Patent number: 8491645Abstract: A multifunction warming device for perioperative use includes a clinical garment and two convective warming apparatuses supported on an inside surface of the clinical garment. A first convective apparatus is disposed transversely in an upper portion of the clinical garment, running between sleeves of the clinical garment. The second convective apparatus is disposed longitudinally in a lower portion of the clinical garment and has separately inflatable sections, each for enabling a particular mode of warming.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Shad N. Lindrud, Gary R. Maharaj, Carol J. Panser, Mark J. Scott, Teryl L. Woodwick Sides

Patent number: 8313519Abstract: A multifunction warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus disposed to provide therapeutic warming of a patient's upper body during surgery. The warming device includes a clinical garment with an elongate convective apparatus supported on the inside of the garment, transversely to the garment, and running between its sleeves. The positioning of the convective apparatus in the clinical garment locates it against the chest of a patient wearing the garment and permits it to be deployed and used on the patient's upper body during and after surgery without removal of the clinical garment from the patient or removal of the convective apparatus from the clinical garment.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Shad N. Lindrud, Gary R. Maharaj, Carol J. Panser, Mark J. Scott, Teryl L. Woodwick Sides

Publication number: 20110046551Abstract: A fluid warming cassette system in which the cassette has a stiffening frame structure and an integral handle is provided to support a parenteral fluid container. The fluid container is desirably thin to minimize heat exchange inefficiencies. The frame structure permits the thin fluid container to be inserted into the narrow space between fixed position warming plates of a warming unit. The frame structure has a quadrilateral shape with sides and ends. The fluid container is attached, at its periphery to the sides and ends of the frame structure, within the quadrilateral shape. Part of the frame structure is formed into a handle to assist in both the insertion and removal of the cassette from a warming unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2010Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicant: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Scott D. Augustine, Scott A. Entenman, Keith J. Leland, Gary R. Maharaj, Teryl L. Woodwick-Sides

Patent number: 7010221Abstract: A fluid warming cassette with a stiffening frame structure and a key mechanism is provided to support a parenteral fluid container. The fluid container is desirably thin to minimize heat exchange inefficiencies. The frame structure permits the thin fluid container to be inserted into the narrow space between fixed position warming plates of a warming unit. The frame structure has a quadrilateral shape with sides and ends. The fluid container is attached, at its periphery to the sides and ends of the frame structure, within the quadrilateral shape. The key mechanism prevents the cassette from being inserted upside down or backwards in a warming unit. Part of the frame structure may be formed into a handle to assist in both the insertion and removal of the cassette from a warming unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Scott D.
