The Bair Hugger warming unit is attached to the blanket or gown by means of a flexible hose� Warm air is
generated in the unit and flows through the hose and into the blanket or gown� Depending on the model, the
blanket or gown is placed either around, over, or underneath the patient� Small perforations on the blanket
or gown allow the warm air to be dispersed over the patient� For fluid warming applications, the Model 241
blood/fluid warming set is inserted in the warming unit hose� When the unit is turned ON and a temperature
setting is selected, warm air flows over the Model 241 tubing and warmed fluid exits from the distal end of the
tubing� For additional information on Bair Hugger blankets, Bair Paws gowns, the 241 blood/fluid warming
