Device Story
ASTOFLO PLUS is a dry-heat fluid warmer for clinical use by trained healthcare professionals. Device consists of a control unit and a silicon sleeve warmer. Input: disposable fluid lines (up to 7.00 mm diameter) inserted into the sleeve. Operation: resistance heating system transfers heat via contact to the fluid lines; integrated sensors monitor sleeve temperature. Output: warmed fluids/blood; visual and audible alarms for unsafe conditions. The device mounts to IV poles or medical rails. Benefits: prevents patient hypothermia during fluid administration. Healthcare providers use the control unit to set/monitor temperature and respond to alarms.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification activities confirmed the system's ability to warm fluids, prevent cooling, and detect/alarm at unsafe operating conditions. Compliance with DIN EN60601-1, DIN EN60601-1-2, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, ASTM F 2172-02, and IEC60601-2-16:1998 was verified.
Technological Characteristics
Dry-heat warming system; silicon tube sleeve warmer; resistance heating elements; integrated temperature sensors. Dimensions: approx 3.0 kg. Power: 22 VDC (from 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz). Connectivity: standalone control unit with display. Standards: ASTM F 2172-02, DIN EN60601-1, IEC60601-2-16.
Indications for Use
Indicated for warming transfusions, infusions, fluids, and blood return flow in patients requiring fluid therapy to prevent undesirable cooling.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

#### DEVICE NAME:
Name: Blood and Infusion Warmer Proprietary Model: ASTOFI.O PLUS Classification: 2 Product Code: BSB Regulation: (864.9205) Warmer, Thermal, Infusion Fluid Warmer, Blood, Non-Electromagnetic
#### PREDICATE DEVICES:
Stihler Electronic GmbH, Blood Warmer Model ASTOFLO - K020060 Barkey GmbH + Co. KG, Blood Warmer Model Prismacomfort - K071909
#### DESCRIPTION:
The ASTOFLO PLUS is a modified version of the ASTOFLO covered by K020060. The ASTOFLO uses the closed water circuit where the temperature of the closed water circuit is controlled by sensors. ASTOFLO PI.US uses dry heat warming and the control the sleeve temperature with integrated sensors.
The ASTOFLO PLUS blood warmer is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the legally marketed (predicate) Stihler ASTOFLO 510(K) Number 020060 and Barkey Prismacomfort 510(K) Number K071909. The ASTOFLO PLUS blood warmer is used to warm the transfusions, infusions, fluids and also return blood flow in the medical field. The ASTOFLO PLUS warmer consists of one control unit and one sleeve warmer. The control unit (ASTOFLO PLUS) controls the sleeve warmer made by Stihler and displays alarm and status messages.
{1}------------------------------------------------
# K082765 Pr
The ASTOFLO PLUS warmer warms blood, infusions, fluids and return blood flow by means of a silicon tube heat exchanger, which covers the fluid lines used in the medical field nearly complete. The heat is transferred by the contact of the resistance heating system to the inserted disposable lines need in the medical field. The nearly complete enclosure of the disposable lines used in the medical field to be warmed ensures that there is good warmth conduction to the fluids and there are no temperature losses to the surroundings. The warmth produced by the sleeve warmer is therefore transferred to the disposable lines used in the medical field and may be used with any therapy choices. when heat loss may cause undesirable cooling of the patient.
The sleeve warmer is powered with 22 VDC which is derived from 115 VAC (or where required 230 VAC), 50/60 Hz power supply and is controlled by an on-off switch on the front panel of the control unit Stihler ASTOFLO PLUS. Above the on-off switch is a display temperature monitor. The temperature of the sleeve warmer visual and audible alarms and other performance characteristic of the sleeve warmer are controlled electronically. Like the blood warmer Stihler ASTOFLO and the Barkey Prismacomfort, the sleeve warmer Stihler ASTOFLO PLUS is constructed as a slotted enclosed silicon tube, which can completely enclose inserted bluod return flow lines of up to 7.00 mm diameter. The ASTOFLO Plus weighs approx 3.0 kg and is equipped with a holder at the rear side of the control unit, which allows mounting on i.v. poles and medical rails. All three products, the Stihler ASTOFLO PLUS, Barkey Prismacomfort and the Sticker ASTOFI.O use sleeve warmers made of silicon. The flexibility of this material ensures a nearly complete enclosure of the disposable lines used in the medical field.
#### INTENDED USE:
The ASTOFLO PLUS warmer is used for 1. Warming transfusions, infusions. 2. Warming blood transfusions and return flow.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. It is intended to be used only by appropriately trained and qualified healthcare professionals and servicing staff in clinical environments.
#### SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTS AND DESIGN CONTROL ACTIVITIES:
The ASTOFLO PLUS blood, infusions, fluid and return blood flow warmer complies with the safety standards below and is therefore safe for the intended use. The device has been tested through validation and verification of specification of compliance with the following mandatory and voluntary standards has been made:
- DIN EN60601 I ●
- DIN EN60601-1-2 (All EMC and Immunity references) ●
- UL 2601-1/10.97 .
- � CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90
- ASTM F 2172-02 (USA Standard for Blood and Fluid Warmers) .
- IEC60601-2-16:1998 (reference Standard for dialysate temperature) .

In order to verify effective performance of the Stihler ASTOLFO PLUS blood, infusions and return blood flow warmer in support of substantial equivalence, the following tests were carried out successfully:
- Verify the ability of the system to warming fluids and to prevent cooling down of blood, . infusions and return blood flows used in all therapy choices of the medical field.
- Verify the ability of the system to protect the patient and to detect and alarm at unsafe i operating conditions.
This control activity shows that there are no new questions of safety and effectiveness for the ASTOFLO PLUS blood, infusions, fluid and return blood flow warmer as compared to both of the predicate devices including the modified device.
### CONCLUSION:
The ASTOFLO PLUS blood, infusions, fluid and return blood flow warmer is substantially equivalent to the Stihler ASTOFLO. ASTOFLO PLUS and ASTOFLO have the same intended use and are capable of heating blood, infusions. fluids and return flow line in the medical field. Both systems as intended according to the specifications of the device.
The ASTOFLO is the same as the ASTOFLO PLUS made by Stihler except the ASTOFLO PLUS consists of one control unit and one applied part (the slecve warmer), the ASTOFLO is one complete system which means that the warming device is fix connected to the supply part (the control unit). The ASTOFLO PLUS uses dry heat and ASTOFLO uses the closed water circuit.
The ASTOFLO PLUS is substantially equivalent to Barkey Prismacomfort. Note equivalence items:
- have same fundamental scientific technology and use the same operating principle, -
- heating sleeves are constructed of identical materials, •
- both the ASTOFLO PLUS and the Prismacomfort give efficient heat to keep blood return line warm.
- both the ASTOFLO PLUS and the Prismacomfort use the same structure. Both consist of one control unit and one applied port (the sleeve warmer).
- both the ASTOFLO PLUS and the Prismacomfort use the same principle of dry heat . warming and control the sleeve temperature with integrated sensors inside the sleeve.
