Description of the NORM-O-TEMP
®
Hyperthermia System
Intended Use
The NORM-O-TEMP
®
Model 111Z hyperthermia system is intended to prevent hypothermia
during surgical procedures and to reduce cold discomfort before, during, and after a surgical
procedure. The thermal regulating system is used to keep a patient comfortable by maintaining
blanket/pad water temperature through conductive heat transfer. The water heated blankets
transfer the thermal energy to adult, pediatric, and infant (includes neonates) patients to keep a
patient at a comfortable temperature. The NORM-O-TEMP
®
system is composed of a heater,
circulating pump, and blankets/pads. It is intended for use by appropriately trained healthcare
professionals in clinical environments.
Intended Environment
The NORM-O-TEMP
®
hyperthermia system is used in the Operating room, Post Anesthesia Care
Units, Recovery rooms, Intensive Care Units and Emergency Rooms.
The NORM-O-TEMP
®
hyperthermia system is intended for use in ambient temperatures of 15°C
– 30°C (59°F – 86°F). The maximum contact surface temperature is 41°C (105.8°F).
