Indications for Use
The Enteral Nutrition Warmer is an electronically powered dry warmer, which supplies external heat to the plastic tubing incorporated administration sets for intermittent use and low flow rate applications at 0 to 7mL/min.
Device Story
The Enteral Nutrition Warmer is an electronically powered dry warmer designed for use in clinical settings, such as the NICU, to warm enteral nutrition fluids. It operates by applying controlled external heat to the outer wall of an administration set tubing. The device features a single heating plate, a thermocouple for temperature sensing, and a temperature fuse as a safety mechanism to shut off power if the sensor fails. It is operated by hospital staff via an on/off switch and includes an LED indicator for operational status. By maintaining enteral fluids at a controlled temperature (32°C to 41°C) during delivery, the device aims to improve patient comfort and tolerance during feeding. It is a reusable, non-sterile device powered by a standard 120V electrical outlet.
Clinical Evidence
A human factors study was conducted to assess clinical risks related to the use of the device for warming enteral fluids in neonatal patients by NICU staff. All identified risks were mitigated. Non-clinical bench testing was performed to verify specifications, including maximum temperatures of the housing, heat sink, and enteral fluid, as well as time to reach nominal temperature.
Technological Characteristics
Electronically powered dry warmer; utilizes a thermocouple for temperature sensing and a temperature fuse for over-temperature protection. Heating plate maximum temperature is 48.8°C. Operates on standard 120V AC. Dimensions: 4.67in x 3.42in x 0.74in. Weight: 22.8 ounces. Materials are fire-rated. Provided non-sterile, reusable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for warming enteral fluids in plastic administration tubing for intermittent, low flow rate (0-7 mL/min) applications in neonatal patients.
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.
