3M™ Ranger™ 245: uncompromising thermal control for demanding clinical environments
In surgical or emergency settings, maintaining the patient's body temperature is essential. The 245 model in the 3M™ Ranger™ range has been designed with this in mind. This dry heat blood and fluid warming system is a precise, hygienic and ergonomic solution for temperate intravenous infusion needs. Unlike devices that use water baths, the 3M™ Ranger™ 245 eliminates the risk of cross-contamination thanks to its dry technology, while ensuring rapid and controlled temperature rise.
This model offers great flexibility depending on the desired flow rate: whether it's a low flow rate for a paediatric patient or rapid administration at 500 mL/min for critical cases, the 245 maintains the required thermal stability. The set temperature is fixed at 41°C and two alarm thresholds visual and audible are provided at 43°C and 44°C to prevent overheating.
The 3M™ Ranger™ 245 also stands out for its ease of use. Loading the single-use warming sets is intuitive: they can only be inserted in one direction, minimising handling errors. The compact and lightweight main unit (3.4 kg) fits easily into any clinical setting.
Maintenance of the device is made easy by the absence of a water tank. A quick clean with a dedicated tool is all that is required, reducing downtime between patients. This efficiency gain is also accompanied by a financial advantage, as staff training is limited to a single system for all flow rates.
In terms of safety, compliance with UL/IEC 60601-1 standards for leakage current demonstrates the attention paid to the protection of patients and healthcare personnel. Combined with DEHP- and natural latex-free warming sets, the Ranger™ 245 meets modern biosafety and sustainability requirements in the healthcare sector.
The 245 model is the strategic choice for medical facilities that demand performance, simplicity and safety in fluid and blood infusion.
