Description
The Level 1 ® H-1200 Fast Flow Fluid Warmer (Fluid Warmer) is an I.V. fluid
warmer with pressure chambers, air detection, and automatic clamping
capability. I.V. fluid and/or blood products are warmed through the use of a
sealed heat exchanger through which a recirculating solution flows. Pressure
Chambers apply pressurization and deliver the fluids at a fast flow rate. This
non-invasive method employs single-use, disposable administration sets that
include a Gas Vent/Filter Assembly and Heat Exchanger.
The Air Detector/Clamp monitors for the presence of air in the disposable
Gas Vent/Filter Assembly. When air is detected in the Gas Vent/Filter
Assembly, the Air Detector/Clamp closes off the patient line and alerts
operators to the presence of air with audible and visual alarms. An ultrasonic
signal continually passes through the fluid filled Gas Vent/Filter Assembly. As
a bolus of air displaces the fluid in the Gas Vent/Filter Assembly, the
ultrasonic signal is broken and the clamp closes, stopping the air before it
enters the patient line. Audible and visual alarms are activated, notifying the
user that the fluid flow has stopped. Clearing the bolus of air and restoring
the fluid flow are quickly accomplished without disconnecting from the
patient.
