filter will be included with the replacement filter.
Cleaning the Warming Unit Warning: Do not immerse any part of the warming unit while cleaning it. Moisture will damage the components, and thermal injury may result. Precaution • Do not use a dripping wet cloth to clean the warming unit. Moisture may seep into the electrical contacts and damage the components. • Do not use harsh solvents to clean the warming unit.* Solvents may damage the labels and other plastic parts. Method 1. Disconnect the warming unit from the power source before cleaning. 2. Wipe the cabinet, the temperature controller, and the outside of the hose with a damp, soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution or antimicrobial spray. 3. Dry with a separate soft cloth. * W INDEX® multi-use liquid cleaner, ENVIROCIDE® disinfectant, and ALCONOX® industrial cleaner are three products that can be used to clean the equipment, as well as 3% household bleach, isopropanol, ethanol, ammonia or other phosphate-based glass cleaning solutions.
