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.
The Warmer is the reusable heating unit designed to work in conjunction with the Disposable Cartridge. Two
multicolored light emitting diode (LED) indicators on the Warmer indicate its power status and the fluid/blood
infusate temperature. The infusate within the Disposable Cartridge is warmed when in contact with the
heating surface of the Warmer. This surface is heated by means of electrical resistance. The Warmer
contains redundant temperature sensors to help ensure fluid temperature accuracy and reliability. It also
includes two independent over-heating protectors. Continuous internal diagnostics monitor essential
components and system parameters when heating fluid/blood.
The only distinction between the two versions of the Warmer, both of which are Model 100 series, is the
connector at the end of the power cord, which determines whether the unit will powered from alternating or
direct current.

The Controller/AC Power Pack serves as a power supply for the Warmer
unit. The Controller/AC Power Pack is designed to mount on an IV pole or
sit on a table top. The front panel includes a temperature display
reading in degrees C, as well as a keypad, which controls the clock and
the mute feature. Regardless of the orientation of the unit, the
temperature readout is always displayed in a “right-side-up”view.
The AC Power Pack also serves as a power source for the Warmer unit. It is
similar in design to the Controller/AC Power Pack only without the display
feature.

4400_0060 enFlow Service Manual Rev. F 04/12 Page 7 of 36
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.
The Disposable Cartridge connects to the enFlow IV Extension Set or any infusion set employing
standard luer connectors. Once primed, the Disposable Cartridge in conjunction with the Warmer and the
Controller/AC Power Pack combine to complete the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System.
Indication for Use
The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System’s intended use is for warming blood, blood products and
intravenous solutions prior to administration. It is designed to be used by healthcare professionals in
hospital, clinical and field environments to help prevent hypothermia.
Clinical and Training Information
Operators must be trained to set up and deliver blood/ IV solutions in a medically approved manner,
including aseptic techniques and standard hospital procedures. Use of the enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming
System, when properly administered, will help to prevent hypothermia and the complications arising
therefrom. This device may also help make patients more comfortable during IV infusions.

4400_0060 enFlow Service Manual Rev. F 04/12 Page 8 of 36
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.
The 'High Priority Alarm' is a flashing RED LED, a flashing RED Controller display, and an audible
alarm, indicating that the infusate is over temperature. Stop the fluid flow, and slide the Warmer
covers open to stop warming. If the above occurs, then replace the Warmer and contact
Technical Support. The attending practitioner should remain within 4m of the patient when the
device is in use to enable visualisation of the enFlow display and hear the audible high priority
alarm.
The Warmer contains magnets; do not operate within 15 cm (6 in.) of a pacemaker or other
devices that may be sensitive to strong magnetic fields.
The Disposable Cartridge may be a potential biohazard during or after use. Handle and dispose
of in accordance with acceptable medical practice and applicable regulations.
Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Replace the fuses with only Bussmann®part # GDB 5A or equivalent. Bussmann® is registered in
the United States or abroad by Cooper Industries, Inc. or its subsidiaries.
The Disposable Cartridge should not be used for greater than 24 hours.
Ensure that the Disposable Cartridge expiration date has not passed.
If the IV line runs dry, disconnect the Disposable Cartridge from the Warmer. Re-prime the entire
IV system using aseptic techniques. Ensure all the air is removed from both the line and the
Disposable Cartridge. Replace the Disposable Cartridge in the Warmer.
The enFlow Warmer is to be used only with approved enFlow power sources and the enFlow
Disposable Cartridge.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply main that is
grounded. Should the need arise the device may be disconnected by the appliance coupler.
Cautions
Follow the AABB "Guidelines for the Use of Blood Warming Devices" (© 2006) which caution against
warming when administering platelets, cryoprecipitate, or granulocyte suspensions.
Some drugs or drug preparations may be sensitive to warming. As with any fluid or blood warming
system, carefully review the drug manufacturer's literature for information about thermal sensitivity.
The disposable cartridge contains aluminum. Review the preparation or solution manufacturer's
instructions for use about chemical sensitivity.
Do not affix, place or bind the Warmer directly to a patient during general use.
Do not wrap the Warmer in towels, sheets, blankets or drapes.
If the enFlow system is used for pre hospital transport or transfer to another facility
oplace an insulating and cushioning fabric layer, such as soft cotton towels or gauze, at least .25”
or 6 mm thick in between the underside of the Warmer and the patient. Do not use foam or gel
pads. Cushioning the patient from the Warmer will help prevent perioperative peripheral
neuropathies.
oThe Warmer is designed to be placed on the bed and/or attached to a patient coverings in
close proximity to the site of infusion using the cord clip P/N 980309VS.
The Warmer heating surface and Disposable Cartridge can get quite warm when heating cold IV
fluids/blood at high flow rates. Wait a few seconds after stopping the IV fluid/blood flow before
removing the Disposable Cartridge.
The Controller/AC Power Pack should only be plugged into a hospital grade outlet.
Do not block the fan in the Controller/AC Power Pack as this may cause overheating.

4400_0060 enFlow Service Manual Rev. F 04/12 Page 9 of 36
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:
oketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) or
oabrasive cleaners.
Do not sterilize the Warmer with:
osteam sterilization (autoclave) or
odry heat.
Do not disinfect or sterilize the Controller.
Do not spray or pour cleaning solutions directly on the Controller.
Do not allow cleaning solutions to accumulate on the Controller.
When using the Controller/AC Power Pack mounted to an IV pole, it must be tightly secured on the
pole no higher than 122 cm (48 in.) from the ground. The pole should have a base diameter of no less
than 61 cm (24 in.). A Controller/AC Power Pack mounted too high on the IV pole may cause
instability. IV pole accessories or the attachment of fluid bags may also cause instability.
Normal wear and tear during use of the Warmer may cause the device to be susceptible to fluid
ingress. Carefully inspect the heating surface of the Warmer for tears or foreign matter before
each use and take out of service if necessary.
Always secure the infusion set with the clip provided on the Warmer power cable to prevent kinking
in the line.
Do not use a stiff bristle brush or sharp probe to remove foreign material.
Do not use compressed air to dry.
Avoid puncturing the heating surface. If damaged, remove the Warmer from service and replace
immediately.
This equipment is not intended for use in an oxygen rich environment.
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Do not position the device in a way which makes it difficult to disconnect the device.

enFlow Fluid Warming System Temperature Control and Alarms
Temperature Control
The enFlow IV Fluid/Blood Warming System includes multiple safety features to prevent over-heating of
infusion fluids. There are built in redundancies and back-up safety systems as means for protection in the
event of a failure in the primary control mechanism. Several aspects of the system work together to
accomplish desired and appropriate safety:
1. Closed-loop temperature control software
2. Audible and visual alarms
3. Software system monitor
4. Independent heater temperature monitoring circuit
Audible / Visual Alarms
The enFlow Warmer incorporates an audible/visual alarm system. This system monitors the fluid
temperature for an over-temperature condition and system faults. The alarm function is tested each time a
Cartridge is inserted. The audible alarm is briefly sounded, and the red light emitting diode indicator is also
briefly illuminated. If a dangerous condition occurs, a continuous audible and visual alarm is activated.
When used with the Model 121 Controller, the audible alarm will come from the Controller, and the display
will identify the alarm condition. When the Warmer is used with Model 120 power supply, the temperature
LED will flash and the audible alarm will come from the Warmer. Over-temperature conditions are
calculated according to ASTM Standard F2172-02 (an FDA Recognized Standard for fluid warmers). This
standard allows for spikes in the fluid temperature without activating an alarm. The alarm has a linear time-
temperature relationship, therefore, the hotter the fluid the less time it will take for the alarm to be activated.
At 45 ºC the alarm will sound after about 20 seconds while at 50 ºC it will be essentially instantaneous. The
alarm will be activated by either the Warmer over-heating the fluid or if the fluid entering the Warmer is too
hot. The audible aspect of the alarm can be muted for 1 minute by pressing any key on the Controller. The
alarm can also be ended completely by sliding open the covers on the Warmer. (For further information,
please reference test for Over-temperature Alarm located in Appendix F: Preventive Maintenance Procedure.

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.
There are published suggestions to reduce or eliminate the interference which should be employed.
“Interference of the monitored or recorded electrocardiogram is common within operating room and intensive care unit
environments.”
1
The enFlow®IV Fluid / Blood Warmer System as with all electrical devices can be associated
with some electromagnetic interference (EMI), however, it has been uncommon and inconsistently
experienced, even within accounts reporting the issue.
On previous occasions when interference has been reported, we have frequently been successful in
resolving the issue using common troubleshooting suggestions. Please review each and be prepared to
implement them should an account voice a concern.
Interference Confirmation
Turn the unit off.
Turn the power supply on the back of the Controller/AC Power Pack to the OFF position. Reassess the
inference. Knowing that cardiac or neuro monitoring is being affected determine if the interference adversely
affects your ability to care for the patient. Consider attempting to reduce the level of interference by
employing some simple and readily available solutions.
Interference Reductions
Check the monitoring pads
All monitoring pads should be full adhered to the patient’s properly prepared skin. Please confirm that the
pad’s foam insulator is not curled up, peeled back or otherwise exposing the conductive gel layer. Confirm
that the leadwires’ connectors are properly and fully attached. Consider reapplying monitoring electrodes if
there is any suspicion they have become dried out
Confirm the patient is properly grounded.
In many cases, and in all cases using mono-polar or bi-phase cautery a grounding pad should present and
applied according to the manufacturers instructions. As previously suggested confirm the ground pad is fully
adhered to a properly prepared skin surface.
Confirm the enFlow and the ECG monitor are plugged into different outlets
There are two reasons for this action. It is possible that the two systems are in an electrical phase related
conflict and it is getting expressed on the monitor. Secondly, it is possible that the outlets are not properly
grounded or grounded in different locations. While rare it can be the case and outwardly there would be no
way to tell not even on most other equipment in use.
Confirm the warmer cord is not entwined or near the ECG lead cable.
Separating the two cords will allow each ones shielding to work to its full potential.
Confirm the monitoring cables and lead wires are in proper working order
The insulating layer on lead wires and cables degrades over time and with use. Please confirm that the
insulation is intact and operates at its stated specifications.
Review the monitor’s notch filter.
Check to ensure that the monitoring systems frequency filter is set appropriately.
Determine the monitor’s sensitivity setting.
Many physiological monitors have the ability to interpret electrical signals in two distinct modes: a highly

sensitive ‘Diagnostic” mode or a more filtered “Monitoring” mode. Determine the current mode of operation.
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.

NoteElectromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The enFlow IV Fluid / Blood Warmer System has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical
devices as set forth in IEC 60601-1-2: (2001) and related standards. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a typical medical installation. The
enFlow System generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the enFlow System does cause
interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning the Controller/AC Power Pack off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reposition the Warmer and any intertwined cables.
-Check ECG monitoring electrode contact and impedance.
-Confirm monitoring lead wires are functioning properly and shielding is intact.
-Connect the Controller/AC Power Pack into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
other device(s) are connected.
-Consult the manufacturer for help.
