NELLCOR WarmTouch Patient Warming System Analysis Report

Device Identification

The device examined in the visuals is a convective (forced-air) patient warming system used for medical purposes, which maintains the patient’s body temperature by heating air. The product consists of a main body, a control panel, and a flexible hose that provides air transfer.

Brand and Model

Upon detailed examination of the blue control label on the front of the product and the embossments on the plastic body, the following identification details have been determined:

• Brand: NELLCOR
• Product Series / Model: WarmTouch (Patient Warming System)

On the front panel of the device, the brand’s logo and name are clearly visible as “NELLCOR,” and the model name as “WarmTouch.” From the body design, it is understood that the product is one of the older generation WarmTouch series models (e.g., 5000 series casing type).

Originality

The placement of the logos on the device, the arrangement of the function buttons on the front panel (low, medium, high-temperature settings), and the characteristic white, robust plastic casing structure indicate that the product is an original NELLCOR production.

Areas of Use

NELLCOR WarmTouch is used especially in operating rooms, post-anesthesia care units (PACU), or intensive care units; before, during, and after surgical operations to maintain patients’ body temperature at normal levels (to prevent hypothermia). The device is designed to deliver the hot air it produces to specially designed patient warming blankets.

Quantity Information

The visual shows 1 (one) patient warming device unit and 1 (one) integrated air hose.

General Condition

The device is in used condition in terms of its general state. It should be evaluated as “second-hand.” Although its mechanical integrity is intact, it is observed that there is a need for visual cleaning and maintenance.

Physical Deformations

During the physical examination, the following points are noteworthy:

• Hose Stains: The most prominent physical issue is the yellow/brown discoloration in the middle section of the device’s white air hose. These marks appear to be adhesive residue from a previously wrapped tape or a color change due to friction.
• Casing Surface: Although slight dirtiness and age-related discoloration are visible on the device’s plastic body, no major cracks, fractures, or dents that would impede operation have been detected on the body.

Electronic and Mechanical Components

As a result of the visual analysis, the technical details are as follows:

• Control Panel: The button group located on the blue label on the front face of the device is visible. Icons indicating temperature settings (Low, Medium, High, and Boost) are legible.
• Power Switch: A black on/off (rocker switch) is located on the lower right side and appears physically sound.
• Air Outlet: The hose connection point is securely located on the top part of the device.

Accessories and Cables

The device’s main accessory, the “accordion”-type flexible air hose, is present. However, heating blankets or specific connection adapters attached to the end of the hose are not clearly distinguishable in the visual. A portion of the white power cable, which supplies power to the device, is visible at the rear of the device.

Label and Warning Information

Two main groups of labels have been identified on the device:

• Front Control Label: The phrase “WarmTouch – Patient Warming System,” the brand logo, temperature setting icons, and a warning triangle symbol (caution sign) are present.
• Top Usage Instruction: Below the device’s handle, there is a pictorial label schematically showing usage instructions and how to connect the hose to the blanket.

Potential Failure Risk

The device generally has a robust structure. However, the stains on the hose may indicate hardening of the hose material or hygienic issues. While it cannot be determined from the visual if the hose has holes, deformation in this section is a potential risk point that could lead to heat loss. When the electronic panel’s functionality is assessed only visually without testing, no excessive wear is observed on the surface of the buttons, which is a positive sign.
