Patient Warming System Instructions for Use

Patient Warming System 1. Introduction General Description The Inspiration Healthcare Limited Patient Warming System is designed for use in the operating room, recovery room, anaesthetic room, intensive care and emergency department. The AlphaCore5 Controller has only one mode of operation, providing safe and controlled warming to assist patients in maintaining normal body temperature. The applied parts are available as: • Mattresses for use under a patient • Blanket to be placed over a patient • Patient probe to indicate patient temperature (provided by third party manufacturer) Mattresses and blanket can be used in combination with each other simultaneously providing the total power draw of the combination does not exceed that required by two IHC-OTM1 mattresses (maximum total loading 170 watts). The patient’s core temperature should be regularly and independently monitored.

Different sizes and models of mattress and blanket are available from Inspiration Healthcare Limited for various procedures and situations. The AlphaCore5 Controller powers the mattresses and blanket at low voltage, ensuring safety for patients and operators. The temperature is controlled automatically to an operator selected level. An overtemperature safety cut-out is integrated into each mattress and blanket. The AlphaCore5 Controller is provided with a multi-purpose clamp and can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on an Intravenus pole (IV pole), anaesthetic machine, or Medi-rail. The system can control up to 5 accessory mattresses and/or blanket for one patient. It has a range of operating temperatures from 25-40°C and is designed to be operated continuously, maintaining a uniform heat under and/or over the patient. The serviceable life of the AlphaCore5 Controller is 5 years and serviceable life of the mattresses, blanket and connecting cables is 3 years under normal use conditions.

3. Safety Intended Use The Inspiration Healthcare Limited Patient Warming System, consisting of a AlphaCore5 Controller, heating mattresses and blanket, is a system for use in supporting the maintenance of a patient’s core body temperature within the normothermic range between 36.5°C and 37.5°C. The patient applied parts of mattresses and blanket are for either neonatal or paediatric to adult patient ranges. An independent device should be used to regularly measure the patient’s core body temperature whilst the system is in use. Indication for Use To support the maintenance of normothermia in patients at risk or who may become at risk of inadvertent hypothermia within a hospital setting. The system should be used for all age ranges from Neonatal to Adult. Contraindications It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether warming is appropriate for each individual patient. The Patient Warming System should not be used on patients where clinical considerations indicate that warming of the patient is not advisable (e.g. aortic cross clamping). Caution should be used when using mattresses and blanket were patients have ischemic limbs. The Inspiration Healthcare Limited Patient Warming System and all its accessories are not MRI compatible. A potential increase in delivery of transdermal medications when in direct contact with either mattresses or blanket (for example, skin patches) may cause patient harm. Inspiration Healthcare Limited W inspiration-healthcare.com

Avoid direct contact with mattress or blanket in circumstances where patient’s skin is compromised. Warnings The user should carefully read the instructions for use before using the Patient Warming System AlphaCore5 Controller, mattresses and blanket to become familiar with the function of the equipment. On a monthly basis, the user should check the functionality of the thermal cut out by following the instructions in Section 9. This functional test must not be used when a patient is in contact with the warming accessory. Do not use the Patient Warming System if there is any sign of damage. Ensure the surface integrity of the mattresses and/or blanket and replace if necessary. Do not use the Patient Warming System in the presence of flammable anaesthetic gases or oxygen enriched atmospheres (zone of high risk) as these may pose an explosion hazard. Do not position the AlphaCore5 Controller in the path of a direct X-ray beam (mattresses and blanket are radiolucent and their performance will not be affected by X-ray activity). The time for the mattresses and blanket to reach a set temperature of 37°C from ambient (23°C ± 2°C) will vary depending on the size, with a maximum estimated time of 30 minutes for the smallest to 45 minutes for the largest (these may increase over the lifetime of the product). The AlphaCore5 Controller displays the heated element temperature, not the patient contact temperature. Whilst these may be very similar the actual contact surface may be between 1 and 3°C lower than the displayed temperature.

700-307 Revision: 8

Patient Warming System Instructions for Use

The AlphaCore5 Controller has an alarm system with an interruption of power supply mains alarm condition. Do not use the blanket/mattresses with any AlphaCore5 Controller or connection cables other than those supplied with the system, or approved by Inspiration Healthcare Limited.

Pooling of surgical preparation solutions under the patient is specifically contraindicated, due to risk of skin irritation. Do not allow surgical skin preparation solution to pool under the patient. The AlphaCore5 Controller is only compatible with the following patient warming accessories: IHC-OTM1

If disconnection from the mains power should be necessary, the IEC mains lead should be detached from the AlphaCore5 Controller or from the mains socket.

Partial covering of the mattress/blanket device by pillows or other items having good insulating properties may impair the heating performance of the device.

In the event of a power failure, use a back-up Power Supply such as a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) or Institutional back-up generator.

Mattresses and blanket should be used flat and unfolded.

The mattresses/blanket are not to be wrapped around the patient. Ensure the surface of the mattress or blanket has no folds or creases and check that the surface is not damaged prior to placing on the operating table or trolley. Do not use if there is any damage, perforation or wear. Do not partially cover the mattresses with insulating materials like pillows/blankets. It is important to ensure that the mattress is firmly secured and that the straps cannot slide off the operating table brackets’ in relation to the operating theatre mattress. No part or accessory to the Patient Warming System can be maintained or serviced while the system is in use. To avoid the risk of electric shock this equipment must only be connected to an electrical supply with a protected earth.

The Patient Warming System is not sterile. Where necessary the user should take appropriate precautions to protect the sterile field. Inspiration Healthcare Limited W inspiration-healthcare.com

Mattresses and blanket can be used with direct patient contact or separated with a layer of fabric. Channels which are not in use should be left covered.

4. System Description/Application Disclaimers

AlphaCore5 Controller

Inspiration Healthcare Limited assumes no responsibility for the use or reliability of its Patient Warming System AlphaCore5 Controller, mattresses or blanket if they are not used correctly as a system in conjunction with appropriate accessory mattresses, blanket and AlphaCore5 Controllers authorised for use by Inspiration Healthcare Limited.

The AlphaCore5 Controller is a precision temperature Controller to be used only in conjunction with the low voltage, electrically heated Inspiration Healthcare Limited branded blanket/mattresses.

Inspiration Healthcare Limited makes no warranty of any kind with regard to other manufacturer’s Controller , mattress or blanket applications that are created to be used in conjunction with Inspiration Healthcare Limited devices by the user. This document contains confidential and proprietary information that is protected by copyright. All rights are reserved. Any unauthorised copying, storage, reproduction or translation of this document in any form is strictly prohibited. User Profile Designed for use by, or under the supervision of, a registered medical professional (Doctor, Midwife Nurse or Practitioner) in the operating room, recovery room, anaesthetic room, intensive care, emergency department, and/or medical, obstetric, maternity and surgical wards.

Mains voltage is supplied to the AlphaCore5 Controller via an IEC socket and IEC mains lead. There is a device on/off button at the top of the unit and a touchscreen interface along with the active/alarm bar which illuminates when power is connected, and the on/off button is pressed. At the top is a carrying handle and to the rear is a clamp to allow the unit to be mounted on an IV pole, anaesthetic trolley or Medi-rail. At the front of the unit is a touchscreen GUI (Graphical User Interface) (see Figure 2) control panel from which all the functions can be accessed. There are five yellow ODU-style connection points, three at the front and one on either side to allow for the connection of up to five accessories: mattresses in combination with blanket. The connection cables are provided for mattresses/blanket in a number of lengths and configurations. There is a blue ODU-style connector on the right-hand side of the device for a patient temperature probe. There is an IEC socket on the left-hand side of the device for mains power input. The AlphaCore5 Controller input is protected by two 3Amp fuses which are accessible on the side of the unit underneath the IEC socket (for qualified service personnel only). The AlphaCore5 Controller provides a 26Vdc supply to the mattresses/blanket and receives temperature information back. The temperature setting is controlled and indicated on the GUI. When the mattresses/blanket are warming up the channel indicator will be blue, if passively cooling from a

higher set temperature to a lower one the channel indicator will be amber and green when at the set temperature.

A pressure relief pad is integrated into the mattress underneath the flexible warming surface to work in conjunction with the operating table mattress. This may help reduce the incidence of pressure sores, without any attenuation of the warming performance. Integral straps are used to retain the mattress in-situ.

The blanket is designed to operate over the patient and constructed in the same manner as the mattresses, but without the pressure relief pad which is replaced by a soft insulating material.

Figure 2 - AlphaCore5 Controller GUI

The maximum working power output is equivalent to controlling two full size mattresses (IHC-OTM1) irrespective of configuration (170 watts). There is no active cooling with this device, reduction in accessory temperature is passive and will not decrease below ambient. Mattresses and Blanket Mattresses must be fitted with the marked side uppermost, and the plain surface facing downwards. The blanket is to be placed over the patient with the writing uppermost, away from the patient. Mattresses are available in various sizes and are only designed to operate under the patient. They provide an even temperature over the whole surface and are extremely flexible. The basic construction of mattresses across the range is the same. The mattresses are water and solvent resistant and have been tested for bio-compatibility to allow skin contact during use. All seams are fully sealed by RF Welding.

Inspiration Healthcare Limited W inspiration-healthcare.com

On initial start-up, if the ambient temperature is low, the mattress/blanket will take longer to achieve the desired temperature. If the desired temperature is not achieved within the defined warming up time, there will be a visual and audible indication. Should this happen, the AlphaCore5 Controller will continue to power up the mattress/blanket until the desired temperature is achieved. The mattresses/blanket contain a special conductive heating material and will not cause any environmental heating. The heat emitted by this material will only be felt by the user/patient when applying pressure or weight to the mattress. It is normal that the mattresses/blanket do not feel particularly warm to the touch when left uncovered. The AlphaCore5 Controller monitors temperature and when the mattress/blanket reaches the desired temperature the AlphaCore5 Controller will maintain this automatically. If the maximum allowed temperature is exceeded, a visual warning indicator will be displayed, and the over-temperature alarm will sound. An internal safety cut-out system will operate if any fault condition causes the mattress/blanket to exceed a temperature of 41°C.
