SECTION2
Description
The HOTLINE® Warmer delivers blood and intravenous fluid at
normothermic temperatures by surrounding the sterile intravenous line
with a layer of warmed recirculating solution. An onboard recirculating
solution supply is heated to 41.5°C ± 0.5 and circulated through the outer
lumen of the HOTLINE
intravenous line.
®
Fluid Warming Set, which surrounds the
The HOTLINE
®
Warmer employs a safe, recirculating solution heating
system, inherently free of “hot spots,” to actively warm the patient line.
Electronic circuitry continuously monitors the recirculating solution
temperature. The primary temperature control circuit limits the
recirculating solution to 42°C maximum. In the unlikely event of a
malfunction of this circuit, a second “watchdog” circuit will visually and
audibly alarm and stop the recirculating solution pump if the temperature
reaches 43.1°C. Fluid in the HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set is never
exposed to any damaging or dangerous temperatures while the
HOTLINE
®
Warmer is operating.
The recirculating solution temperature and visual alarms are indicated on
the Display Panel on the front of the HOTLINE

CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Not for use in warming platelets, cryo-precipitates, or
granulocyte suspensions.
WARNINGS
WARNINGS
Death or serious injury may occur to the patient or user if these
warnings are not followed.
• Read and follow all instructions, labeling, and accompanying
documents supplied with this medical device. Failure to follow
instructions, including all warnings and cautions, could lead to
misuse of the device or device malfunction.
•The HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set is a single-use device and is
not intended for re-sterilization.
• Do not use HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set if the caps are not
securely in place, else the I.V. flow path may not be sterile.
•The HOTLINE
®
Warmer is for use only with Smiths Medical
supplied or approved parts, accessories, and Disposable Sets.

SECTION 3 • Important Safety Information
Continued from previous page
WARNINGS
WARNINGS
• Set-up, priming, and use require aseptic technique as per
applicable institutional policies and procedures.
• Prime the recirculating solution path before connecting to the
intravenous extension set. This is to confirm that there is not a
breach between the recirculating solution path and intravenous
path. If fluid exits the patient end of the HOTLINE
®
Fluid
Warming Set before connecting to the intravenous
administration set, remove and replace HOTLINE
®
Fluid
Warming Set.
• Remove all air from the intravenous fluid lines before
connecting to the patient. Failure to do so may result in
introduction of air to the patient.
• Do not stick the HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set with needles, as
this will breach the I.V. path and compromise the integrity of the
patient intravenous line. If a Disposable Set with a breached
recirculating solution path/intravenous path is used, then
patient illness may occur because of the HOTLINE
®
Warmer's
recirculating solution entering the patient's bloodstream.
• Activation of the Over Temperature warning signal indicates
that warming has stopped and immediate operator intervention
is required to clear the over temperature condition or to remove
the device from service.
• If any visual indicator does not illuminate or the audible signal
does not sound, do not use the HOTLINE
®
Warmer. Remove the
device from service immediately.
• Do not operate the HOTLINE
®
Warmer in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
The risk of explosion exists if the HOTLINE
®
Warmer is operated
in a potentially explosive environment.
• Do not use the HOTLINE
®
Warmer in high-energy fields such
as: MRI, X-RAY, portable and mobile RF communications
equipment, and other such devices. The HOTLINE
®
Warmer
may act as a projectile in a strong magnetic field, cause image
artifacts, or not function as intended.

WARNINGS
WARNINGS
• Exposed conductor on MAINS power cord can cause an
electrocution hazard. Remove device from service if the MAINS
power cord has exposed wires.
• Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the MAINS
power cord is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
Risk of electrical shock exists if the equipment is not connected
to a properly grounded receptacle.
• No user-serviceable parts. All service must be performed by
Smiths Medical or an authorized representative.
CAUTIONS
• Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician.
• Do not mount the HOTLINE
®
Warmer more than 107cm (42")
above the floor. For convenience, 107cm (42") is indicated on
the HOTLINE
the HOTLINE
®
Warmer power cord by a black mark. Mounting
®
Warmer above 107cm (42") may result in
instability of the pole and tipping.
• Do not autoclave or immerse any part of the HOTLINE
®
Warmer
in liquids, which may cause damage and improper functioning.
• Ensure that the HOTLINE
onto the I.V. pole. Failure to securely mount the HOTLINE
Warmer onto the I.V. pole may cause the HOTLINE
®
Warmer clamp is screwed tightly
®
to slide
®
down the I.V. pole.
• Do not use the HOTLINE
®
Warmer if equipment or Disposable
Set malfunction is evident.
• Not for use with pressure devices generating over 300 mmHg.
Pressure greater than 300 mmHg may compromise the integrity
of the HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set.
• This device is cooled by convection. Be sure the air vents on the
bottom and the back of the device are kept clear.

Additional WARNINGS and CAUTIONS for Accessories
WARNINGS for the L-10 Gas Vent
• Do not tape over vents, else air will not be vented.
• Not for use with volumetric infusion pumps, hand pumps, or
syringes. These may compromise the integrity of the L-10 Gas
Vent or HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set.
• When the L-10 Gas Vent is in use, it should be placed at or
below the heart level. Do not raise the gas vent above the
patient’s heart level. If the gas vent is raised above heart level,
air may be entrained into the infusion line, possibly causing air
embolism, resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTIONS for the L-10 Gas Vent
• Contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic
reactions.

Temperature Verification of the Recirculating Solution
Use the Level 1® TEMP CHECK Thermometer (HLTA-40) to verify the
displayed recirculating solution temperature. Other methods of
temperature verification may be inaccurate.
HOTLINE
Fluid Warmer
b
a
o
C
TEMP CHECK provides an accurate reading of the highest temperature of
the recirculating solution. Because the temperature of the reservoir is
typically 0.5°C to 2.0°C lower than the temperature from the heater, and
the temperature of the recirculating solution begins to drop due to the
effect of ambient temperature on the HOTLINE
®
Fluid Warming Set, the
highest temperature of the solution is just after it leaves the heater. During
the temperature verification test, the TEMP CHECK is positioned on the
right side of the HOTLINE
solution just after it leaves the heater and before it enters the HOTLINE
®
Warmer attached to the socket and senses the
®
Fluid Warming Set.

Periodic Electrical Testing
Electrical Safety Tests must be performed by qualified personnel authorized
by the institution to perform such testing. The Safety Tests must be
performed and documented at least once per year, or according to
institutional policy. These tests include but are not limited to:
• Leakage current
•Ground bond test
Leakage Current
Leakage current must be tested according to methods and pass/fail
criteria described in UL 2601-1 or EN 60601-1. Leakage current must be
performed with the heater circuit in the full ON condition. To achieve
this condition, perform the test when the reservoir is at room
temperature. When the HOTLINE

Warmer
The HOTLINE® Warmer is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF

disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the HOTLINE
Warmer can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
®
communications equipment (transmitters) and the HOTLINE

is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer.
