Ranger Blood/Fluid Warming
English 3
Introduction
The Ranger blood/fluid warming system includes a warming unit and a disposable IV blood/fluid
administration set� The Ranger warming system is designed to warm blood, blood products, and
liquids and deliver these at flow rates from KVO to 500 ml/min� At these flow rates, the device
maintains fluid output temperatures ranging from 33°C to 41°C (Note: Output temperatures are
dependant on input fluid temperatures and flow rate)� It takes less than 2 minutes to warm up to
the 41°C set point temperature�
Two disposable blood/fluid sets are available: one for standard flow applications and one for high
flow applications� Disposable sets are sterile, latex-free, single-use-only items and are designed to be
used with the reusable warming unit�
The Ranger warming unit is designed to be mounted to an IV pole� A handle located on the top
of the unit makes transport easy� When mounted to the IV pole, the unit fits easily above the Bair
Hugger warming unit�
Indications for use
The Ranger warming system is intended to warm blood, blood products, and liquids�

•
Ranger blood/fluid disposable sets� Thermal or electrical injury or device damage may occur�
Do not continue use of the unit if the over-temperature alarm continues to sound and the
•
temperature does not return to the set point temperature� Immediately stop fluid flow and
discard the disposable set� Have the warming unit tested by a biomedical technician or call
Arizant Healthcare Inc� technical service�
Never infuse fluids if air bubbles are present in the fluid line, as air embolism may result�
•
Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or
•
with oxygen or nitrous oxide�
caution
Do not immerse the warming unit� Wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth�
•
To prevent tipping, clamp the Ranger blood/fluid warming unit to an I�V� pole with a minimum
•
14" (35�6 cm) radius wheelbase and at a height no higher than 44" (112 cm)� Failure to do so may
result in damage to the product�
