Level 1 Hotline® Alternative

Notes:

[1] The term “Max Delivery Rate” means “the maximum flow rate in which target temperature – typically 38°C — will be reached”.
[2] E.g. hand pump, LifeFlow-like devices, etc.
[3] Based on manufacturer published data, the device cannot warm blood or near freeze fluids in flow rates exceeding 83ml/min. Therefore, high flows generated by push-pull resuscitation techniques may be difficult for the device to handle. It is recommended to consult with the manufacturer.
[4] To facilitate warming during interfacility and intra-facility transports.

Use of the Warrior is subject to QinFlow’s terms of use. This benchmark study does not intend to cover all the differences between the devices. QinFlow does not guarantee that Hotline® will achieve the results or perform as mentioned in the benchmark study.
