1.0 Safety Precautions (cont'd)
CAUTION
• U. S. Federal law restricts this device to
sale by or on the order of a physician.
• Evaporative cooling may result if the
patient's skin is not dry.
• Do not permit air from the quilt to blow
onto an open wound. Convective airflow
can cause airborne contamination to
open wounds. Use tape on quilt to
restrict movement of air toward the
surgical site.
• For grounding reliability, plug only into a
grounded outlet labelled "Hospital
Grade."
• When using an I. V. pole, do not mount
the Power Unit higher than 3 feet
(0.9 meter). Otherwise, the Power Unit
could tip over.
