Cincinnati Sub-Zero Products Inc: Model 134, WarmAir Convective Warming Device, 115V, Part #86180, Device Listing #D111865, The WarmAir 134 is used in conjunction with a single-patient use blanket to warm a patient's body temperature. The device draws in room air through a filter by means of an electric blower. It heats the air to the desired temperature by controlling the air temperature entering a flexible connecting hose, and conveys it to the disposable blanket (i.e. FilteredFlow Blankets, Warming Tube) in contact with the patient, in order to warm the patient. This device provides a continuous flow of heated air as a means of warming patients suffering the common, but significant problems of hypothermia. The system can be used in Post Anesthesia Care Units (PACUs), Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Surgical Intensive Care Units (SICUs), Emergency Rooms (ERs), Operating Rooms (ORs), or any other departments or hospital facilities requiring patient temperature management.
