The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System consists of three products:
the Warmer (No. 980100), the Controller (No. 980121), and the
Disposable Cartridge (No. 980200), which together form a system
designed to warm intravenous fluids and blood products helping
reduce hypothermic effects.
The Warmer is a small, lightweight, rugged fluid warmer that heats
blood, blood plasma, and intravenous fluids being delivered to the
patient's body within seconds from 20 ºC to 40 ºC through a flow rate
range of KVO to 200 mL/min.
The Controller displays a temperature readout in degrees C, as well as
containing a keypad, which controls the clock and the mute feature.
Additionally, it converts AC line power to 28 Volts DC, and is used as a
power source for the Warmer.
The Disposable Cartridge uses a sterile, single use component to be
used as an in-line component of an IV infusion set for the heating of
the fluids/blood being infused into the patient's body.
The Disposable Cartridge with IV Extension Set product contains the
same Disposable Cartridge described above. In addition, it includes a
sterile, single use IV extension set.
