Inditherm Medical has issued an information concerning a recall of the electrically heated operating theatre blankets and mattresses, models OTM1, OTM2, GTM1, PTM1 and OTB. Repeated folding of the mattresses can cause internal damage to the heating element and result in patient burns. Products supplied after December 31st 2005, have an internal safety detection system which interrupts the power supply in the failure case. Systems manufactured before the December 31st 2005, are retrofitted accordingly.
