SW-2008 Sterile Cardiac Convective Warming Blanket<br />
WARNINGS<br />
• Do not use the SW-2008 convective warming blanket if the package is damaged or open.<br />
Sterility may be compromised and may cause death or serious injury.<br />
1 Place the blanket on top of the patient (a) with the<br />
perforated side against the patient's skin.<br />
2 Position the blanket with the hose facing up and the collar<br />
ring accessible (b).<br />
3 Position the clear window (c) over the groin area to allow<br />
access to the region if needed.<br />
4 Remove the paper backing (d) from the adhesive strip and<br />
press the adhesive strip (e) firmly against the patient and<br />
bed to secure.<br />
Connect the SW-2008 Hose<br />
The hose for the cardiac blanket attaches differently than other<br />
blankets.<br />

together, making sure the hose barb snaps into the collar ring (f).<br />
