Device Description

The BioWarm™ represents a modification to the Warmsystem currently in use with the OSStaple" bone staple system. The BioWarm" has an on/off switch and two user adjusted controls. A user adjusted current and user adjusted time controls are on the front of the console. The controls are set to the requirements of a specific staple size and configuration. The BioWarm" gives both visual and audible indications of current delivery and an audible signal upon automatic completion of current delivery. The BioWarm", on the electrode handle, also provides visual indication of positive contact between the electrode and staple to be heated and visual indication of actual current flow. Current is activated with a button switch on the handle of the BioWarm™ electrode and will cease if the button is released prior to the automatic cessation by the circuitry
