HotDog Underbody Warming Mattress + Return Electrode, 127 cm (50") U502Recalls & reported problems

Augustine Temperature Management LLC · The HotDog Warming Mattress + Return Electrode (“Mattress”) is part of a thermal regulating system, indicated for controlling patient temperature in adult patients. Mattresses utilize a flexible semi-conductive polymer fabric which warms the patient effectively within safe limits (controlled temperature, low watt density, low thermal mass) from a controller and sensor feedback loop. They are RF sealed in durable urethane shells designed to eliminate uncleanable crevices. Via a blue cable, they are powered with a low voltage floating isolated DC current, designed to safely operate in the most demanding clinical settings. Mattresses are available with cables which enable the mattress to function as a capacitive return electrode for electrosurgery for one or two ESUs. · Class 2

    There is over-molding that stabilizes the connection between the cable and cable-entry on the mattress. It turns out that after about a year of use, the connector cable on the mattress can experience the same type of deflection that caused the intermittent connection with the cables connecting to the ESU.
