LOADING GUIDE
•
Minus40 does not make recommendation on specific chamber
set points for any items that are to be warmed. For appropriate
heating requirements and set points of blanket, intravenous and
irrigation fluids, please follow the temperature guidelines printed
on the container or contact the supplier for temperature and
expiration periods.
•
Load contents into the chamber with a minimum of 2 to 3 cm of
space between all walls and fan to allow for evenly distributed
circulation. Allow 2 cm of spacing between fluid containers for
evenly distributed heating.
•
Fluid Bags, should not be stacked as this increases the heating
time required to achieve set temperatures.
•
Blankets, must be folded and stacked to allow a 2 cm minimum
space from the sides, back and top of the compartment or the
shelf above. Do not let blanket protrude past the front edge of
the shelf.
•
Always ensure that the air vent in the airflow insert panel is not
obstructed and always allow space for the warm air to circulate
the contents and the inside of the warmer.
•
Ensure the number of bottles/bags, or blankets as applicable do
not exceed the maximum capacity per shelf or basket
WARNING
•
Avoid injury by using proper personal protective equipment when
loading or unloading the Warming Cabinet. Internal surfaces are
hot, glass may shatter when cooled suddenly and solution bags
or bottles may burst when picked up. Rotate warmed contents
on a first-in, first-out basis. Failure to do so may present cold or
discoloured contents.
