The °M Warmer System is indicated for use to warm blood, blood products, colloids and crystalloid solutions prior to parenteral administration. It is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in hospital, clinical and field environments to help prevent hypothermia. The field environment includes road, rotary and fixed-wing ambulances.The °MEQU °M Warmer System Starter Kit consists of three components: The °M Warmer (a single-patient use, disposable IV fluid / blood warmer unit – primary DI number 05700002076816), the Power Pack+ (a multi-patient, reusable, rechargeable battery pack for powering the °M Warmer – primary DI number 05745000140046) and the Charger (a reusable charger for recharging the battery pack – primary DI number 05700002076847).
An electrically-powered device 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.
