Ranger™ Blood/Fluid Warming System Model 245 English 5
WARNING:
1� To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and fire and thermal energy hazards:
•
Do not substitute other devices (i�e� Model 247) for the Ranger blood/fluid warming unit
or Ranger blood/fluid warming sets�
• Do not continue use of the unit if the over‑temperature alert continues to sound and the
temperature does not return to the set point temperature� Immediately stop fluid flow
and discard the warming set� Have the blood/fluid warming unit tested by a biomedical
technician or call 3M Patient Warming technical service�
2� To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and fire:
• Do not modify or service this device, and do not open the warming unit case as there are
no user‑serviceable parts in the unit�
• Connect power cord to receptacles marked “Hospital Only,” “Hospital Grade,” or a
reliably grounded outlet�
• Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use�
• Do not allow the power cord to get wet�
• Do not use the Ranger blood/fluid warming system when it appears the unit power cord,
or warming set is damaged� Use only 3M specified replacement parts�
• Keep power cord visible and accessible at all times� The plug on the power cord serves
as the disconnect device� The wall socket outlet shall be as close as practical and shall be
easily accessible�
• Do not use with a multiple socket outlet or extension cord�
• Do not use this equipment adjacent to, stacked with or in combination with other
equipment without verifying that the total leakage current from the combined equipment
does not exceed the safety limits for Type BF equipment and to assure normal operation
in the configuration in which it will be used�
3� To reduce the risks associated with air embolism and incorrect routing of fluids:
• Never infuse fluids if air bubbles are present in the fluid line
• Ensure all luer connections are tightened�
4� Do not mount the Ranger blood fluid warming system higher than patient level during
infusion, as air embolism may result�
5� To reduce the risks associated with potential blood loss, do not use in combination with an
extracorporeal circuit�
CAUTION:
1� To reduce the risks associated with cross‑contamination:
•
The cleaning tool provides only superficial cleaning, it does not disinfect or sterilize the
interior of the unit�
2� To reduce the risks associated with impact and facility medical device damage:
• Clamp the Ranger blood/fluid warming unit to an I�V� pole with a minimum 14” (35�6 cm)
radius wheelbase and at a height no higher than 44” (112 cm)�
3� To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination:
• Follow applicable regulations when disposing of this device or any of its
electronic components�
• Do not use for direct cardiac application� When using the Ranger blood/fluid warming
system with a central venous catheter (CVC), ensure that the catheter tip does not have
direct contact with the heart and ensure that all electrical devices connected to or near
the patient have an appropriate leakage current rating for the application� If a CVC tip
is found to be in direct contact with a patient’s heart, the blood/fluid warming unit,
Model 245 should be immediately disconnected from the CVC until the CVC is safely
repositioned� Failure to follow these precautions may cause cardiac disturbance and/or
patient injury�
4� Follow the AABB Guidelines for the use of blood warming devices which caution against
warming when administering platelets, cryoprecipitate, or granulocyte suspensions�
5� The 3M Ranger blood/fluid warming system has been tested to be resistant to both
electromagnetic fields (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD)� To reduce the risk associated
with EMI due to portable and mobile RF communications equipment:
•
Install and put into service the 3M Ranger blood/fluid warming system according to the
EMC information provided in the Guidance and Manufacturer's Declaration�
• Should interference occur move away from the portable or mobile RF
communications equipment�
