Indications for Use

The Barkey S-Line blood / fluid warming system is intended to deliver warm blood, blood products, and liquids to adult and pediatric patients. It delivers the fluid via intravenous (IV) administration in hospitals and clinical settings where warmed intravenous fluids are required.

Device Story

Barkey S-Line is a blood and infusion fluid warmer; operates as a continuous flow electrically powered heat exchanger. Device consists of a main unit and a silicon warming sleeve with embedded heating wires. User inserts a standard, FDA-cleared IV extension set into the sleeve groove; no direct contact between heating element and fluid. Device operates on 100-240 VAC; maintains a fixed temperature of 39°C. Temperature is monitored and adjusted via hardware comparator circuit; no software or firmware used. Independent overtemperature protector triggers at 43°C +/- 1°C, activating visual (yellow light) and acoustic alarms. Device attaches to IV poles or bedrails via clamp. Used in hospitals and clinical settings by healthcare professionals to prevent hypothermia during fluid infusion.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing included electrical safety (AAMI ANSI ES 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and temperature management per ASTM F2172. Comparative testing against the predicate evaluated temperature versus flow rates to support accuracy and over-temperature prevention.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Silicon warming sleeve with embedded heating wires. Energy: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Principle: Heat exchanger via warming sleeve. Dimensions: 90 x 60 x 160 mm. Weight: ~1.3 kg. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: N/A (device does not contact fluid). Control: Hardware comparator circuit (no software/firmware). Standards: AAMI ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ASTM F2172.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring warmed blood, blood products, or liquids via intravenous administration in hospital and clinical settings.

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.

The infused fluid flows through a standard IV set. The IV line is inserted into a groove in a warming sleeve, referred to as the Sline. The warming sleeve is made of silicon with embedded heating wires. There is no direct contact between the heat exchanging tube and the fluids. The fluid only contacts the off-the-shelf 510(k) I.V. extension set. There is no software / firmware in the device. The S-line operates on 100 - 240 VAC. 50/60 Hz powering an IEC 60601-1 compliant internal power supply. The set temperature is set to 39 ℃ which is not user selectable. The fluid is warmed to approximately 39 ℃ as it travels a path through the heating sleeve. The temperature is constantly monitored and adjusted. The temperature is measured at the end of the extension set, where it leaves the heated sleeve prior to delivery to the patient. The S-line unit weighs approximately 1.3 kg and is equipped with a knob clamp at the back of the devices for attachment to an I.V. pole, the S-line may also be clamped to a bedrail. {4}------------------------------------------------ Independent overtemperature protector monitors the temperature in the warming section. In case of a fault, there is a second overtemperature safety feature which if a temperature of 43°C +/- 1°C is reached, the warming section's heater is switched off, the luminous ring in the display and control panel shows yellow and an acoustic alarm sounds. #### Principle of Operation: The infused fluid flows through a compatible IV extension set. This tube is inserted into a groove in a warming sleeve. The warming sleeve is made of silicon and is heated to a set temperature by an embedded heating wire. All heating is done within the warming sleeve. #### Indications for Use: The Barkey S-Line blood / fluid warming system is intended to deliver warm blood, blood products, and liquids to adult and pediatric patients. It delivers the fluid via intravenous (IV) administration in hospitals and clinical settings where warmed intravenous fluids are required. #### Patient Population: Patients where warming of fluids to be infused is necessitated. #### Environments of use: Hospitals and clinical settings where warmed IV fluids are required.
