User Manual: Hot Dog Veterinary Patient Warming System Controller
Page 5
Use over-body warming instead of under-body warming on patients with multiple risk factors
such as short hair, poor circulation, severe illness that may impact circulation, or long-duration
procedures (> 2 hours).
Do not expose the Hot Dog Warming Blanket to a continuous exchange of cold irrigation fluids.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
When using the Hot Dog Warming Blanket above the patient:
Use on the warmest setting appropriate to the patient condition and procedure for maximum
effectiveness.
Place the Hot Dog Warming Blanket directly on the patient with the sensor in contact with the
patient.
When using the Hot Dog Warming Blanket under the patient or wrapped around the
patient:
Do not use heat settings above 40°C unless you have a towel placed between the patient and the
Hot Dog Warming Blanket.
The sensor should be in contact with the patient. A towel between the sensor and the patient is
acceptable.
Ensure that adequate steps are taken to mitigate pressure.
