The ASTOPAD control unit is equipped with a universal mounting clamp for attaching to standard medical equipment rails or an infusion stand, two outputs for connecting one or two applied parts, connection to mains by detachable power supply cord, connector for potential equalization, the electronic boards and the control panel for the user/operator.
The control unit has two outputs (connecting sockets) A and B for connecting ASTOPAD applied parts. The desired set temperature can be selected in the range of 32.0 ℃ - 39.0 ℃ in 0.5 ℃ increments for each connected applied part, independent of each other, on the control panel of the control unit. The control unit can also be used with only one of the outputs, A or B. The selected set temperature and the current temperature are displayed individually for each applied part in the control panel.
The control unit supplies the applied part(s) with electrical current (low voltage) and monitors and controls the temperature of the applied part(s). When error conditions occur, the control unit draws the operator's attention to the error condition by means of alarm signals (optical & acoustical). In the event of failure conditions (overheating, heater defect, sensor defect), the control unit reacts immediately by shutting off the power supply to the applied part.
Optionally the control unit can be fitted with a battery. When the battery is installed, it is possible to operate the device independently from the mains for approximately two hours.
The ASTOPAD control unit does not control or indicate the actual temperature of the patient, but rather only the actual temperature of the applied part.
Temperature regulation of the individual applied parts is performed with several integrated sensors.
Safety of ASTOPAD is provided by the following measures per output:
- Several temperature sensors for each applied part ●
- Double independent sensor monitoring ●
- Heater monitoring .
- Time shut-off .
- Visual and acoustic alarm signals ●
- Overheating and low-temperature alarm if the contact surface ● temperature deviates from the temperature controller setting

Image /page/6/Picture/2 description: The image shows medical warming blankets. On the left side of the image, there are three orange warming blankets. On the right side of the image, there is a blue and a black warming blanket.
- Heat transfer to the patient, using conductive heat, is the technological Comparison principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It is based on the use of applied parts which have thermal contact with the patient to provide heat.
At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- · Applied parts in the form of blankets are lightweight and flexible and both are made from coated plastics.
- · Applied parts are powered by electrical energy (low voltage).
- · Electrical energy is transformed to warmth by a heating element which opposes the current by an electrical resistance.
- · Temperature of the applied parts is controlled by temperature sensors.
- · The systems include a control unit and applied parts in different sizes.
- · Control units and applied parts are connected together by a detachable cable.
- · Control units include attachment device for IV-pole or medical rail, control and monitoring electronics, control panel for the user, outputs to connect applied parts simultaneously, and input for power supply cord.
- · User can select set temperature of the applied parts within a limited range.
- · Control panels show set temperature of the applied part.
- . The control units inform the user about alarm conditions by means of optical and acoustic signals.
- · Control units react with an alarm in the case of sensor defects
- · Control units include a connector for potential equalization.
- . Control units have a grip tray on the upper backside, with which the device can be transported with one hand.
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- · The subject device uses 8 temperature sensors for temperature control and monitoring, whereas the predicate device uses 2 temperature sensors for temperature control and monitoring.
- · Each blanket of the subject device can be placed over or under the patient and can be used on either side, whereas the applied parts of the
ASTOPAD® Patient Warming System – 510(k) Summary Page 4 of 6
{7}------------------------------------------------
predicate device are either over blankets or underbody mattresses that cannot be used interchangeably and can only be used on one side.
- · The subject device is classified as "defibrillation-proof" according to the requirements of IEC 60601-1, whereas the predicate device is not.
- . The subject device shows the user selected set temperature and the current temperature of the applied part simultaneously, whereas in operation mode the predicate device shows only the set temperature of the applied part.
- Based on the requirements of IEC 80601-2-35 the subject device has a . set temperature range from 32℃ to 39℃ in 0.5℃ increments. The predicate device has a selectable set temperature range from 37°C to 43°C in 1°C increments for blankets and 35°C to 39°C for mattresses.
- · The subject device uses hardware for controlling and monitoring the temperature of the applied part, whereas the temperature control of the predicate device is managed by Microprocessor utilization.
- · The subject device can optionally be fitted with a chargeable battery which makes it possible to operate the device independently from the mains for approximately two hours.
