IOB Convective Warming System

Effective Warming Performance & Advanced Filtration Capabilities

The IOB 505 Convective Warming Unit is engineered to enable clinicians to maintain normothermia in their patients by creating a warm microclimate around the patient. When compared to the leading brand, the IOB System provides effective, multi-factor air filtration when it recirculates air in the operating room.

Description

A warm microclimate due to diffused airflow design

The IOB System’s warming unit combined with the blanket’s Diffused Airflow design effectively warms the patient
microclimate in order to maintain normothermia in perioperative settings. The patient is warmed as air diffuses
through the blanket’s nanopourous fabric into the microclimate reducing heat escaping into the environment
as well as blanket lofting.

Multi-factor air filtration 

The combination of the warming unit’s HEPA filter and the advanced filtration capabilities of the proprietary IOB blanket design, can give peace of mind when it comes to recirculating air in the OR.
When tested by an independent laboratory, IOB blankets are 99.4% efficient at filtering aerosolized bacteria, significantly more efficient compared to 58% by the leading brand (99% CI, 35%-47% more efficient;
p < 0.001). Additionally, viral filtration efficiency tests showed similar results.

Maintaining Normothermia is Critical for Optimising Surgical Outcomes

In a surgical setting, inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (core temperature <36°C) can dramatically increase the risk for surgical complications.
Active warming is needed to counteract the negative effects of anaesthesia on resting core body temperature and convective warming technology continues to be the standard of care.
