Smiths Medical introduces new temperature management system

Smiths Medical’s new Level 1 high-flow convective warmer is now available as a quiet, simple and safe thermal-care solution for keeping patients in normothermia through every stage of surgery, which according to research can improve outcomes. The Level 1 convective warmer is designed to help hospitals increase efficiencies, reduce costs and improve patient outcomes and offers three core benefits.

According to a statement from Smith’s Medical, the Level 1 convective warmer provides the following core benefits:

• Quiet: Noisy environments contribute to communication errors. The Level 1 convective warmer emits less than 42 decibels (noise level of a library), which is significantly quieter than other convective warmers.
• Simple: With no calibration required, the intuitive design allows caregivers to focus on the patient while maintaining normal body temperature. With the push of a button, caregivers can choose from four temperature settings.
• Safe: The Level 1 convective warmer provides precise, hose-end temperature management within one degree Celsius. A safety circuit provides an independent means of shutoff, and over-temperature alerts at each setting help keep patients safe and comfortable.
