Positioning of the Ranger warming unit
•
When mounting the warming unit to an IV pole, position it at patient height, but no higher than 112cm (44”) off the
ground, onto a heavy based five footed IV pole. This will reduce the risk of the IV pole tipping and potentially causing
injury to someone.
•
The warming unit is designed to be mounted on an IV pole, using the IV pole clamp situated on the side of the
warming unit. When mounting the warming unit, ensure the clamp is tightened securely.
