## Indications for Use

The WarmAir® 135 patient warming system is intended to prevent hypothermia and/or reduce cold discomfort before, during, and after surgical procedures. The thermal regulating system is used to raise a patient's temperature and/or maintain a desired patient temperature through convective heat transfer from the controller to a warm-air-heated blanket. The single-patient use blankets transfer the thermal energy to adult, pediatric or neonate patients to obtain/maintain normal body temperature. It is intended for use by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in clinical environments.

## Device Story

WarmAir 135 Hyperthermia System is a convective patient temperature management device. System consists of a controller unit and disposable blankets; controller heats air and delivers it via flexible hose to blanket placed over or under patient. Used in hospitals, surgical facilities, and long-term care environments by trained healthcare professionals. Primary safety relies on a thermistor; secondary safety utilizes a snap disc thermostat. Device prevents hypothermia and maintains normothermia during perioperative periods. Benefits include thermal regulation and patient comfort.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including temperature performance, system safety limit testing, transportation testing, and blanket structural integrity testing. Device complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards.

## Technological Characteristics

Convective thermal regulating system. Components: controller unit, flexible hose, disposable blankets. Sensing: thermistor (primary safety). Actuation: snap disc thermostat (secondary safety). Power: medical electrical equipment. Standards: IEC 60601-1 (General Safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC).

## 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 WarmAir 135 Hyperthermia System is a patient temperature management device which provides forced air warmed by the controller to a blanket that is placed over or under adult, pediatric or neonatal patients in order to warm them. The heated air is blown through connecting flexible hose to a disposable blanket to provide patient therapy by the means of warmed air.

.

The system can be used in long-term care facilities, surgical facilities, hospitals including the Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), Emergency Room (ER), Operating Room (OR), recovery room, medical and surgical floors, emergency department, or any other department or hospital facility requiring patient temperature management.

#### DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE CHANGES

The predicate WarmAir System, Model 133 used a thermistor for the primary temperature safety and a bulb capillary type or thermostat for the secondary temperature safety. The new Model 135 uses a thermistor for the primary temperature safety and a snap disc thermostat for the secondary temperature safety. The specifications for the primary and secondary safety shut-down set points have changed from the prior model.

#### INTENDED USE

The WarmAir 135 patient warming system is intended to prevent hypothermia and/or reduce cold discomfort before, during, and after surgical procedures. The thermal regulating system is used to raise a patient's temperature and/or maintain a desired patient temperature through convective heat transfer from the controller to a warm-airheated blanket. The single-patient use blankets transfer the thermal energy to adult, pediatric, or neonate patients to obtain/maintain normal body temperature. It is intended for use by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in clinical environments.

# BENCH TESTS PERFORMED IN DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Bench testing was performed in order to validate the design according to the company's specified design requirements, and to demonstrate the new systems are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

The following bench tests were performed:

- Temperature Performance Testing .
- System Safety Limit Testing .
- Transportation Testing .
- Blanket Structural Integrity Testing .

In addition, the new systems meet the applicable requirements of the following standards:

- · IEC 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 1988; Amendment 1, 1991-11, Amendment 2, 1995.

{2}------------------------------------------------

- IEC 60601-1-2, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements . for Safety - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility -- Requirements and Tests.
All necessary testing has been performed for the WarmAir 135 Hyperthermia system to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The modified devices have the same intended use as the predicates and similar technological characteristics that do not raise new types of questions of safety and effectiveness and are therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
