Installation
How to Install/Mount the ivNow
ivNow modular units can be installed in a variety of ways.
Up to 3 units can be linked together with a jumper cord and connected via a mounting plate. Configurations can be placed on counter top, mounted to wall or pole.
The rear bracket provided with the ivNow can be used to mount the pod(s) to the wall. See mounting instructions on page 5.
Note: Rear bracket provided with the ivNow is not re-
quired for countertop single pod configuration. For other mounting options (i.e. Horizontal Rails or roll stands) refer to the instructions included with the mounting kit.

ivNow Power Requirements
Electrical Information
The power specifications are located on the unit identifi cation nameplate This nameplate is permanently attached to the unit and must be located to verify power requirements.
120/220/230 V A C — 50/60 Hz, 1 ph 100W per pod (maximum of 400W with 4 connected pods) Safety Class I Equipment No Applied Parts Mode of Operation: Continuous
Applicable only on units with an equipotential-bonding terminal:
To prevent an electrical shock hazard between the appliance and other appliances or metal parts in close vicinity, an equipotential­bonding terminal is provided. An equalization bonding lead must be connected to this stud and the other appliances / metal parts to provide sufficient protection against potential difference. The terminal is marked with the following symbol.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when
equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked “Hospital Grade.”

Operation
General Information
The ivNow fluid warmer quickly warms and maintains the temperature of injection/intravenous solutions prior to their use. The specially contoured warming module cradles solution bags in 0.5-, 1-, 2- & 3-liter sizes. The control can easily be set to display temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit. A sensor in the heating plate detects the presence of a bag and engages the heating mechanism to quickly begin warming the fluid. Two (2) temperature sensors work in unison to precisely and continuously read the temperature of the bag and another sensor monitors the plate temperature. The heater will reengage as necessary to maintain the temperature within +0/-2°C (+0/-3ºF) of the setpoint. The electronic control monitors the length of time the bag has been held at temperature, beginning when the bag reaches setpoint temperature. The display shows the time the fluid has been held at temperature.
NOTE: In the event that fluid should spill inside the
cavity, unplug the unit to prevent an electrical shock hazard. Wipe excess fluid from module immediately. Refer to qualified service personnel. Qualified service personnel should remove the module control and remove any remaining liquid. Perform necessary hospital electrical safety checks before returning the unit to operation.
Safety Feature
• The control of the ivNow is designed to display an error
message (E-31) and stop heating if the temperature of the fluid bag (as monitored by the dual sensor switch) is ever above 40°C (104°F).
• The control also monitors the temperature of the
aluminum and limits the temperature to a maximum of 60°C (140°F).
• There are two protective devices wired in series
with the heating element; an automatic thermostat and a thermal fuse that disconnect the power to the heating element if the plate exceeds 65°C (149°F) and 84ºC (183ºF) respectively, in the event of a run away condition.
ivNow Capacity Information
The ivNow warming module accommodates fluids packaged in bags. Each warming module cradles solution bags in 0.5-, 1-, 2- and 3-liter sizes.

Operating Instructions
1. Before operating the module(s), clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth and general hospital cleaner (isopropyl alcohol).
2. Plug the appliance into an appropriate hospital-grade receptacle. See the appliance data tag for voltage requirements.
3. Turn ON by pressing the power button located on the front of the warmer. When on, the control display will be powered. The plate will not heat until a bag is placed in module.
4. Activate control by placing bag of fluid in module. See Figure 1. For optimum performance, the bag should be centered over the sensor.
NOTE: The warm-up stabilization time will vary slightly
depending on the bag temperature and ambient room temperature.
5. The display will continue to show the current bag temperature as the fluid is heated.
6. The green status indicator will illuminate when the fluid is within +0/-2°C (+0/-3°F) of the setpoint temperature.

Troubleshooting
UTION
If your unit is not operating properly, check the following before calling your authorized service agent. Check the power applied to the unit. Is the plug in the outlet? Check to make sure the power is on by pressing the power button on the front of the unit. If it is a multi-pod unit, are the jumper cords between each pod fully inserted?
Do not attempt to repair or service beyond this point. Repairs made without prior authorization by manufacturer will void the warranty on the unit.
