Device Story
WarmTouch Surgical Access & Torso Blankets are convective warming accessories used with WarmTouch warming units. Surgical Access Blanket: sterile, full-body, rectangular opening for abdominal/spinal access, medial tape fixation. Torso Blanket: non-sterile, covers shoulders to hips, side flaps for tucking, distal tape fixation. Used in hospital/clinical environments by trained caregivers to prevent/treat hypothermia and maintain normothermia. Blankets distribute warm air from the unit to the patient. Benefits include thermal regulation during surgical procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing: contact surface temperature, useful life, usability, anthropomorphic design, and biocompatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Convective warming blankets. Materials: medical-grade materials with integrated medical tape. Features: orientation labels, face shields, access windows, specific tabs. Connectivity: requires WarmTouch convective warming units (models 5015300A, 5015900, 5016000).
Indications for Use
Indicated for prevention and treatment of hypothermia and management of normothermia in hospital or clinical settings. Surgical Access Blanket for abdominal, laparotomy, and spinal procedures. Torso Blanket for lower body or lower extremity procedures. For use by trained, licensed caregivers only.
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.

JUL 2 9 2013#### Device Description
The WarmTouch Surgical Access Blanket is a sterile full body blanket with a rectangular opening that allows access to the abdominal or lower back. This blanket stays in place via medial tape.
The WarmTouch Torso Blanket is a non-sterile blanket that is intended to cover the patient from the shoulders to the waist/hips. This blanket has flaps on either side that are tucked underneath the patient and medical tape at the distal end.
These blankets are intended to be used with the WarmTouch convective warming units.

### Indications for Use/Intended Use
The WarmTouch Surgical Access Blanket is indicated for use during abdominal, laparotomy, and spinal procedures. The Surgical Access Blanket is to be used only with Warm Touch convective warming units with model numbers 5015300A, 5015900 and 5016000. The warming system is for use only in a hospital or clinical environment, and only by trained and licensed caregivers.
The WarmTouch Torso Blanket is indicated for use during procedures performed on the lower part of the body or lower extremities. The Torso Blanket is to be used only with WarmTouch convective warming units with model numbers 5015300A, 5015900 and 5016000. The warming system is for use only in a hospital or clinical environment, and only by trained and licensed caregivers.
### Technological Characteristics Comparison
The subject WarmTouch blankets have similar materials, manufacturing processes, incorporation of a medical grade tape, and the Surgical Access Blanket has an equivalent sterilization method and shelf life as the predicate CareDrape Cardiac Blanket.
The subject WarmTouch blankets have the following new features when compared to the predicate CareDrape Cardiac Blanket:
Surgical Access: label identifying orientation, a face shield, a rectangular access window. different tabs and physical dimensions
Torso: label identifying orientation, a face shield, different tabs and physical dimensions These new technological and labelling features are not expected to raise new questions of safety or efficacy or be not substantially equivalent since the labeling change adds clarity to insure more effective use. The different physical dimensions face shield, tabs and access window have been shown to be substantially equivalent through performance and usability testing and a risk analysis has been performed for these products.

Dear Ms. Lee:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
