Intended Use

The WarmTouch Patient Warming System (warming unit and blanket) is intended for prevention and treatment of hypothermia and/or shivering in the critical care environment.

Device Story

WarmTouch CareDrape Cardiac Blanket is a convective air warming blanket used in operating rooms to manage patient body temperature. It functions by distributing warm air from a warming unit through the blanket to the patient. The device features slits for patient access and is sterile, allowing use within the sterile field. It is operated by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. The blanket helps prevent or treat hypothermia and shivering, potentially improving patient outcomes during surgical procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing verified a maximum temperature of 40.5°C at the nozzle and a temperature difference of <5°C across the blanket surface. Robustness testing included burst pressure and tape strength measurements conducted pre- and post-sterilization and accelerated aging to simulate shelf life. No clinical data was provided.

Technological Characteristics

Convective air warming blanket. Materials include adhesive tape and flexible blanket material. Designed for use with a forced-air warming unit. Features include access slits and sterile packaging. Performance specifications follow draft ASTM standard for Circulating Liquid and Forced Air Patient Temperature Management Devices. Maximum temperature output 40.5°C; temperature uniformity <5°C across surface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for prevention and treatment of hypothermia and/or shivering in patients in the critical care environment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A thermal regulating system is an external system consisting of a device that is placed in contact with the patient and a temperature controller for the device. The system is used to regulate patient temperature.

Device Trade Name: WarmTouch® CareQuilt™ Cardiac Blanket

Common Name: Convective Air Warming Blanket

- Device Classification Names: The FDA has classified Thermal Regulation Systems as Class II devices under CFR Title 21, Section 870-5900. The product code is DWJ
- Predicate Devices: CareDrape™ Lower Body Blanket, Cat #503-0830 CareQuilt™ Full Body/ Multi-Access Warming Blanket, Cat #503-0810.

Device Description: The Warm Touch® CareDrape™ Cardiac Blanket is similar to the CareDrape™ Lower Body Blanket in use, as both are used in the operating room to help manage the patient's body temperature. The WarmTouch® CareDrape™ Cardiac Blanket is similar to the CareQuilt™ Full Body/ Multi-Access Warming Blanket, as both are equipped with slits, which can be opened for access to the patient through the blanket. The kev difference between the Cardiac Blanket and all earlier WarmTouch® blankets is that the Cardiac Blanket is sterile permitting use of the blanket within the sterile field.

- Indications For Use: The WarmTouch Patient Warming System (warming unit and blanket) is intended for prevention and treatment of hypothermia and/or shivering in the critical care environment.
Contraindications: There are no contraindications for the use of this device

### Summary of Performance Testing:

#### Maximum Temperature delivered to the patient �

The blankets were tested according to the draft ASTM standard Standard Specification for Circulating Liquid and Forced Air Patient Temperature Management Devices. This testing vertfied that the blanket maintained a maximum temperature of 40.5℃. This maximum temperature is located immediately in front of the nozzle tube.

#### Burst Pressure -- Pre/post sterilization and aging .

Burst Pressure of the blankets was tested in the same way as the currently marketed The Durst 1 the blankets are inflated until they burst, and the burst pressure wan i r ouch blankets . The blankets met the same robustness requirements as do the predicate blankets.

#### Tape strength – pre/post sterilization and aging .

Tape Strength of the tape bond was measured before and after accelerated aging (2 The tentile strength of the tape Dond was mousures . These levels bracket the typical year equivalent) and aller of levels of Rudition expective effects on the tape adhesive.

#### Conclusions:

The WarmTouch® CareDrape™ Cardiac Blanket performs as intended according to its The Wallin Ouch® CareDrape - Garaldo Liamist persone™ Cardiac Blanket is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
