Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a convective warmer capable of optimally inflating blankets of various dimensions.SOLUTION: The convective warmer is capable of providing air to the various blankets at flow rates that optimally inflate the blankets. The convection warmer may have multiple fixed air flow rates each selectable by a user via switches 26 either electronically or mechanically. For the electronic selection of a given flow rate, a motor 6 is used. To vary the flow rate mechanically, a valve is controlled. In addition, a feedback circuit that maintains the pressure sensed at the outlet of the warmer to a preset pressure is used.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a convective warmer to which blankets of different dimensions may be connected, that is capable of providing air to the various blankets at flow rates that optimally inflate those blankets to achieve the optimal clinical result for the patients covered by those blankets.SOLUTION: The blanket connected to the warmer may range from a full size adult warming blanket to a pediatric or neonate warming blanket. There is provided on each blanket a code, marking or marker, to be read by a sensor(s) provided at the outlet of the warmer, that identifies the type of blanket when the blanket is coupled to the warmer. Consequently, heated air may be automatically output by the warmer to the blanket at the appropriate flow rate of that blanket to optimally inflate the blanket without any need for intervention by a user. In addition to being used to control the flow rate of the heated air, the code from the blanket may also be used to control the temperature of the heated air to be input to the blanket.

解决方案：连接到暖气机的毯子的范围可以从全尺寸成人保暖毯到儿科或新生儿暖气毯。 在每个毯子上提供要由加热器出口处设置的传感器读取的代码，标记或标记，其在毯子耦合到暖气机时识别毯子的类型。 因此，加热的空气可以以该毯子的适当流速自动输出到毯子，以最佳地使毯子充气，而不需要使用者干预。 除了用于控制加热空气的流量之外，来自橡皮布的代码也可以用于控制要输入到橡皮布的加热空气的温度。 版权所有（C）2012，JPO＆INPIT

For the electronic selection of a given flow rate, a motor adaptable to rotate a different speeds is used. To vary the flow rate mechanically, a valve is controlled to vary the amount of air that may pass to the blanket. Instead of different fixed flow rates, variable air flow rates, selectable by the user, may be used. Also, a feedback circuit that maintains the pressure sensed at the outlet of the warmer to a preset pressure may be used to eliminate the need for user intervention.

Abstract: A disposable warmer cartridge is used to heat fluids to be infused to the patient to prevent hypothermia in the patient. The cartridge has in its chamber a pair of spaced in parallel electrodes that have substantially the same dimension. When RF power is fed to the electrodes, an alternating electric field is generated between the electrodes to directly heat the fluid that is in the chamber. The heating of the fluid is achieved in a substantially instantaneous manner by controlling the energization of the electrodes through the distributed impedance of the electric field between the electrodes. Heat is readily controlled by modulating the RF power fed to the electrodes. Feedback to control the temperature of the fluid in the cartridge may be provided by non-contact and direct contact sensor(s).

Abstract: To reduce the amount of air input to a patient warming blanket, when the blanket is of a size that does not require the full amount of air output from a convective warmer for optimal pressurization, a regulator is provided to the inlet of the blanket to restrict the amount of air input to the blanket, thereby reducing the airflow rate to one that is appropriate for the optimal inflation or pressurization of the warming blanket. Respective regulators that allow different amounts of air under pressure to pass therethrough may be correspondingly fitted to blankets of different sizes and/or dimensions. Each regulator fitted to the inlet of the blanket may be configured in the form of an adapter with multiple orifices for passage of air, or a filter made of an air permeable material having a preselected porosity.
