The 3M
Six styles of warming set are available in the UK:
One neonatal/paediatric (KVO-6L/hr), two standard flow (KVO-9L/hr) and three high flow
(KVO-30L/hr) disposable sets to meet your fluid warming needs.
All warming sets incorporate an air capture system, to reduce the risk of an air emboli being infused into the patient.
All high flow sets are equipped with an auto-venting bubble trap, that is capable of venting up to 3 litres
of air per minute.
Sets can only be inserted into the warming unit one way, this prevents incorrect placement.
All sets can be pressurised to 300 mmHg.
All sets are packed sterile and are latex and DEHP free.

Stand alone pressure infuser
When mounting the pressure infuser to an IV
pole, position it no higher than 142cm (56") off
the ground, on to a heavy based five footed
IV pole. This will reduce the risk of the IV pole
tipping and potentially causing injury
to someone.
Secure the infuser to the IV pole by tightening
the two clamps on the back of the unit and the
power cable, using the hook-and-loop strap.
Never infuse fluids if air bubbles are present
in the fluid line, air embolism may result.
The pressure infuser can be used with all
