QUANTUM SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
The Quantum Blood & Fluid Warming System consists of sterile thermal
IV tubing (TTS-B or TIS), a Controller (including Jacket), Battery, and Battery Charger..
TUBING SETS:
Thermal Transfusion Set -Blood (TTS-B) | Thermal Infusion Set (TIS)
Intravascular administration sets for infusion (TIS) of IV uids and transfusion (TTS-B) of blood/blood products and IV
uids. The sets are assembled and consist of Life Warmer’s proprietary thermoplastic tubing with integrated copper-
nickel heating elements, temperature sensing thermistors, and standard IV administration components (see Figures 2
and 3). The TIS and TTS-B connect to the Controller via the circuit cartridge connector. The TIS and TTS-B are provided
sterile, for single-patient use only.
Cleaning Kit:
Kit contains hydrophobic coating pack, extra Controller Jacket, and cleaning brush for Jacket connector slot.
Controller:
The Controller is the command center of the Quantum System. It contains the microprocessor
and control algorithm that continually assesses temperature input from tubing thermistors and
regulates the energy provided to the tubing heating elements in the proximal and/or distal
segments to reach and maintain temperature between 38ºC ± 2ºC / 100.4ºF ± 2) at patient
delivery. The Controller receives power when connected to the Battery. The Controller is
reusable. Surface clean/disinfect only. (Controller does not support/require sterilization)..
Controller Jacket:
The Controller comes tted with a Jacket that permits the mating (connection) of the TIS or
TTS-B tubing circuit connector to the connector slot on the Controller. The Jacket must remain
in place for device operation. The Jacket also protects the Controller and should be replaced
after approximately 10 uses or 6 months.
Battery:
Supplies power to the Controller. Battery is lithium-
polymer and rechargeable. Surface clean/disinfect only.
(Battery does not support/require sterilization).
Charger:
For charging the Quantum Battery. AC-powered reusable
component. Surface clean/disinfect only. (Charger does
not support/require sterilization).
