DEVICE DESCRIPTION
HotDog Warming Mattresses, including OR table pad and table pad overlays (U1XX, U2XX and U3XX)
(“Warming Mattresses”) are components of the HotDog Temperature Management System (“System”) and
can be used with HotDog Controller Models WC5X or WC77, Warming Mattresses provide under-body
patient warming at a specified and uniform temperature. An internal temperature sensor provides output to the
Controller to maintain the specified temperature. Warming Mattress overlays, although not stand-alone
pressure-relief devices, include a built-in pressure relief pad and are water- and solvent-resistant. All seams
are fully sealed to allow for easy cleaning and disinfection.

Mattresses in the presence of flammable anesthetics or highly

Inspect System components prior to each use
for signs of damage or excessive wear such as cuts, holes, or
loose electrical connections or cold areas. If signs of wear are evident or if the warming device has been
subjected to extreme physical force (e.g. pinched by clamps or run over by carts), do not use the device
until it has been inspected by technical staff.
Do not
continue to use the System if the over-temperature indicator and/or any other alarms continue to
sound after reset. Refer to the “Alarms and Alerts” section of this manual for more information.
