6 Product description

6 Product description 6.1 Introduction ASTOFLO ECO PLUS consists of a control unit and a heating profile. ASTOFLO ECO PLUS is a device for specific heating of blood and fluids which are delivered to the patients by transfusion, infusion or irrigation. The warming of the liquid supports the prevention and therapy of hypothermia during or after surgery; during longer procedures such as dialysis, hemofiltration, or apheresis the warming leads to a well-being. The applications of the ASTOFLO PLUS ECO therefore include transfusion, infusion, dialysis, hemofiltration and apheresis. The ASTOFLO PLUS ECO Warmer can be used to warm fluids administered to a patient at low flow rates (0 to 2000 ml/h, i.e. 0 to 30 ml/min), see figures 1 to 3. Even at very high flow rates ASTOFLO PLUS ECO keeps pre-heated infusions and fluids to the patient warm. The heating profile is considered as "applied part" (IEC/EN 60601-1). 6.2 Technical description During operation of the Warmer heat is transferred from the internal heating wire to the heating profile. Commercially available infusion sets can simply be inserted in the flexible groove of the heating profile. The heat from the heating profile is transferred through the infusion sets to the fluid to be warmed. The temperature of the heating profile is monitored by a microprocessor controlled temperature control system and by independent alarm systems designed to alert the operator to failure conditions and, if necessary, to switch off the heating process automatically in the event of excessively high temperatures. During operation, the control panel shows the internal temperature of the heating profile; this is not equal to the temperature of the medium to be warmed. The ASTOFLO PLUS ECO neither regulates nor monitors the current temperature of the medium to be warmed. The temperature of the medium to be warmed depends on a variety of factors, such as, but not limited to additional factors:    

ASTOFLO PLUS ECO Instructions for Use

CAUTION Risk of hypothermia!  When ASTOFLO PLUS ECO is used, the patient’s body temperature must be monitored at regular intervals.  The specified heating performance will only achieved by inserting the infusion line into the entire length of the heating profile.  The temperature control of the ASTOFLO PLUS ECO controls and monitors the temperature of the heating profile, but not the patient’s body temperature.  If the ASTOFLO PLUS ECO cannot be started or if the patient's temperature balance is insufficient, consider the use of alternative warming methods in order to avoid or reduce hypothermia or to improve the patient's well-being. Typical temperature curves are shown in the following figures.
