enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System Description The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System consists of the enFlow Warmers (Model 100 series, the enFlow Controller/AC Power Pack (Model 120 series), the enFlow AC Power Pack (Model 120 series), the enFlow Disposable Cartridge with or without an IV Extension Set (Model 200 series). Within seconds, this Warming System delivers normothermic infusate to the patient at flow rates of Keep Vein Open (KVO) to 200 mL/min when input fluid temperature is 20 °C.
Additionally, another portable source of power compatible with the enFlow Warming System is the Battery Pack (Model 300 series). (For further information on this item please reference the Energy I Operator’s Manual.) Each Disposable Cartridge and the Disposable Disposable Cartridge with extension set are radiation sterilized and non-pyrogenic as well as latex and DEHP free.
WARNINGS All IV fluid bags must be vented of air per IV fluid manufacturers’ directions prior to connecting to the infusion set. Standard IV line protocols for priming the complete infusion set, the enFlow Disposable Cartridge, and the extension set must be followed before connecting to a patient. Care must be taken to ensure there is not sufficient air in the fluid bag and lines to cause an air embolism.

Although the Warmer has been tested to insure it will survive a drop of 1 m (3.28 ft.), care should be taken that the device is not dropped to reduce the potential of damage. Do not clean with: o ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) or o abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System Components Caution Do not clean with: ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) or abrasive cleaners. Do not sterilize the Warmer with: steam sterilization (autoclave) or dry heat. Do not disinfect or sterilize the Controller. Do not spray or pour cleaning solutions directly on the Controller.

enFlow Troubleshooting Electromagnetic Interference ECG, EEG or EMG (cardiac or neuro monitoring) artifact or other interference caused by the enFlow is an uncommon event. Cardiac or neuro monitoring interference is common and well documented in the medical literature. ...
Page 17
If the current mode is set on “Diagnostic” consider adjusting it to “Monitoring”. Check the ECG pads impedance. Contact your current supplier of monitoring pads or your local GE Healthcare representative to determine if a lower impedance version is available. High impedance monitoring pads are less sensitive to the very low signal strength from the heart beat and appear to be more prone to pronounced interference.

B. Overheat Mode – Alarm Test When operated in the overheat mode, the heat is generated from the contact plate on the underside of the enCheck unit. The enCheck heats the Warmer to > 45 °C. This temperature range simulates an over-temperature situation demonstrating the functionality of the alarm (audible, LED’s, and display (Controller only).
