The Benefits of Point-of-Care Fluid Warmers

We recently introduced the ivNow Fluid Warmer to our inventory and we are thrilled to offer this great product to our customers. The ivNow Fluid Warmer warms fluids at the point of use – where you need them, when you need them. The convenient, easy-to-use ivNow fluid warmers quickly heat and maintain safe temperatures of intravenous and irrigation fluids while saving space and staff time. Improve processes and recovery time by efficiently warming patients from admission to discharge, reducing surgical site infections.

Safety is a priority with ivNow fluid warmers. The digital display shows the actual temperature of every bag throughout the warming process. The fluid warmer records how long each bag has been warmed in order to comply with healthcare regulations and to reduce waste. After 15 days of continuous warming (user adjustable from 7-60 days), the unit alerts user to remove and discard fluid bag.

Save space – and steps – in patient rooms, surgery centers, and labor and delivery units with these compact units. Simplify procedures by keeping fluids warm and ready to go at the point of care. The unit can be mounted on walls, booms, equipment poles and countertops.

The Benefits of Point-of-Care Fluid Warmers

  • Infection Prevention – Having warmed fluids at point-of-care reduces exposure to harmful viruses and other contaminants.
  • Save time and money – Fluids are available at point-of-care and there are no special set up costs
  • Improve efficiency and Save footsteps – No need to leave the room and go to other departments to get warm fluids or blankets. Not having to leave the O.R. can ensure that the sterile environment is not compromised, and patients are assured warm fluids and blankets as there is no heat loss due to transport.
  • Improve Compliance – The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations requires that fluid warmers be monitored daily for temperature and inventory management. The ivNow precisely displays the actual temperature while monitoring the shelf life of each bag.
  • Improve Clinical Outcomes and Reduce Surgical Site Infections (SSI’s) – Providing your patients with warmed fluids reduces the risk for peri-operative hypothermia which reduces their risk for SSI’s by up to 66%.

The ivNow Fluid Wamer comes in 3 separate configurations – ivNow-1 (1 bag warmer), inNow-2 (2 bag warmer), and ivNow-3 (3 bag wamer). These configurations allow you to customize the number of point-of-care fluid warmers available to your staff to meet your needs.
