Section 2: Introduction

Product Description

The Ranger blood/fluid warming system consists of a Model 245 warming unit and a sterile disposable fluid warming set.
The 3M™ Ranger™ blood/fluid warming system includes a warming unit and a disposable warming set. The Ranger blood/fluid warming system is designed
to warm blood, blood products, and liquids and deliver these at flow rates from KVO to 500 mL/min. At these flow rates, the device maintains fluid output
temperatures ranging from 33°C to 41°C (Note: Output temperatures are dependent on input fluid temperatures and flow rate). It takes less than 2 minutes
to warm up to the 41°C set point temperature. The alert points on the Model 245 are 43° and 44°C.
Disposable blood/fluid warming sets are available in: pediatric flow, standard flow, and high flow applications. Warming sets are sterile, not made with
natural rubber latex, single-use-only items and are designed to be used with the warming unit.
The Ranger blood/fluid warming unit is designed to be mounted to an I.V. pole. A handle located on the top of the unit makes transport easy. When mounted
to the I.V. pole, the unit fits easily above the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ warming unit.
This manual includes operating instructions and unit specifications for the Ranger blood/fluid warming system. For information about using Ranger blood/
fluid warming sets with the Ranger blood/fluid warming unit, Model 245, refer to the "Instructions for Use" included with each warming set. The Ranger
blood/fluid warming system should only be used in healthcare facilities by trained medical professionals.

Indications for use

The Ranger blood/fluid warmer is intended to warm blood, blood products, and liquids.

Patient Population and Settings

Adult and pediatric patients being treated in operating rooms, emergency trauma settings, or other areas where blood/fluids are infused.

Explanation of Signal Word Consequences

WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage only.

WARNING:

1. To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and fire and thermal energy hazards:
• Do not substitute other devices (i.e. Model 247) for the Ranger blood/fluid warming unit or Ranger blood/fluid warming sets.
• Do not continue use of the unit if the over-temperature alert continues to sound and the temperature does not return to the set point temperature.
Immediately stop fluid flow and discard the warming set. Have the blood/fluid warming unit tested by a biomedical technician or call 3M.
2. To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage and fire:
• Do not modify or service this device, and do not open the warming unit case as there are no user-serviceable parts in the unit.
• Connect power cord to receptacles marked "Hospital Only," "Hospital Grade," or a reliably grounded outlet.
• Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use.
• Do not allow the power cord to get wet.
• Do not use the Ranger blood/fluid warming system when it appears the unit power cord, or warming set is damaged. Use only 3M specified
replacement parts.
• Keep power cord visible and accessible at all times. The plug on the power cord serves as the disconnect device. The wall socket outlet shall be as
close as practical and shall be easily accessible.
• Do not use with a multiple socket outlet or extension cord.
• Do not use this equipment adjacent to, stacked with or in combination with other equipment without verifying that the total leakage current from the
combined equipment does not exceed the safety limits for Type BF equipment and to assure normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
