Technical Description
General
The HOTLINE
®
employs a safe recirculating solution heating
system, inherently free of hotspots, to actively warm the HOTLINE
®
Blood and Fluid Warming Set
- a co-axial arrangement of warm
fluid-filled jacket and sterile IV line. The primary temperature
control circuit limits the recirculating solution to 42
o
C maximum. In
the unlikely event of a malfunction of this circuit, a second
watchdog circuit will visually and audibly alarm and stop pumping
the recirculating solution if the temperature reaches 43
o
C.
The heater current is supplied via a thermal cutout, so in the
case of a circulation failure, the heater will be protected against
burn-out; the same cutout will act in the event of catastrophic
breakdown of components in the HOTLINE® circuitry that prevents
the alarm state from disengaging the heater.
These three levels of safety ensure that the IV Fluid in the
HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set is never exposed to any damaging or
dangerous temperature while the unit is operating.
Mechanical
The rear left-hand side of the unit is a reservoir, holding 1.4
litres of either distilled water or a disinfectant solution. This fluid
will henceforth be referred to as recirculating solution. Do not
confuse recirculating solution with the IV Fluid being dispensed to
the patient.
