Purpose
The Level 1®H-1000 fluid warmer has been designed for safe, rapid in-line warming of I.V.
fluids as they are administered to patients. Disposable sets designed for warming at
various infusion rates are available. Blood and I.V. solutions may be infused through the
Level 1®I.V. Sets, and will be delivered near 40 °C.
High flow capacity, warm fluid delivery, simple operation, and continuous on-board safety
systems make the H-1000 the ideal choice for all procedures requiring routine to rapid
infusion of normothermic fluids. Typical uses of the system include blood and solution
warming during elective surgery, in the I.C.U., the Emergency Room and in Trauma.
Concept
The H-1000 fluid warmer consists of a reusable hardware device and a single-use
disposable set. Similar to extracorporeal warming technology found in the heart room,
warmed water is rapidly circulated through a disposable anodized aluminum tube to warm
fluids as they are delivered to the patient. The use of a thermal conductor, rapid warm
water circulation, and counter-current flow all contribute to the high warming capacity of
the H-1000.

System features
Filter with Gas Vent
Level 1®D-Series Disposable Sets employ a unique "hands-off" Gas Vent which vents
micro-bubbles of gas that are always released from fluids as they are warmed. In many
other warming systems, these micro-bubbles are actually delivered to the patient along
with the warmed fluids.
The Filter with Gas Vent assembly in the I.V. Sets contains a 170-micron screen filter to
trap macro-aggregates found in blood products. This filter has luer-lock connections and

can be easily changed without patient disconnection or repriming of the entire disposable
set. The Filter with Gas Vent should be changed every three hours or when the filter
becomes clogged, whichever comes first.
Temperature control
The H-1000 employs a safe circulating water heating system, inherently free of any "hot
spots." The primary temperature control circuit sets the circulating water bath to a
temperature of approximately 42 °C for efficient heat exchange and maximum fluid
warming.
Flanking I.V. Pole Brackets
The sturdy design of the H-1000 offers a compact, custom I.V. pole mount set up. This
versatile workstation features flanking side poles for Level 1®pressure infusers, syringe
pumps or infusion pumps.

prior to placing the device into service. Refer to the Testing section of this manual for
complete system testing instruction.
H-1000 Hardware
The H-1000 has an onboard water supply heated to 41.7 °C. This temperature controlled
water supply is rapidly circulated through the heat exchanger of the disposable set. Two
independent circuits continuously control and monitor water temperature, and will shut the
system down and alarm in the event of an over temperature condition.
Power and Alarm Testing
The power and alarm test panel on the front of the H-1000 cabinet is shown in Figure 3
below. It contains four membrane switches. Only a gentle press is required to activate
each switch.
1. POWER ON

and hold this switch to confirm proper operation of the OVER TEMP circuitry.
NOTE: When any one or more of the alarms are activated, and the red and/or yellow
indicators are illuminated, and the audible alarm is sounding, no water is circulating and
no fluid warming is taking place.
Interlocks
Three low voltage interlocks are located in the cabinet. They sense the presence of a
properly installed heat exchanger and filter with gas vent. These interlocks prevent the
pump from pumping water when there is no disposable in place to complete the circulation
loop. If the "CHECK DISPOSABLE" alarm is activated and the light next to the "2" socket
is illuminated, press the #2 socket down firmly to engage the interlock switch.
The H-1000 display panel provides information for safe, convenient set up and use of the
device.

Accessories: H-1025 Pressure Infusers
The H-1000 is equipped with an onboard compressor that is used to operate two Level 1®
pressure infusion chambers (H-2’s). Pressure Infusion chambers are sold separately as an
accessory to the H-1000. The H-1000 combined with two pressure infusion chambers is
referred to as the H-1025. Pressure Infusers are not required to operate the H-1000, but
are a valuable accessory to complete this total fluid management system.
H-1025 pressure infusers provide controlled, convenient pressurization of I.V. blood and
fluid bags for rapid administration of fluids. These automated pressure chambers quickly
reach and hold a preset pressure of 300 mmHg for high speed fluid delivery not possible
with manually pumped pressure cuffs. The factory set 300 mmHg pressure is constant
and not adjustable. At 300 mmHG pressure, flow rates may be altered by adjusting the
roller clamp on the Level 1®D-series disposable I.V. fluid warming set.
With the H-1025 infusion chambers, pressure can be applied or released with the throw of
a switch. Empty I.V. fluid bags can be de-pressurized, replaced and repressurized in
seconds. Each pressure infuser contains an expansion bladder to accommodate either a
500 ml bag or a 1000 ml bag. And a safety relief valve is also contained in each chamber
to help prevent over-pressurizing fluid bags.
If you have purchased a pair of pressure infusion chambers, please refer to the following
pressure infuser set up instructions for proper installation.
Packaging for each pair of H-1025 pressure infusers should contain the following items:

THINGS TO CHECK
Make sure that the unit is plugged in and the
power switch is ON.
Is it plugged into correct circuit?
Make sure the heat exchanger and filter are
properly installed and the top (#2) socket is
down. If the top (#2) socket is not properly
seated, the yellow light next to it will illuminate.
Make sure that the water tank is filled above
the minimum mark level. Fill or top off the tank
with DISTILLED water only.
Turn off the power switch to clear the alarm.
Turn on the power switch again. If the unit
continues to alarm, remove it from service for
repair.
Make sure that the air inlet on the bottom of
the unit is not blocked or clogged with dust.
Lubricate the O-Rings in heat exchanger (#1)
and (#2) sockets with silicone. Order Part #
80-04-002 to replace O-Rings.

16
Many factors which are insignificant in low fluid administration are restrictors
of higher flow infusion. If you encounter flow restriction with any Level 1®Fluid
Warmer, CHECK EACH OF THESE POSSIBLE CAUSES.
OLD BLOOD
Stored blood begins to develop particulate within 5 to 7 days. This may
partially block fluid pathways, impeding flow.
FULLY SPIKED BAG
Bag port membranes may only be split, not completely pierced.
BAG PORT FILTER (if used)
40 micron to 80 micron filters used between the blood bag and the bag spike
of the Disposable set may restrict flow because:
1. Cold, viscous blood does not flow well through small pore filters.
2. As they are directly connected to the source of particulate with no pre-
filtering, they clog quickly.
3. They may trap air which can block filter media surface area.
CLAMPS PARTLY ENGAGED
Check to be sure all clamps are fully open.
TUBE SET
Leaving clamps engaged for extended periods of time when the Disposable
Set is not in use (such as pre-set-up) will cause the tubing to take a SET in
the clamped position.
TUBE KINK
Be sure no tube kinks are present anywhere in the set, especially in the Y-set
when a pressure cuff is employed and the IV Pole is used in a lowered
position.
TRAPPED AIR IN FILTER
As noted in the Priming instructions, remove the Filter from the holder and tap
against the Cabinet to dislodge air bubbles and allow them to vent out.
CLOGGED FILTER
If good quality blood is used, this filter should never cause flow restriction. In
the event of a clogged filter, this component may be changed. If frequent
clogging is encountered, discuss the QUALITY of the blood being used with
your Blood Bank
EXTENSION LINES
Use only extension lines with a bore of .130" (3.3 mm) or larger, equipped
with large bore fittings, such as Level 1®Part No’s. X-36 or Y-30.
STOPCOCK OR Y ADAPTER
Any fittings attached to the male luer-lock at the end of the Patient Line
should have large bores. If their bores are smaller than the male luer-lock
bore, they are restrictors.
NEEDLE or CATHETER
If possible, use a minimum 18 Gauge needle or 16 French catheter. Smaller
sizes will reduce flow.
Trouble Shooting Slow Flow Rates

Testing
The H-1000 is equipped with disposable set sensing interlocks. To operate the device and
perform testing operations a Level 1®non-sterile, not for patient use D-series disposable
set with heat exchanger and filter assembly must be in place.
! WARNING ! Do not attempt to defeat the disposable sensing interlocks or try to
operate the H-1000 without a disposable in place. Water may spill from the unit if the
interlocks are defeated.
CAUTION: Prior to placing the H-1000 into service, the device must be tested by Smiths
Medical technical personnel, an authorized distributor of Smiths Medical or a trained
biomedical engineer. Periodic testing and maintenance should be performed by a
biomedical engineer or trained personnel.
NOTE: Refer to Maintenance and Testing Log section of this manual for safety testing
frequencies and intervals.
Add Water Alarm
The H-1000 is equipped with a float switch which senses the water level in the onboard
reservoir. When the water level is too low, a yellow indicator on the display panel
illuminates and an audible alarm sounds. In the alarm condition the pump will not circulate
water.
With a test disposable set in place, the ADD WATER alarm may be tested by turning the
drain valve on the bottom of the unit 90 degrees clockwise and allowing water to drain out
into a container. Drain until the water level falls below the minimum mark on the water
tank.
Check Disposables Alarm
Three interlocks sense a properly installed heat exchanger. If a heat exchanger is not in
place and the power switch is ON, a yellow indicator will illuminate and an audible alarm
will sound. With the unit running, the interlocks may be tested one at a time by following
these simple steps.
1. Top Heat Exchanger Socket
Slide up slowly, two yellow indicators will illuminate and the audible alarm will sound.
2. Heat exchanger interlock
Gently pull on the middle of the heat exchanger, one yellow indicator will illuminate and
the audible alarm will sound.
3. Filter holder interlock
Remove the Filter with Gas Vent, one yellow indicator will illuminate and the audible alarm
will sound.

Water Over Temperature Alarm
Press and hold the Water Over Temperature alarm test button on the power and test panel
on the front of the unit. The display will jump to 45 °C (as long as the button is pressed
on), and the red over temperature indicator will illuminate and the audible alarm will start to
pulse.
NOTE: The Water Over Temperature Alarm test button actually tests the over temperature
circuitry of the system, not just the visible red display indicator and the audible alarm.
NOTE: Pressing the Water Over Temperature test button or the Alarm test button will disable the
H-1000 even after the buttons have been released. The unit must be shut off and then re-started to
clear the alarm condition.
Alarm Testing
The audible alarm and all indicator lights may be tested by pressing the Alarm test button
on the power and test panel on the front of the cabinet.
NOTE: Pressing the Alarm test button or the Water Over Temperature test button will disable the
H-1000 even after the buttons have been released. The unit must be shut off and then re-started to
clear the alarm condition.
Performance Testing
Periodic testing of the overall operating efficiency of the H-1000 can be accomplished in
one of two simple ways:
1. COLD START TEST
NOTE: This performance test requires a non-sterile, not for patient use Level 1®D-series
disposable set to be installed properly on the H-1000.
Store the H-1000 unit in a room where the room temperature is approximately 21 °C
(70 °F). With a non-sterile D-series disposable set in place, note the time, and then turn
the power switch ON. The green "OPERATING" indicator will illuminate. Rapidly rising
numbers will appear on the circulating water bath temperature display. A 41 °C
temperature reading will appear in approximately 3 to 7 minutes on an efficiently operating
unit.
NOTE: If the H-1000 does not pass the cold start test, it should be returned to Smiths
Medical or an authorized distributor of Smiths Medical for service. Do not attempt to
change the calibration settings.
2. THERMAL CALIBRATION WELL (TCW)
Available from Smiths Medical, a TCW may also be used to test performance and confirm
proper calibration of the water bath temperature.
