5. Position the sensor cable away from the patient's
face and apply the sensor to the patient's forehead
above the orbital ridge, on either side, avoiding the

1. Gently press the edge of the sensor to ensure
good adhesion with the skin.
OPTIONAL: Support the sensor cable with the
provided sensor cable clip.
2. The control unit will sense patient attachment
after several seconds and the control unit display
will change to the equilibration screen.
3. The patient's temperature will display on the
patient monitor once equilibrium is reached.
Transferring the patient and sensor
1. Prior to moving the patient, disconnect the sensor
cable from the sensor. The sensor may be left on
the patient and reconnected to another system
once patient transfer is complete.
NOTE: The 3M™ Bair Hugger™ sensor contains
integrated memory that captures up to two hours
of temperature data in five minute intervals. The
sensor will retain these temperatures and history.
2. Carefully reconnect a sensor cable and control
unit to the sensor once transfer is complete.
3. The control unit will sense patient attachment
after several seconds and the control unit display
will change to the equilibration screen.
4. The patient's temperature will display on the
patient monitor once equilibrium is reached.

Removing the sensor

1. Disconnect the sensor cable from the sensor.
Disconnect the sensor cable clip from the bed or
sheet, if used.
2. Starting at the edge of the sensor, gently remove
the sensor from the patient (Figure 3-5).
NOTE: Do not use the sensor tab to remove the
sensor from the patient.
NOTE: If needed, use an alcohol swab along
the sensor edge to help remove the sensor from
the patient.
3. Discard the sensor and clean the sensor cable.

Display temperature units (Celsius
or Fahrenheit)
The control unit can display temperature
measurements in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. The
unit is factory preset to Celsius. To change the display
temperature units push the temperature display button
on the back of the control unit (see Figure 2-4) while
the control unit is powered on.
NOTE: The trend display is always shown
in Celsius.
Shutting down the control unit
The plug on the power supply serves as the disconnect
device. Turn the control unit on and off by plugging or
unplugging the power supply from the wall outlet. The
power outlet shall be as close as practical and shall be
easily accessible.
