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 prod-
ucts, 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: This is for
room temperature fluids only). It takes less than 2 minutes to warm up to the 41°C set point
temperature.
Disposable blood/fluid sets are available for standard and high flow applications, and for
irrigation 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.
Warnings and precautions
DANGER
Explosion hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
WARNING
•Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the warming unit case.
• Do not substitute other devices for the Ranger warming unit or Ranger disposable sets.
Thermal or electrical injury or device damage may occur.
•Never infuse fluids if air bubbles are present in the fluid line, as air embolism may result.
• 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 Customer Service.
CAUTION
Do not immerse the blood/fluid warming unit. Wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth.
