a malfunction has occured.
Introduction
The use of room temperature (70ºF/21ºC) IV fluids in a patient suffering from shock,
or susceptibility to hypothermia should be avoided. Ideally fluids should be
administered as close to body temperature as possible for better therapeutic results.
Blood products are refrigerated or frozen prior to administration.
Application
It is intended to provide continuous heating during the infusion and blood transfusion.
Working Principle
The Jorvet IV Fluid and Blood Transfusion Warmer is an indirect heating device (dry
warmer). The IV fluids are heated as the fluids pass through the channel of the
warmer. The temperature can be set between 32⁰C ~ 42⁰C (89.6⁰F ~ 107.6⁰F. The
heating control board will work upon the set temperature.
Components and Function
The Jorvet IV Fluid and Blood Transfusion Warmer is made up of the following
parts:
▪
Main control system: This system controls the whole unit by managing and
processing the system
▪
Heating device: The heating device is made up of a heating sheet and heating
exchanger; this allow the heat to move through the exchanger to heat the fluid
▪
Detection sensor: This includes a temperature detection sensor
▪
Alarm System: The alarm includes an audio and visual alarm
▪
Input and Display: This allows for the input of the heating parameter,
temperature, alarm message and other parameters.
