Electric pad whole-body heating system

An electric pad whole-body heating system is a medical device designed to maintain or restore a patient’s core body temperature by applying controlled warmth through external heating pads. These systems are commonly used in critical care settings like operating rooms, ICUs, neonatal units, and recovery areas to prevent hypothermia during surgery or illness, especially in vulnerable patients like newborns or those under anesthesia.

These devices are typically regulated as active medical devices due to their electrical components and temperature control functions. They are often supplied as a complete system, including the heating pad and control unit, with variations in size to fit different patient demographics. Compliance with safety standards for electrical safety and thermal management is essential for their use in clinical environments.
