Principle of Operation
The schematic illustration on the following page depicts the
Level 1 ® NORMOFLO ® H-1100 Irrigation Fluid Warmer operations. The
primary operations are described below.
Fluid Warming
The Level 1 ® NORMOFLO ® H-1100 Irrigation Fluid Warmer utilizes a
solution reservoir housed in a controller unit. Recirculating solution is
warmed and pumped through a heat exchanger (a part of the
Disposable Set). The solution is returned to the reservoir for
continuous recirculation and remains isolated from the patient and
from the irrigating fluid path. The recirculating solution is heated to a
pre-set temperature. The system continuously monitors and controls
the recirculating solution temperature. The Level 1 ® NORMOFLO ®
H-1100 Irrigation Fluid Warmer is designed to stop fluid warming and
provide audible and visual alarms in the event of an over-temperature
condition.
