The LifeWarmer Quantum Battery is an extremely powerful and intelligent battery in a small, lightweight package- weighing only 16 oz. The Quantum Battery powers the whole warming system with state-of-the-art Lithium Polymer cells harnessing 44 Volts of electrical potential. The battery, fully charged, is able to warm and maintain up to 2 units ( 900mL +/- 100mL) of cold (4C) blood products or IV solutions to a pre-set temperature of 100.4°F (38+/- 2C) at a flow rate of 100 mL/min (depending on the ambient temperature). Or, approximately 1700 mL of 20C IV solution to a set point of 38C +/- 2C at a flow rate of 200 mL/min.The Quantum Battery is built for use in the most austere and tactical environments. It is IP67 rated for water resistance and is the only portable fluid warming battery that has a disable feature on the audible alarm for tactical considerations. The Quantum Life Warmer Battery is rechargeable with a service life of 500 charge/discharge cycles.It is important to keep the Quantum Battery charged and ready for use. Always re-charge after deployment, even if the battery was not fully discharged. The battery can be kept plugged into the Quantum Charger, as the intelligent Battery senses charge demand and will charge as needed but never overcharge. The Battery has a “Status” button to check the state of charge at any moment, with 3 colored LEDs to inform the user about the condition of the battery.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device, which may include rechargeable batteries, designed for in-line heating of banked blood, blood products, intravenous (IV) solutions, and irrigation fluids, typically from about 4ºC to near body temperature (i.e., 35 to 37ºC) before infusion, through the conduction of heat. The device usually includes a surface heat exchanger (e.g., heated dry plate) for the conduction of heat to the infusion blood/fluid via a disposable set (e.g., tubing or pouch); it also includes temperature controls and/or alarms. It is typically mounted on an IV pole under the infusion bag; it does not infuse blood/fluid.
