VHB Veterinary Forced-Air Warming System

Product Overview

The VHB is a veterinary forced-air warming system. The main unit heats and drives air through an extendable hose into a reusable warming blanket, distributing heat evenly across the patient’s body surface for heat preservation or active warming.

Temperature is set from 32.0 °C to 41.0 °C in 0.1 °C steps, with four one-touch presets, 5-level airflow, and a temperature key-lock that prevents changes once warming starts. Dual hardware and software protection with a 50 ± 5 °C hardware forced power-off, plus plasma air purification, make it suitable for the operating room, recovery, and hospital ward.

Key Features

• Temperature control 32.0–41.0 °C (95.0–105.8 °F) in 0.1 °C steps, deviation < ±1 °C
• Four quick-set keys for 35 °C, 37 °C, 39 °C, and 41 °C
• 5-level adjustable airflow to match patient size and ambient conditions
• Triple temperature protection: dual hardware plus software, with hardware forced power-off at 50 ± 5 °C
• Temperature key-lock prevents set-point changes after start-up
• Two operating modes: natural (ambient) air and temperature-controlled warming
• Plasma air purification of the delivered airflow
• Warm-up time ≤ 4 minutes; rated for continuous operation
• Alarms for overheat, low temperature, no operation, and fan error; 3-level alarm volume with 2-minute mute
• Two reusable blanket types: 120 × 60 cm and 60 × 60 cm

Visual Evidence & Media

Technical Specifications

Clinical Applications

• Prevention of intraoperative hypothermia in canine and feline surgical patients
• Active rewarming during anesthetic recovery
• Treatment of hypothermia in hospitalized, critically ill, and neonatal small-animal patients
• Thermal support during prolonged imaging or dental procedures under anesthesia

Workflow & Operating Notes

• Place the reusable blanket under or over the patient and connect it to the main unit with the extendable hose (up to 3 m)
• Select natural air mode or temperature control mode, then set the target temperature or use a 35 / 37 / 39 / 41 °C quick key
• Adjust airflow across 5 levels to suit patient size and room conditions
• Engage the temperature key-lock to prevent set-point changes during the procedure
• Monitor elapsed warming time on the display; the counter resets on power cycle
• Requires AC 220 V, 50/60 Hz mains and a protective earth connection (Class I equipment)

Why Choose the VHB

• Workflow efficiency: quick-set temperature keys, ≤ 4-minute warm-up, and a key-lock let staff set warming once and focus on the procedure
• Clinical accuracy: 0.1 °C setting resolution, < ±1 °C deviation, and layered over-temperature protection deliver controlled, consistent warming
• Practice economics: reusable blankets in two sizes avoid per-case disposable blanket costs

Warranty & Support

Warranty terms for the main unit are confirmed at the time of order. Probes, cuffs, cables and other accessories follow standard wear-item terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature range does the VHB deliver?

32.0 °C to 41.0 °C (95.0 °F to 105.8 °F), adjustable in 0.1 °C steps, with quick keys for 35, 37, 39, and 41 °C.

How is the patient protected against overheating?

Dual hardware and software protection monitors temperature in real time, and a hardware circuit forces power-off at 50 ± 5 °C. Overheat and low-temperature alarms are also provided.

Are the blankets disposable?

No. The VHB uses reusable warming blankets, available in 120 × 60 cm and 60 × 60 cm. Two blankets are supplied as standard.

Can it run through a long procedure?

Yes. The unit is rated for continuous operation and displays elapsed warming time up to 99:59:59.

What power supply does it require?

AC 220 V, 50/60 Hz, with 1200 VA power consumption.
