Medical: Patient Care and Surgical Devices
Patient care equipment represents types of medical equipment that are directly involved in the care of a patient. For example, blood and IV warmers may be used for a combination of patient comfort, faster recovery and to accelerate the rate of a transfusion. Medical devices used for any invasive or non-invasive surgical procedure are classified as surgical instruments. Control of the thermal and other processes may be critical to the wellbeing and safety of the patients. Keeping the body close to 37°C (98.6°F) is a requirement for many applications. Watlow thermal component solutions include ULTRAMIC™ 600 advanced ceramic heaters, flexible heaters, cartridge heaters or other heaters that can be designed and manufactured to the equipment's mechanical and electrical isolation characteristic. Since patient safety is paramount, Watlow safety limit controllers are commonly used in equipment.
