  • Page 6: Enflow Iv Fluid/Blood Warming System Description

    IV Fluid/Blood Warming System Description The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System consists of the enFlow Warmer (Model 100 series), the enFlow Controller (Model 120 series), the enFlow Disposable Cartridge with or without IV Extension Set (Model 200 series). Within seconds, this Warming System delivers normothermic infusate to the patient at flow rates of Keep Vein Open (KVO) to 200 mL/min when input fluid temperature is 20 °C.

  • Page 7: Warnings

    WARNINGS  All IV fluid bags must be vented of air per IV fluid manufacturers’ directions prior to connecting to the infusion set. Standard IV line protocols for priming the complete infusion set, the enFlow Disposable Cartridge, and the extension set must be followed before connecting to a patient.
  • Page 8  Do not block the fan in the Controller as this may cause overheating.  Although the Warmer has been tested to insure it will survive a drop of 1 m (3.28 ft.), care should be taken that the device is not dropped to reduce the potential of damage. ...
