  • Patent number: 11491048
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming system. The warming system includes a light device having a light source configured to be positioned proximate to a patient support having a patient support surface. The light source can also be configured to generate infrared radiation. The warming system can also include a flexible sheet having a first side configured to reflect at least some of the generated infrared radiation from the light device toward a portion of the patient support surface.

  • Publication number: 20190060106
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclose related to a system. The system includes a warming device having at least a first zone and a second zone and a sensor. The system also includes a controller that includes one or more processor circuits configured to receive a first sensor reading from the sensor corresponding to a first zone, wherein the first sensor reading corresponds to a first heat transfer rate. The one or more processor circuits are configured to determine whether the sensor reading is sufficient and increase a first heat transfer rate to a second heat transfer rate in the first zone in response to the sensor reading being insufficient.

  • Publication number: 20190060107
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a convective blanket that includes an air permeable upper sheet having a periphery. The convective blanket includes a lower sheet bonded to the upper sheet with a peripheral seal proximate to the periphery of the upper sheet to form an interior space therein between the upper and lower sheets. The convective blanket includes a wing portion partially surrounded by a portion of the peripheral seal and a body portion. Additional aspects relate to a system including the convective blanket and a method that uses the convective blanket.
