The QinFLOW Warrior lite Blood and Fluid Warmer, Model QiF-03, is a battery-powered, lightweight, and portable system designed for warming blood, blood products, and IV fluids to help prevent hypothermia in medical settings. It is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals.
Function Description:
The Warrior lite system is a blood and fluid warmer that operates using a Base Unit (controller) and a rechargeable battery. It connects to a Compact Disposable Unit (CDU) which contains a heat exchanger for warming fluids. The system is designed for both prehospital and hospital critical care transports, as well as surgical and intensive care units. It can warm blood, blood products, and intravenous fluids to a set point of 38 °C (100.4 °F). The system provides visual LED panel indications for power, battery level, and operational status, including warnings for troubleshooting, low battery, and critical battery levels.
