INTRODUCTION

Device Description
The HotDog Patient Warming System consists of the HotDog Controller, reusable warming devices (e.g., Warming Blankets) and accessories. This manual includes aintenance instructions and specifications for the HotDog Controller Models WC0X. For information about HotDog warming devices and accessories, refer to the “User  Manual” provided with each device/accessory.
The HotDog Controller is designed to help maintain normothermia in patients before, during, and after surgical procedures and to help prevent unintended hypothermia.  The system is powered and controlled by an electronic control unit. Warming devices (e.g., blankets) are powered at low voltage, ensuring safety for patients and operators.  Warming temperatures are controlled automatically to user-selected levels, and over-temperature safety shut-offs are integrated into the controller as well as into each warming device.
The HotDog Controller can be placed on a flat surface, mounted on an IV pole, or suspended from the OR table/gurney rail using optional hooks. The HotDog Patient  Warming System can be operated continuously to maintain uniform heat over the patient. It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether warming is appropriate for  each individual patient. The HotDog Patient Warming System should not be used when clinical considerations indicate that warming of the patient is not advisable.
Indications for Use
The HotDog Patient Warming System is intended to prevent or treat hypothermia and to provide warmth to patients. The HotDog Patient Warming System should be used  in circumstances in which patients may not maintain a state of normothermia. The System is intended primarily for use in hospitals and surgical centers including, without  limitation, operating, recovery, and emergency rooms and on medical/surgical floors.

Contraindications

  • DO NOT warm ischemic or non-perfused tissue; thermal injury may result. Examples include tissue distal to aortic cross clamping, or when vasoconstrictive drugs would  lead to severe, prolonged vasoconstriction.
