Ranger Blood/Fluid Warming System

Introduction

The Ranger blood/fluid warming system includes a warming unit and a disposable IV
blood/fluid administration set. The Ranger warming system is designed to warm blood, blood
products, and liquids and deliver these at flow rates from KVO to 500 ml/min. At these flow
rates, the device maintains fluid output temperatures ranging from 33°C to 41°C (Note: This
is for room temperature fluids only). It takes less than 2 minutes to warm up to the 41°C set
point temperature.
Two disposable blood/fluid sets are available: one for standard flow applications and one for
high flow applications. Disposable sets are sterile, latex-free, single-use-only items and are
designed to be used with the reusable warming unit.
The Ranger warming unit is designed to be mounted to an IV pole. A handle located on the
top of the unit makes transport easy. When mounted to the IV pole, the unit fits easily above
the Bair Hugger model 505 warming unit or above a model 500/OR.

Indications for use

The Ranger warming system is intended to warm blood, blood products, and liquids.

Thermal or electrical injury or device damage may occur.
•Never infuse fluids if air bubbles are present in the fluid line, as air embolism may result.
•Do not continue use of the unit if the over-temperature alarm continues to sound and the
temperature does not return to the set point temperature. Immediately stop fluid flow and
discard the disposable set. Have the warming unit tested by a biomedical technician or call
Arizant Healthcare Customer Service.
