WARNINGS
• Do not mount the convective warmer higher than 117cm (46") on the IV pole. For convenience,
117cm (46") is indicated by a black mark on the power cord. Mounting the convective warmer
above 117cm (46") may result in instability of the pole and cause tipping that may injure the
patient or user.
• Ensure that the convective warmer I.V. pole mounting clamp is properly tightened before each
use. Failure to securely mount the convective warmer onto the I.V. pole may cause it to slide
down the I.V. pole, and injure the patient or user.
Mount to an I.V. Pole
Note: Do not place the convective warmer higher than 117cm (46")
from the floor.
1 Place the convective warmer, on the pole and turn the clamp (d) to
tighten.
2 Check the tightness of the Convective Warmer to ensure it is securely
clamped to the pole.
WARNINGS
• Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the MAINS power cord is connected to a
properly grounded receptacle. Risk of electrical shock exists if the equipment is not connected
to a properly grounded receptacle resulting in death or serious injury to the patient or user.
Install the Power Cord
1 Insert the plug on the power cord (e) into the power cord receptacle on
the rear of the convective warmer.
2 Push the power cord lock over the plug to secure it in the receptacle.
Step 4: Perform Electrical Safety Tests
Perform all applicable electrical safety tests as required per institutional procedure. Electrical safety check
must be performed by competent personnel authorized by the institution to perform such testing. These tests
include, but are not limited to: leakage current, ground bond test, and hypot. Refer to the EQUATOR
Convective Warmer Service Manual (PN 4533902-GB) for further information about electrical safety testing.
Perform electrical safety checks on a routine basis according to institutional policy.
