DESIGN for HEALTHCARE

Tyco Healthcare, Fluid Warmer

VITAL: International observational research and in-depth ergonomic analysis drove the development of this system for warming I.V. fluids to maintain a patient's core body temperature. A. The tubing clamps are designed for single-handed operation by hands of all sizes. B. Color-coded parts facilitate correct usage, even during emergencies. As a whole, looking more like jewelry than typical hospital equipment, the I.V. fluid warmer brings Metaphase's concept of "The Dignity Factor"^TM to OR's, ER's, and Trauma Wards.
