Select an appropriate catheter
size for the intended flow rate.

Using aseptic technique, make
patient connection without
entrapping air.
•
Adjust the roller clamp to the
desired flow rate.
•
Secure the system in a
horizontal position, on a flat
surface near the patient
using
bed sheet clamp ensuring that
there is no strain on the patient
line.
•
If a longer administration set is
desired, it should be no longer
than 6 inches for optimal
thermal transfer. Use of longer
set will result in some line
cooling from heater to patient.
•
The preferred position, of the
Heater Unit, is at or below the
