PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid warming device capable of more efficiently controlling heat loss along an IV tube.SOLUTION: A fluid warming device 10 includes axially or longitudinally slidable covers 16 that retain a removable heat exchange body 18 in a housing 12 in heat exchange communication with a heater assembly while allowing a flow through the heat exchange body to be observed. In another aspect, a fluid warming system increases or decreases power to the heater assembly to adjust the fluid temperature to ensure that the fluid is at an appropriate temperature when the fluid reaches a patient.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
