Description

Bair Hugger Temperature Management Blanket, Model 555 Pediatric Full Access Blanket. Use only with a Bair Hugger temperature managemen unit. Not Sterile. Do not use if primary packaging has been previously opened or is damaged. Arizant Healthcare Inc., 10393 West 70th Street, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 USA.

Reason

Air channel seals on a limited number of Bair Hugger Model 555 Pediatric underbody blankets could separate when inflated with air from Bair Hugger warming unit. This separation would create a bulging area in the blanket's air channels, which could have a potential to shift the patient's position on the blanket.
