The EmTherm® medical warming cabinets are designed for the precise warming of:
Available in sizes of 30, 60, and 300 liters loading capacity, these IV fluid and blanket warming cabinets cater to various clinical needs
The temperature range can be set from 25°C to 70°C, allowing customization according to individual requirements. These devices are fully compliant with medical standards, classified as Class I under Regulation (EU) 2017/745.
Many clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of warming infusion fluids before administering them to the patient. The occurrence of even mild hypothermia in patients increases the risk of infectious complications, extends hospitalization time and increases the amount of medications taken.
Failure to maintain normothermia in a patient means not only the deterioration of the patient’s condition, but also increased financial costs for the hospital. Guidelines emphasize the importance of warming IV fluids and use of IV fluid warming cabinets as part of the prevention of hypothermia.
The EmTherm® warming cabinets are equipped with lamps emitting UV-C radiation, which disinfect pathogens (fungi, bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses) present on the surface of the charge heated in cabinets.
EmTherm® medical warming cabinets are ideal for hospital environments, serving as blanket warmers, IV fluid warming cabinets units essential for maintaining patient comfort and safety. Whether used as a IV fluid warmer hospital device or a large blanket warmer for specific needs, these medical warming cabinets ensure that all warming requirements are met with precision and reliability. The EmThrm’s® IV fluid and textiles cabinets portfolio is designed for hospital use, ensuring compliance with the highest medical standards.
By integrating EmTherm® warming units into your clinical practice, you ensure optimal patient care and operational efficiency.
Infusion fluids, irrigation fluids, contrast agents, peritoneal dialysis fluids, textiles and medical accessories. A single cabinet can serve more than one of these purposes, although fluids and textiles are often kept separate where volumes are high or where different settings are needed at the same time.
Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia increases the risk of surgical wound infection and lengthens hospital stay (Kurz et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 1996), raises the incidence of morbid cardiac events (Frank et al., JAMA, 1997), and increases blood loss and transfusion requirement (Rajagopalan et al., Anesthesiology, 2008). Warming intravenous and irrigation fluids is one of the measures used to prevent it.
NICE recommends that intravenous fluids of 500 ml or more and blood products be warmed to 37 °C using a fluid warming device, and that all irrigation fluids used intraoperatively be warmed in a thermostatically controlled cabinet to 38–40 °C (NICE CG65, recommendations 1.3.6 and 1.3.9). For irrigation fluids the guideline names a cabinet specifically.
They solve different problems and most theatres use both. An in-line warmer heats fluid as it runs into the patient and is the right tool for rapid infusion and transfusion. A cabinet pre-warms stock so that fluids, irrigation solutions and blankets are ready at the point of care — and for irrigation fluids the guideline names a cabinet, not an in-line device.
Size to the busiest shift rather than the daily average, and to the place where the fluids are actually used. An undersized cabinet gets propped open or bypassed, which removes the benefit entirely. A benchtop unit suits a treatment room, a mid-sized mobile cabinet a ward, and a large mobile cabinet a theatre or central sterilisation unit.
The cabinets are fitted with UV-C lamps that disinfect pathogens — fungi, bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses — present on the surface of the load being warmed. It is relevant where infection control requirements extend to the warmed items themselves, not only to the cabinet.
Data recording and transfer are available as an option. If your audit or accreditation process requires evidence that fluids were warmed correctly, specify this at the point of purchase — it is rarely straightforward to add later.
