The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System consists of three products:
the Warmer (Model 100 series), the Controller/AC Power Pack (Model
120 series), and the Disposable Cartridge (Model 200 series), 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/AC Power Pack 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.
Fluids such as Normal Saline, Dextrose, Dextron, Packed RBC's
"Keep Vein Open" refers to an intravenous infusion rate defined as
