Proper maintenance procedures should be followed
including, but not limited to, the preventative maintenance described in this manual.

Water leaks could present a slip
hazard and risk of infection and could lead to electric shock.
Prep solutions have been reported to injure the skin when allowed to remain between
patients and a water-circulating heating blanket during prolonged procedures. Use of
materials of good thermal conductivity, such as water, gel, and similar substances,
with the BLANKETROL III not switched ON may decrease the temperature of the
patient.
The area between the patient and the blanket should be kept dry to avoid
injury to patient.
