The HOTLINE ® blood and fluid warmer provides the most consistent normothermic blood and fluid delivery performance across a range of fluid warmers. This consistency is achieved through the unique system design which is comprised of a warmer with a pump to circulate warmth-transferring fluid and a disposable fluid warming set with triple lumen construction. The triple lumen tubing allows blood or fluid to be warmed as it travels through the sterile center lumen while heated circulating fluid flows through the outer lumens, enveloping the center lumen in warmth. The Importance of Maintaining NormothermiaKeeping your patients at a normal body temperature is crucial to the prevention of complications resulting from unintended perioperative hypothermia, which occurs when the body’s core temperature falls below 36°C. Unintended perioperative hypothermia has been called a frequent, preventable complication of surgery. Among the 51 million inpatient and 34.7 million ambulatory surgeries occurring annually in the United States, it is estimated that 50-90% suffer from accidental hypothermia.(1-4).

The triple lumen tubing allows blood or fluid to travel through the sterile center lumen of the HOTLINE ® fluid warming set to the patient as heated circulating fluid flows through the two outer lumens, enveloping the center lumen in warmth.
Because the outer and central lumens are entirely separate, the recirculating solution never comes in contact with the infused blood or fluid, and therefore presents no risk of cross-contamination and is an essential safety feature to the HOTLINE ® blood and fluid warmer.
