Step 4: Attach the Hose to Convective Warming Blanket<br />
WARNINGS<br />
• The hose nozzle MUST be connected to a Snuggle Warm ® convective warming blanket. Do<br />
not treat patients with the hose alone. Thermal injury may occur.<br />
1 Insert the hose nozzle (a) into the collar ring<br />
(b).<br />
2 Ensure the hose barb (c) snaps into the collar<br />
ring (b).<br />
3 If the hose has locking tabs (d), secure the<br />
hose to the convective warming blanket using<br />
the hose retainer wings (e). The hose tabs will<br />
protrude through the retainer wings (e).<br />
Step 5: Attach the Sheet Clip to the Sheet Under the Patient<br />
Two types of sheet clips are available. Use the method appropriate for your clip.<br />
Attaching the New Style Sheet Clip<br />
1 Squeeze the handles (f) on the sheet clip to open the jaws-like<br />
opening.<br />
2 Insert the sheet into the open jaws (g) and release the handles to<br />
lock in place.<br />
Note: Proper attachment of the sheet clip to the sheet under the<br />
patient is essential to the proper function of the sheet clip assembly.<br />
The weight of the patient on the sheet helps hold the hose in place<br />
when the sheet clip is used.<br />
