SECTION 2

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 Operating light illuminates on this panel when 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. The device may not function as intended with the use of unapproved parts, accessories, or Disposable Sets.
• Do not fill the HOTLINE Warming Set in place. Failure to remove the HOTLINE
®
reservoir with a HOTLINE® Fluid

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

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

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

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

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 temperature is rapidly rising, but still below 41°C, the heater circuit is in a full ON condition.

equipment and 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
Warmer as recommended below, according
to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
