Blanket Warming Unit
WB1000
General Description
The Blanket Warming Unit model WB1000 is a revolutionary electrical medical device used
to keep patients warm during anaesthesia and surgery. The device comprises a reusable
controller and disposable, single-use blankets.
The Blanket Warming Unit Model WB1000 is used to maintain normal body temperature
during surgical procedures. The clinical staff who use the device is anaesthetists, anaesthetic
assistants, operating department practitioners and nurses in theatre, the recovery room and
the critical care unit.
The Blanket Warming Unit Model WB1000 is the world's first closed warming system,
using conduction and radiation warming to prevent and treat preoperative hypothermia. It includes
two primary components: a warming unit and a disposable blanket. The Warming Blanket Unit is
connected to a single-use blanket by an innovative coaxial flexible hose. The coaxial flexible hose
contains an inner and outer hose; warm air from the warming unit passes through the inner hose
and into the blanket. Once the warmed air reaches the blanket, it will move with the flow path of the
blanket, and is then recycled to the warming unit via the outer hose. The closed warming blanket is
disposable and airtight.
Carefully read the operating instructions before use.
Failure to follow may cause severe injuries.
