## Indications for Use

The WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System (warming unit and blanket) is intended for prevention and treatment of hypothermia, for example, with the surgical patient, the patient in the pre-operative holding area, the pregnant woman who shivers during epidural anesthesia due to hypothermia, or any patient who is uncomfortable anywhere in the cold critical care environment.

## Device Story

WarmTouch Model 5300 is a convective air warming system; consists of a warming unit and specialized blankets (CareQuilt or CareDrape). Device warms air and delivers it into the blanket placed over or under the patient to transfer heat across the skin. Used in clinical settings (OR, pre-operative holding, critical care) to prevent or treat hypothermia. Operated by healthcare professionals. Modification from predicate involves updated temperature settings. Benefits include patient comfort and maintenance of normothermia.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing demonstrated safe maximum temperature compliance and conformity to ASTM standards for forced air patient temperature management devices. Electrical safety and EMC testing demonstrated compliance with UL544, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-35, and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 125.

## Technological Characteristics

Convective air warming system. Components: warming unit and blankets (CareQuilt/CareDrape). Standards: UL544, IEC 60601-1-2:1993, IEC 60601-2-35, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 125, and draft ASTM Standard Specification for Circulating Liquid and Forced Air Patient Temperature Management Devices. Energy source: electrical. Form factor: warming unit with air-delivery blankets.

## Regulatory 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 Description

The WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System surrounds the patient with warm air and convectively transfers heat across the skin. With the WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System, air is warmed and delivered into a lightweight blanket (CareQuilt or CareDrape Blanket) that rests over or under the patient.

The modification to the WarmTouch Patient Warming Unit consists of design changes relating to temperature settings.

#### Intended Use

The WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System (warming unit and blanket) is intended for prevention and treatment of hypothermia, for example, with the surgical patient, the patient in the pre-operative holding area, the pregnant woman who shivers during epidural anesthesia due to hypothermia, or any patient who is uncomfortable anywhere in the cold critical care environment.

# Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Device Compared to the Legally Marketed (Unmodified) Device

The WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System has the same technological characteristics as the above referenced predicate device. The only changes relate to temperature settings.

#### Testing

Performance testing of the WarmTouch Model 5300 with the CareQuilt and CareDrape Blankets demonstrated safe maximum temperature compliance.

Testing of the WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System for electrical safety and EMC testing demonstrated compliance to applicable sections in the November 1993 FDA Review Guidance document, UL544 Standard for Safety for Medical and Dental Equipment, IEC 60601-1-2:1993 1st Edition requirements, IEC 60601-2-35 Particular Standard for Patient Warming Systems, and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 125 for Electromedical Equipment. Performance testing demonstrated conformity to the draft ASTM Standard Specification for Circulating Liquid and Forced Air Patient Temperature Management Devices.

#### Conclusions

The WarmTouch Model 5300 Patient Warming System and the results of testing do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the legally marketed predicate device.
