calibrateit.AdjustmentoftheControl
PC Board in the field could result in
patient injury.
•Use care when resetting the thermostats.
Excessive force (force greater than
5 pounds) can damage the overtemp
protection device and/or inadvertently
alter the trip temperature of the device.
•Explosivehazard.Donotuseinthe
presence of flammable anesthetics.
•Riskofelectricshock.Disconnectpower
before servicing the TC3249 Power Unit.
This device generates heated air flow.
Excessive heat could cause thermal
stressorskinlesions.Failuretofollow
these precautions could result in death or
serious injury:
•Use this system only under direction of
a physician. Read and understand the
Operating Manual, Quilt Instructions for
Use, and all precautions before using.
•Repairs should be performed only by
