FW400 Series Blood/Fluid Warmer
3.0 Instructions for Use—Setup
Select a site for placement of the Warmer. If the Warmer
is attached to a pole, ensure the pole clamp is securely
tightened.
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt to transport the
Warmer while mounted to an IV pole.
It could tip over. Remove the Warmer
for transport.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
NOTE: Do not turn unit on without first inserting
a Warming Set. Doing so may activate the Over
Temperature Safety Thermostats. Also, do not prime
the Warming Set prior to inserting it into the Warmer.
Follow the instructions below (see corresponding
illustrations numbered 1 through 8 on page 4).
NOTE: Warming Sets are designed for use below
300 mm Hg.

Remove the Warming Set from its sterile packaging.
WARNING
!
Do not use the contents of the package if any
part of the contents is damaged, distorted or
contaminated. Contents are sterile and non-
pyrogenic in unopened, undamaged package.
NOTE: The flexible cassette is designed so it can be
inserted into the Warmer in only one orientation (see
figure 1, page 2). The blue guide rail on the cassette
lines up with the blue guide rail indicator on the front
of the Warmer.
Grasp each rail (see figure 4 below) with the blue
guide rail in the left hand.
Figure 4—grasp and stretch flexible cassette
Stretch the flexible cassette slightly and insert the
front end into the front of the Warmer, aligning the rails
to each edge of the slotted opening.
Move hands to the rail protrusions and continue to
insert the cassette until the clear guide rail is flush
with the front of the unit. (The blue guide rail will
protrude slightly for easy removal.)

Close Warming Set input clamp. Remove the protector
from the female luer of the Warming Set and connect
it to the male luer on the IV administration set.
Remove the protector from the male luer of the
Warming Set. To minimize temperature drop and
priming volume, remove unnecessary lead extensions
at this time.

Invert the bubble trap.

Open Warming Set input clamp. Allow fluid to prime
the Set.
When the bubble trap fills to approximately two-thirds
(2/3) full, close output clamp.

Re-invert the bubble trap and mount it in the bubble
trap holder so it is in a vertical position.
WARNING
!
The bubble trap must be mounted and kept in
the vertical position at all times. Failure to do
so could result in the introduction of air to the
patient. The introduction of air to the patient
could result in death or serious injury.

Turn the on/off circuit breaker on. The Warmer will
perform a two-second self-check before turning on
the display.

If required, connect an extension for patient
connection.

Purge air from remaining length of tubing by opening
output clamp and allowing fluid to flow.
WARNING
!
Air must be removed from the fluid lines prior
to connection to the patient. Failure to do so
could result in the introduction of air to the
patient. The introduction of air to the patient
could result in death or serious injury.
