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.
