Section 1: Safety Precautions
Cincinnati Sub-Zero Products, LLC, reserves the right to make changes to the device, which may not be reflected in this
manual.
General Description of the WarmAir® 135
The WarmAir® 135 unit is a small and compact warming unit designed to supply air at temperatures of ambient, 32.2°C,
37.8°C or 43.3°C to a patient-applied air-distribution device. The settings are termed “Fan Only”, “Low”, “Medium” and
“High”, respectively.
Indications for Use
The WarmAir® 135 patient warming system is intended to prevent hypothermia and/or reduce cold discomfort before,
during, and after surgical procedures. The thermal regulating system is used to raise a patient’s temperature and/or
maintain a desired patient temperature through convective heat transfer from the controller to a warm-air-heated
blanket. The single-patient use blankets transfer the thermal energy to adult, pediatric or neonate patients to
obtain/maintain normal body temperature. It is intended for use by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in
clinical environments.
Contraindications
High temperature settings to be used with close patient observation when treating patients with the following conditions:
Significant peripheral vascular disease, occlusive or diabetic in nature.
Low cardiac output.
Marginal cutaneous perfusion.
Do not apply heat to lower extremities during arterial cross-clamping. Thermal injury may occur if heat is applied to
ischemic limbs.
