Mounting the Model 505 Temperature Management Unit
USING AN IV POLE
The Model 505 unit clamps easily to an IV pole (see Figure E). Simply turn the handle clockwise to
tighten the clamp onto an IV pole, counterclockwise to release.
Warning:
To prevent tipping, clamp the Model 505 unit to an IV pole at a height that provides
stability. We recommend clamping the unit no higher than 44" (112 cm) on an IV pole with a minimum
14" (35.6 cm) radius wheelbase. Failure to do so may result in IV pole tipping, catheter site trauma, and
patient injury.
USING A BEDRAIL
The Model 505 unit can also hang on the edge of a bed. The safety strap is designed to loop around
the bedrail, keeping the Model 505 unit safely suspended even if the unit is inadvertently dislodged
from the bedrail (see Figure F).
