BLOOD/FLUID WARMER (3M RANGER 245), 230V 50/60Hz
Valid Article
BLOOD/FLUID WARMER (3M RANGER 245)
Definition
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed for heating of blood products or intravenous (IV) solutions, typically from about 4ºC to near body temperature (i.e. 35 to 40ºC) before infusion, through the conduction of heat.
The device includes a surface heat exchanger for the conduction of heat to the infusion blood/fluid via a disposable tubing set.
The warmer is used to minimize adverse thermal reactions in the patient.
It is mounted with a clamp on an infusion stand under the infusion bag or on a normed rail. It does not infuse blood/fluid.
Specifications
Device that heats blood products or solutions by passing through the warming sets before IV administration to the patients.

Instructions for use
Read carefully the user manual
Associated protocol

Associated equipment
- Temperature probes: see related articles
Precautions for Use
The length of the tube between the device and the patient must be at least 40 cm, and the tube must not be stretched.
The ambient operating temperature must be in the range of 10° to 30°C.
Maintenance
Cleaning and disinfection:
- Can be cleaned and disinfected with a detergent/disinfectant for surfaces/non-invasive medical equipment. Prepare use-solution in concentration required. Always read the label and product information before use. Do not mix with other products. Make sure to wet the surfaces completely, use a wipe or towel, keep them wet for the whole exposure time.
- Do not disinfect the device with steam (i.e. in autoclaves), hot air or thermochemical cleaning solutions
Periodic inspections:
Must be carried out at least every 12 months
- checking the warm-up period
- checking the control temperature
- checking the low temperature information signal
- checking the high temperature alarm
- visual check of general condition
- electrical safety
- visual check of general condition (TubeFlow)
- checking the control temperature (TubeFlow)
- over temperature control (TubeFlow)
Refer to the user manual for more details on how to carry out the checks mentioned above.
MSF requirements
Warming of high flow IV fluid and blood during trauma resuscitation or massive maternal haemorrhage.
Replaces the previous fluid warmer (EEMDBFWE1-- Biegler BW-685S) as it is inadequate for rapid and massive transfusions in trauma and maternal haemorrhage.
Hypothermia constitutes one of lethal triad in trauma management and massive transfusion. The Ranger Fluid Warming unit is capable of administering warmed IV fluid and blood at a very rapid rate (30 l/h).
