H-1100 Fast Flow Fluid Warmer 3. Background. Equipment needed to replace broken fluid warmer 4. Scope. Narrow Band Imaging When lives are at stake from severe blood loss due to trauma or major surgery, the Level 1® H-1025 Fast Flow Fluid Warmer provides a rapid flow of warmed fluids, such as crystalloid or blood product, including red blood cells, as volume replacement. Even a small drop in a patient s body temperature can be detrimental delaying recovery or allowing infection to set in. With Level 1 s proven technology, the blood or fluid is inherently free of any hot spots, as the H-1025 employs a safe, sealed heating system. The on-board recirculating solution is heated to a pre-set manufacturer s temperature set point of 42° C for efficient heat exchange and maximum fluid warming benefits. The H-1025 is capable of delivering normothermic fluids at a wide range of rates, from 75 ml/hour to 1100 ml/minute. In addition, the compact, custom IV pole mount provides a sturdy and versatile workstation with flanking side poles for the addition of syringe pumps or infusion pumps. 5. Specific Tasks.
