GENERAL INFORMATION

The Jorvet IV Fluid and Blood Transfusion Warmer is a dry-heat device. This unit is designed to warm IV fluids safely through the heating plate. The Warmer does not control the fluid flow rate. Fluids can be warmed to temperatures between 95°-107.6° F (35°C-42°C) at flow rates 25ml/hr to l000ml/hr.

PRECAUTIONS

• IMPORTANT
  Before using the Jorvet IV Fluid and Blood Transfusion Warmer, please read and understand this
  User’s Guide and the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS prior to use. If you have any questions, please contact Jorgensen Laboratories at 1.800.525.5614.

• Carry out the inspections and maintenance periodically according to the manual to avoid patient or user injury.

• This operation manual is only used by professional trained Veterinary Personnel.

WARNINGS

• This device is used for heating the infusion, blood transfusion and can be used only by the professional trained Veterinary Personnel.

• Securely attach the warmer to an IV Stand to prevent damage to the unit by sliding down or dropping to the floor.

• The unit should only be used with the power cord that came with the unit and is not shared during the use of the warmer.

• It is not allowed to use voltage other than that specified on the product label, or it could cause damage or a fire.

• Inspect the warmer and all accessories completely before use to verify it is working in a safe manner.

• DO NOT only rely on the warmer’s alarm to notify of a problem, the warmer should be monitored throughout the infusion.

• Stop the use of the warmer during an alarm

• DO NOT connect other brand heating devices or other brand heating accessories to this warmer as it could lead to wrong heating temperature or dangerous infusion.

• Keep the infusion line straight and unfolded to prevent a long-term occlusion and heating to fluids/ blood for long period of time.

• DO NOT use the warmer where there is strong sunlight, cold & hot, wind or a dusty environment.

• Microwave will influence the function of the warmer. All other devices next to the warmer must meet the EMC standard. Mobile phone, X-Ray or MRI will be the cause of a malfunction due to its high frequency radiation.

• It is not allowed to dismantle or modify the warmer. Opening the shell may cause electrocution.
  Maintenance or upgrade to the warmer must be done by authorized staff from the manufacturer.

• Check the warmer daily and check all the functions to determine it is in good condition if it is not used for a long period.

• Turn off the warmer and contact Jorgensen Laboratories 800.525.5614 when a malfunction has occurred.

INTRODUCTION

The use of room temperature (70°F/21°C) IV fluids in a patient suffering from shock, or susceptibility to hypothermia should be avoided. Ideally fluids should be administered as close to body temperature as possible for better therapeutic results. Blood products are refrigerated or frozen prior to administration.

APPLICATION

It is intended to provide continuous heating during the infusion and blood transfusion.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The Jorvet IV Fluid and Blood Transfusion Warmer is an indirect heating device (dry warmer). The IV fluids are heated as the fluids pass through the channel of the warmer. The temperature can be set between 32°C ~ 42°C (89.6°F ~ 107.6°F). The heating control board will work upon the set temperature.

USER’S OPERATION

Operation Steps

• Hang the warmer on the IV pole, adjust the strap to the appropriate length.
  Note: If the infusion pump is being used, the IV warmer should be placed slightly under the IV line’s exit from the infusion pump.

• Use the knob to tighten to the IV Stand.

• Prime the IV set line removing all air bubbles.

• Open the door of the warmer.
  

• Install the IV Set end from the top to down inside the heating path and select the path based on the IV set length and heating requirement.

  • Long Heating Path
    Heating length approximately 52cm.
    

  • Middle Heating Path
    Heating length approximately 31cm.
    

  • Short Heating Path
    Heating length approximately 25cm.
    

• Connect the power cord to the warmer. The warmer will automatically start once the power cord is connected. Once the power cord is disconnected, the warmer will automatically turn off.

• Adjusting the Temperature In the standby mode, press buttons to set temperature in increments of 0.1 °C.

• Adjusting the Temperature Unit Setting In the standby mode, press to set C or F unit. It will display once the unit is selected.

• Start the warmer after confirming the settings by pressing to start the warmer. It will start warming based on the temperature that has been set. The temperature will light up with the LED on the display.

• If the temperature needs to be readjusted, press again to the standby mode and reset the temperature.

• Stopping the Warmer Press to the standby mode and take out the IV tubing from the warmer. Disconnect the power supply

ALARM TYPES

Overheat Alarm
When the temperature increases 2 °C above the set temperature, the heating board will cause an alarm to sound intermittently and the overheat alarm light will keep flashing. Press stop the warmer and restart it. If this issue continues contact Jorgensen Laboratories 800.525.5614.

Low Temperature Alarm
When the temperature decreases 2 °C below the set temperature, the heating board will cause an alarm to sound intermittently and the overheat alarm light will keep flashing. Press stop the warmer and restart it. If this issue continues contact Jorgensen Laboratories.

System Error Alarm
When E00l is displayed on the LED, this indicates if the warmer was operated by mistake, or a fault with the unit. Restart the unit. If the alarm continues contact Jorgensen Laboratories.

• Check the patient
• Confirm the cause of the alarm
• Turn off the unit
• Try again

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

long-time storage
Check at least one time per year|

• Test the AC power socket and cable
• Test the temperature accuracy before use

APPENDIX

Note:

• If adding other accessories, sensors or cable can increase the electromagnetic emission and lower the anti-electromagnetic interference.
• Do not place other equipment next to the Warmer or overlap equipment with the warmer. If it is required to do so, monitor the Warmer to ensure that it is working properly.
• The Warmer must be maintained and installed in the environment complied with the EMS Standard
• A void operating the Warmer during the operation of a MRI or similar devices, it will cause the unit to breakdown from the electromagnetic interference.
• CISPR Emission Standard equipment may also interface the Warmer
• The Temperature will become inaccurate if the input signal range is lower than the specified lowest range.
• Interference of RF communication Equipment may interfere with the performance of the warmer.
