QinFlow's Warrior Blood and IV Fluid Warmer Outperformed Competition in an Independent Study

Plano TX – An independent study carried out by researchers affiliated with Rambam Medical Center (Haifa, Israel), Technion Institute of Technology (Haifa, Israel), Israel Defense Forces (Tel Aviv, Israel), and University of Wisconsin (Madison, WI, USA), concluded that QinFlow Warrior (Quality in Flow, Tel-Aviv, Israel) outperforms the Belmont Buddy Lite (Belmont Instrument Corporation, Billerica, Massachusetts, USA), Carefusion enFlow (CareFusion Corporation, San Diego, California, USA), and Estill Medical Thermal Angel (Estill Medical Technologies, Dallas, Texas, USA). The warming performance of the devices was measured at two fluid incoming temperatures (10 and 20 degrees Celsius) and three flow rates (50, 100, and 200 mL/min). The researchers reported that they “found significant differences between the fluid warmers”. They concluded that “the Warrior provides the best warming performance at high infusion rates, as well as low input temperatures, and was able to warm the largest volumes in these conditions”. They also concluded that “the use of the Buddy Lite should be limited to moderate input temperature and low flow rates" and that "the use of the Thermal Angel is limited to low volumes due to battery capacity and low output temperature at extreme conditions”. The researchers recommended that due to the significant differences between the devices, “clinicians should be aware of the limitations of each device to best match it to the planned cli...
