Johnson VA Medical Center is seeking to procure two Level 1 H-1200 Fast Flow Fluid Warmer with Integrated Air Detector/Clamp (rapid infusers) and various disposable normothermic IV administration sets. These rapid infusers and normothermic IV administration sets will be utilized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to meet requirements for current and future needs of our patients.

2. Background: Louis A. Johnson VA Healthcare System located at 1 Medical Center Drive Clarksburg; WV 26301 needs to purchase 2 Level 1 H-1200 Fast Flow Fluid Warmer with Integrated Air Detector/Clamp (rapid infusers) and various disposable normothermic IV administration sets for the implementation of the rapid transfusion protocol.

3. Scope: The infusers must meet the following minimum specifications:

Level 1 H-1200 Fast Flow Fluid Warmer with integrated Air Detector/Clamp (H-1200-EN-115V-US) Qty 2
Provides a rapid flow of warmed fluids, such as crystalloid or blood product (including red blood cells) at a maximum flow rate of up to 1400 ml/min.
Automated Pressure Chambers
-Mounted pressure chambers allow for fast and easy bag changes
-Accommodate standard blood and crystalloid bags
-On/Off toggle switch automatically pressurizes chambers to a constant pressure of 300 mm Hg
Heat Exchanger
-Counter-current recirculating solution maintained at 107.6°F/42°C provides effective and stable heating
Built-In Safety Features
-Air detector/clamp automatically stops flow if air is present, and removes it without disconnecting from the patient
-Displays reservoir solution and notifies user if volume is low or is over the acceptable temperature for safe use
-Notifies user if disposable set is not properly installed
Easy to Use
-Disposables are simple to insert and remove, with numbered blocks on the warmer
-Gas vent/filter assembly can be changed without replacing the entire disposable
-Durable surface makes it easy to clean
-Large roller wheels allow for easy transport within facility
Air Detector/Clamp
-Operating Mode LED lights green when the fluid warmer is on, the disposable is properly installed, and the air detector/clamp door is closed
-Check Tubing Mode LED lights yellow and an audible alarm sound when the patient line tubing has not been properly placed in the air detector/ clamp slot and/or when the clamp slot door is not correctly closed
-Air detector/clamp mode LED lights red and an audible alarm sound when air is detected in the gas vent/filter assembly. The patient line is automatically clamped, preventing fluid from going into the patient; it then unclamps and resumes operation once all air is removed through the gas vent. The line is not disconnected from the patient
Must meet AABB standard for blood warming
