Service Procedures
Calibrating the Operating Temperatures
Service Frequency
Calibrate the unit before placing it in service if the ambient temperature where the warming unit
•
will be used is higher than 24°C (75°F).
Always recalibrate after performing service procedures.
•
Routinely calibrate every 6 months.
•
Tools/Equipment Needed
Model 90055 Temperature Test Kit (thermocouple included)
•

Notes:
The Model 90055 Temperature Test Kit simulates the operating characteristics of Bair Paws gown
when used with the Bair Paws Patient Adjustable Warming System.
When using the Model 90055 Test Kit, take temperature readings using a calibrated thermometer
that can accept a male, subminiature connector and read a “K” type thermocouple (e.g., a Fluke
Model 52 K/J Thermometer). If the test unit’s connector does not fit your thermometer, remove
the connector from the test unit and attach a connector that fits your meter. Be certain to observe
polarity.
Arizant Healthcare Inc. assumes no responsibility for the reliability, safety, or performance of the
Model 850 warming unit if calibration tests or adjustments are made in any manner other than
those described here. Improper measurement or adjustment of the normal operating temperature for
the Model 850 unit could result in patient exposure to temperatures outside of the indicated range
and may lead to patient injury.
