Level 1 HOTLINE HL-90 Fluid and Blood Warmer
The Level 1 HOTLINE HL-90 by Smiths Medical is a medical device designed for warming fluids and blood prior to administration to patients. In surgical settings, intensive care units, or emergency departments, the need to infuse liquids at body temperature is crucial to prevent hypothermia and enhance patient care. This system ensures a continuous supply of warmed fluids while minimizing heat loss during transfer.
Unlike traditional warming systems, the HOTLINE HL-90 incorporates thermal recirculation technology that maintains fluid temperature throughout the pathway from the device to the patient. This guarantees stable infusion, even at high flow rates, without the risk of cooling due to contact with the external environment.
The device reaches a set temperature of 41.9°C with an accuracy of ±0.1°C and is equipped with a regulation system that prevents exceeding the maximum safety temperature of 43.1°C. It also features visual and audible alarms to alert users to potential issues such as insufficient recirculation solution levels or system overheating.
Its intuitive interface allows for effective real-time control of fluid temperature. The device has a clear display indicating the recirculation solution temperature and an alarm test panel to verify the functionality of safety features.
The Level 1 HOTLINE HL-90 is designed to be mounted on an IV pole and features ergonomics suitable for hospital environments. Its relatively light weight (3.5 kg when empty) facilitates easy movement and installation. The device complies with electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, ensuring reliable use in medical settings.
This fluid warmer operates with specific consumables, including HOTLINE Fluid Warming Sets. These accessories are designed to optimize the device's efficiency and ensure perfect compatibility with its heating system.
Due to its thermal performance and ease of use, the Level 1 HOTLINE HL-90 is an essential piece of equipment for ensuring safe and effective infusions, particularly in emergency contexts or during medical procedures involving large volumes of fluids.
