enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System Description The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System consists of the enFlow Warmer (Model 100 series), the enFlow Controller (Model 120 series), the enFlow Disposable Cartridge with or without IV Extension Set (Model 200 series). Within seconds, this Warming System delivers normothermic infusate to the patient at flow rates of Keep Vein Open (KVO) to 200 mL/min when input fluid temperature is 20 °C. The Warmer is the reusable heating unit designed to work in conjunction with the Disposable Cartridge. Two multicolored light emitting diode (LED) indicators on the Warmer indicate its power status and the fluid/blood infusate temperature. The infusate within the Disposable Cartridge is warmed when in contact with the heating surface of the Warmer. This surface is heated by means of electrical resistance. The Warmer contains redundant temperature sensors to help ensure fluid temperature accuracy and reliability. It also includes two independent over-heating protectors. Continuous internal diagnostics monitor essential components and system parameters when heating fluid/blood. The Controller serves as a power supply for the Warmer unit. The Controller is designed to mount on an IV pole or sit on a table top. The front panel includes a Controller reading in degrees Celsius, as well as a keypad, which controls the clock and the mute feature. The Controller display is always shown “right-side-up”. Each Disposable Cartridge and the Disposable Cartridge with IV extension set are radiation sterilized and non-pyrogenic as well as latex and DEHP free. The Disposable Cartridge connects to the IV Extension Set or any infusion set employing standard luer connectors. Once primed, the Disposable Cartridge in conjunction with the Warmer and the Controller combine to complete the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System.
Indication for Use The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System’s intended use is for warming blood, blood products and intravenous solutions prior to administration. It is designed to be used by healthcare professionals in hospital, clinical and field environments to help prevent hypothermia.
Clinical and Training Information Operators must be trained to set up and deliver blood/ IV solutions in a medically approved manner, including aseptic techniques and standard hospital procedures. Use of the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System, when properly administered, will help to prevent hypothermia and the complications arising therefrom.

WARNINGS
All IV fluid bags must be vented of air per IV fluid manufacturers’ directions prior to connecting to the infusion set. Standard IV line protocols for priming the complete infusion set, the enFlow Disposable Cartridge, and the extension set must be followed before connecting to a patient. Care must be taken to ensure there is not sufficient air in the fluid bag and lines to cause an air embolism. The 'High Priority Alarm' is a flashing RED LED, a flashing RED Controller display, and an audible alarm, indicating that the infusate is over temperature. Stop the fluid flow, and slide the Warmer covers open to stop warming. If the above occurs, then replace the Warmer and contact Technical Support. The attending practitioner should remain within 4m of the patient when the device is in use to enable visualisation of the enFlow display and hear the audible high priority alarm. The Warmer contains magnets; do not operate within 15 cm (6 in.) of a pacemaker or other devices that may be sensitive to strong magnetic fields. The Disposable Cartridge may be a potential biohazard during or after use. Handle and dispose of in accordance with acceptable medical practice and applicable regulations. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Replace the fuses with only Bussmann® part # S500-5-R or equivalent. Bussmann® is registered in the United States or abroad by Cooper Industries, Inc. or its subsidiaries. The Disposable Cartridge should not be used for greater than 24 hours. Ensure that the Disposable Cartridge expiration date has not passed. If the IV line runs dry, disconnect the Disposable Cartridge from the Warmer. Re-prime the entire IV system using aseptic techniques. Ensure all the air is removed from both the line and the Disposable Cartridge. Replace the Disposable Cartridge in the Warmer. The enFlow Warmer is to be used only with approved enFlow power sources and the enFlow Disposable Cartridge. To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply main that is grounded. Should the need arise the device may be disconnected by the appliance coupler.
Cautions
Follow the AABB "Guidelines for the Use of Blood Warming Devices" (© 2006) which caution against warming when administering platelets, cryoprecipitate, or granulocyte suspensions. Some drugs or drug preparations may be sensitive to warming. As with any fluid or blood warming system, carefully review the drug manufacturer's literature for information about thermal sensitivity. The disposable cartridge contains aluminum. Review the preparation or solution manufacturer's instructions for use about chemical sensitivity. Do not affix, place or bind the Warmer directly to a patient during general use. Do not wrap the Warmer in towels, sheets, blankets or drapes. If the enFlow system is used for pre hospital transport or transfer to another facility o Do not use the Warmer Strap 980304EU during general use in the hospital environment. The Warmer heating surface and Disposable Cartridge can get quite warm when heating cold IV fluids/blood at high flow rates. Wait a few seconds after stopping the IV fluid/blood flow before removing the Disposable Cartridge. The Controller should only be plugged into a hospital grade outlet. Do not block the fan in the Controller as this may cause overheating.

Although the Warmer has been tested to insure it will survive a drop of 1 m (3.28 ft.), care should be taken that the device is not dropped to reduce the potential of damage. Do not clean with: o ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) or o abrasive cleaners. Do not sterilize the Warmer with: o steam sterilization (autoclave) or o dry heat. Do not disinfect or sterilize the Controller. Do not spray or pour cleaning solutions directly on the Controller. Do not allow cleaning solutions to accumulate on the Controller. When using the Controller mounted to an IV pole, it must be tightly secured on the pole no higher than 122 cm (48 in.) from the ground. The pole should have a base diameter of no less than 61 cm (24 in.). A Controller mounted too high on the IV pole may cause instability. IV pole accessories or the attachment of fluid bags may also cause instability. Normal wear and tear during use of the Warmer may cause the device to be susceptible to fluid ingress. Carefully inspect the heating surface of the Warmer for tears or foreign matter before each use and take out of service if necessary. Always secure the infusion set with the provided IV Line Clip on the Warmer power cable to prevent kinking in the line. Do not use a stiff bristle brush or sharp probe to remove foreign material. Do not use compressed air to dry. Avoid puncturing the heating surface. If damaged, remove the Warmer from service and replace immediately. This equipment is not intended for use in an oxygen rich environment. No modification of this equipment is allowed. Do not position the device in a way which makes it difficult to disconnect the device.

The parts list for each model is reflected below: Model 100 o Warmer o Warmer Cord Clip‡ Model 121 o Controller o Warmer Mount (Warmer Mount Instructions) Model 200 o Disposable Cartridge o IFU Model 202 o Disposable Cartridge with IV Extension Set o IFU All systems shipped with power cord and operators manual. ‡ Units shipped prior to 2012 may not contain the Warmer Cord Clip
To Begin Operation of the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System a) Place the Controller on a firm, level surface or on an IV pole with an outside dimension of no greater than 3.0 cm (1.25 in.) Two Controllers may also be mounted next to each other on an IV pole as shown below. The Controller’s display will have a “right-side-up” orientation regardless of its position.
b) Plug the Controller into a hospital grade outlet. c) Setting the clock to the local time is optional, but usually done on initial use. No changes in performance are affected by the clock’s setting. d) Connect the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warmer cable to the Controller. This action is accomplished in three steps: 1. Insert the male plug end of the Warmer into the female receptacle on the front face of the Controller. Push it in so that the plug cover is tight against the receptacle. 2. The plug and receptacle are “keyed” in both orientation and configuration. This feature ensures that the Warmer can only be plugged in properly. Additionally, it prevents other plug devices from fitting into this receptacle. 4400-0024 enFlow Operator’s Manual EN Rev. U 07/14

3. Turn right to lock. (See arrows on label.) e) The rear mounted I/0 (ON/OFF) switch on the Controller turns the power on and off. Switch the Controller to ON. Upon startup, the Controller conducts a self-test. The power indicator illuminates green, the Controller display flashes “enFlow”, a short audible “Beep” occurs, and the LED’s light up for about one (1) second. Note The Controller automatically switches for operation at either 115 VAC or 230 VAC f)
Open the covers on the Warmer by sliding them apart.
g) Connect the infusion set and or extension set to the Disposable Cartridge; then prime with fluid using standard medically approved protocols. Next, connect the infusion set to the patient and place the Disposable Cartridge into the Warmer. h) Completely close the covers on the Warmer by sliding them inward toward each other until the covers meet. Upon closing the covers, a short audible “Beep” occurs indicating that the Warmer self-test is being performed that confirms operation of temperature sensors and alarm indicators. After this process is complete, regulated power is delivered to the Warmer’s heating surface, which then begins heating the infusate through the Disposable Cartridge. Adjust the fluid flow to the desired rate. i)
Place the IV line in the IV Line clip in order to prevent it from kinking.

Safety Classifications Type of protection against electrical Class I, or Internally Powered shock Degree of protection against electric Type BF, Defibrillation-Proof shock Mode of operation Continuous Note Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) The enFlow IV Fluid / Blood Warmer System has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices as set forth in IEC 60601-1-2: (2001) and related standards. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a typical medical installation. The enFlow System generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the enFlow System does cause interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning the Controller off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reposition the Warmer and any intertwined cables. - Check ECG monitoring electrode contact and impedance. - Confirm monitoring lead wires are functioning properly and shielding is intact. - Connect the Controller into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) are connected. - Consult the manufacturer for help.
