General Information
This warming cabinet is designed to safely warm and store
blankets and either irrigation fl uids or injection fl uids.
The dual-chambered warming cabinet is constructed with
stainless steel exterior casing and door with handle and hinges
designed to withstand heavy usage. A door with window
allows observation of inventory with the door closed. The
cabinet is warmed using low-heat-density electrothermal
cable array. The electrothermal cable is positioned in the fl oor
and two sides of the warming cabinet, providing even heating
of the interior chamber.
Each chamber's temperature is regulated by a separate
electronic control consisting of a 4 digit L.E.D. display,
ON/OFF button, INCREASE and DECREASE buttons,
integrated lock-out control feature and a series of prompt
sequence indicators.
Each control can easily be set to operate in Fahrenheit or
Celsius. Aft er a power failure, the cabinet will remember its
programming and begin to operate as before. The ON/OFF
indicator will blink to indicate a failure occurred; pressing the
ON/OFF button once will eliminate this blinking. A thermal
shut-off system, separate from the electronic controls, is
included as an additional safety feature.
The control will display temperature in whole degrees.
Blanket warming chamber:
The design and operational characteristics of the chamber
eliminate the need for a heat circulating fan.
The controller has an adjustable temperature range of
37°C to 93°C (98°F to 200°F).
The timer feature allows the user to program the controller
to automatically switch on and switch off once during a
24-hour period at selected times. This enables the chamber to
be turned off automatically at night to save energy, but turned
on again in the early morning to ensure warm blankets are
available.
Fluid warming chamber:
The warming appliance can be programmed to warm
either irrigation fl uids (IRR) or injection fl uids (INJ), with
separate temperature ranges provided depending on the
choice selected.
• IRR temperature range: 37°C to 66°C (98°F to 150°F),
• INJ temperature range: 37°C to 40°C (98°F to 104°F).
A fan located inside the chamber mixes the air to prevent
temperature stratifi cation and to ensure an accurate
chamber temperature for each mode.
• 0/-1.12°C (+0/-2ºF) for set points of
37°C to 40°C (98°F to 104°F).
• 0/-1.67°C (+0/-3ºF) for set points of
43°C to 66°C (110°F to 150°F)
An alarm will sound if temperatures exceed 6°C (10°F) over
the set-point temperature, and an overtemp indicator will
blink indicating an over-temperature condition.
The blanket warming chamber includes a white, epoxy-
coated blanket support assembly and two (2) shelves. The
fl uid warming chamber is equipped with one (1) white,
epoxy-coated shelf to accommodate most commonly used
surgical fl uids packaged in bags or bottles. The basket has a
