Warming units designed in multiple configurations and including a wide variety of accessories according the intended devices, materials, or solutions to be heated. These units typically consist of a cabinet with appropriate racks, a heating system (e.g., electric resistor, steam tubes), temperature controls, and overheat alarms. Multipurpose warming units may be used to warm solutions (e.g., peritoneal dialysate, irrigation solutions), bedpans, and blankets; they are also used for other heating needs in the hospital, such as in surgery, obstetrics, and emergency rooms.
