Definitions
- the present invention relates to a compact, self-contained fluid heating device.
- the invention relates to devices for heating fluids such as blood that can be used in remote locations.
- Blood for transfusions is typically stored at approximately 4°C. Prior to patient transfusions, it is preferable that the blood be warmed to a temperature substantially the same as that of the living body, approximately 37°C. Failure to warm the blood prior to transfusion, may result in the patient's core temperature dropping to dangerous levels potentially resulting in hypothermia.
- Portable devices for warming blood are also known, such as those devices sold under the THERMAL ANGEL and HO TIV trade marks. Both of these existing devices rely on batteries to provide the source for heating the infusion or transfusion fluid.
- batteries there are however a number of problems with batteries including that they are heavy, bulky and require replacement or recharging at regular intervals. Given that heating equipment places substantial load on the batteries, it is not possible for these batteries to be small. Additionally, the maintenance issues associated with batteries are such that, for example, if the portable blood warmer is used in an emergency vehicle then it is necessary that regular checks are made on the condition of the battery or indeed that spare batteries are available such that there is always a source of power available. Furthermore, the requirement of batteries in order to operate the blood warmer dramatically increases the overall weight of the apparatus and therefore if rescue workers are required to trek into a remote location this then places an additional burden on them and may complicate matters if the unit fails to operate due to problems associated with the power source.
- the warming devices can also be used to heat infusion fluids, such as pharmaceuticals and saline fluids.
- Portable devices for warming transfusion and infusion fluids using chemical processes to generate the required heat have also been attempted. Disclosures of such attempts can be found in patent documents, US5042455, US4934336,
- WO2003059414 W02008017456, and by the present inventors' earlier application, WO2006056015.
- One potential problem of using chemical reaction described in the prior art to generate the required heat is the challenge of controlling and regulating the heat generated by the chemical reaction, which otherwise has the potential to damage the blood or infusion fluids if the temperature is raised too high.
- the inventors have experimented with using a chemical reaction that releases latent heat, upon solidification, at approximately 42°C, which is about the maximum temperature blood can tolerate before damage may occur. Results of an experiment undertaken by the inventors can be found in the disclosure, McEwen, M.P. and D. Roxby, " Can latent heat safely warm blood? - in vitro testing of a portable prototype blood warmer.
- a device for warming infusion or transfusion fluids by an exothermic reaction of a reactive liquid including at least one reaction chamber containing a trigger, and a passageway extending through said reaction chamber for movement of said infusion or transfusion fluids therethrough, wherein the reactive liquid is introduced into said reaction chamber, being at least partially evacuated of air, to thereby initiate said exothermic reaction.
- the reaction chamber may be held at negative atmospheric pressure or alternatively the reaction chamber may be expandable, whereby when expanded the contents of said reaction chamber are at negative atmospheric pressure, for instance the reaction chamber may be collapsible in a concertina type fashion.
- the trigger may be a catalyst or another chemical that reacts with said reactive liquid resulting in the crystallisation thereof.
- the trigger is a chemical trigger, or in another form the trigger is a mechanical trigger.
- the trigger for initiating the exothermic reaction may be crystals or alternatively the trigger may be a powder or other particulate that initiates the exothermic reaction.
- the passageway extending through said reaction chamber is isolated from the contents of the reaction chamber to inhibit contamination of said infusion or transfusion fluids.
- the passageway extending through the reaction chamber for movement of the infusion or transfusion fluids therethrough may be a length of flexible tubing.
- the trigger is contained within the reaction chamber and the reactive liquid is contained within a secondary chamber, the reaction and secondary chambers being separated by a frangible or removable barrier.
- the reaction and secondary chambers may be flexible wherein the secondary chamber may be compressed to rupture the frangible barrier to thereby introduce the reactive liquid into the reaction chamber.
- the barrier is a clamp that separates the reaction and secondary chambers, whereby when the clamp is removed the reactive liquid is able to flow or be compelled into the reaction chamber.
- the inventors have discovered that the reaction can be accelerated by introducing the reactive liquid into a reaction chamber that is at least partially evacuated of air, and that contains a trigger such as crystals or particulate matter or any other means that induces the reactive liquid to crystallise.
- a trigger such as crystals or particulate matter or any other means that induces the reactive liquid to crystallise.
- the rapid movement of reactive liquid with respect to the trigger that initialises or promotes crystallization enables the growing crystals (solidification) to break and spread throughout the reactive liquid without being localized in one part of the reaction chamber that may cause blockages.
- a liquid chemical can flow relatively rapidly if there is minimal liquid or gas to displace in the reaction chamber.
- the rapid flow disrupts, removes or breaks the growing crystals from localising in one area, which would normally be near the inlet port where the reactive liquid first comes into contact with the trigger that initiates the crystallization process and would then normally block or restrict the port. This would then impede or prevent all the reactive liquid from entering the chamber, and thus slowing or preventing a complete chemical reaction from occurring.
- the rapid flow of the crystallising liquid chemical can be further enhanced by the avoidance of passing the chemical through narrow openings or large distances.
- the fluid warmer is constructed such that the average distance for the reactive liquid to travel, from all points in the secondary chamber to all points in the reaction chamber will not exceed half the total length of the fluid passageway; and openings of larger than 10 square millimetres are provided for the movement of the chemical within the reaction chamber.
- the rapid flow of the crystallising liquid chemical may be yet further enhanced by locating the trigger within the reaction chamber away from both the inlet port and a main liquid chemical pathway or pathways, through the reaction chamber. Keeping these regions free of the trigger can reduce the tendency for crystals to grow in these regions and block or impede the movement of the liquid chemical.
- a portable, disposable device for warming infusion or transfusion fluids by an exothermic reaction of a reactive liquid, wherein said device includes;
- a flexible reaction chamber being at least partially evacuated of air, containing a trigger
- reaction and secondary chambers being separated by a frangible or removable barrier, wherein the reactive liquid may be introduced into said reaction chamber by rupturing or removing said barrier to thereby initiate said exothermic reaction;
- the trigger is held at negative atmospheric pressure within the reaction chamber to assist with the flow of the reactive liquid therethrough.
- the removal of the barrier causes the reaction and secondary chambers to form one single chamber.
- the compression member is used for forcing the reactive liquid into the reaction chamber and past or around the passageway that carries the infusion or transfusion fluid.
- the means for forcing the reactive liquid to move may include the manual manipulation of the flexible reaction and/or secondary chambers.
- the reaction chamber may be formed within a generally planar envelope constructed from a resiliently flexible material. A portion of said tubing being contained within the envelope, wherein the tubing having an inlet and an outlet extending outwardly from within said envelope, for passage of a fluid therethrough.
- the envelope is preferably atmospherically sealed such that the reaction chamber is at least partially evacuated of air.
- the envelope may be connected to the secondary chamber by way of at least one port and in one form may be connected by a plurality of ports.
- a resiliently flexible bladder may form said secondary chamber wherein the compression member may extend along a side of said bladder opposite said port.
- the compression member in one form is a generally rigid rod, wherein after removal of the barrier between said-reaction and secondary chambers the rod may be progressively folded over the bladder, or the secondary chamber may be rolled around the rod, to force the reactive liquid contained therein into the reaction chamber to thereby undergo said exothermic reaction.
- the generally empty bladder may be progressively folded over the flexible envelope or the flexible envelope may be rolled around the rod, to move said reactive liquid throughout the reaction chamber.
- the layering or rolling of the device will reduce the surface area in direct contact with the ambient air and therefore inhibit radiant, convection and conductive heat loss therefrom. Furthermore, the folding or rolling of the device will inhibit crystals from forming a barrier within the reaction chamber that may inhibit movement of the reactive liquid to the extremities of the reaction chamber.
- reaction chamber may be formed within a collapsible container or box that in one form includes a foldable frame.
- the reactive liquid may be any chemical or mixture of chemicals that produce an exothermic reaction at the desired temperature and with the desired amount of heat energy released.
- the reactive liquid chemical may be calcium nitrate tetrahydrate.
- the trigger for initiating the exothermic reaction may be calcium nitrate tetrahydrate crystals.
- the tubing extending through the reaction chamber may be of any suitable configuration that maximises the heat transfer from the exothermic reaction to the infusion or transfusion fluid to be warmed within the tubing.
- the tubing configuration through the reaction chamber is indirect and in one form is a generally planar serpentine arrangement.
- the tubing configuration may be in a spring or coiled arrangement, or may be a layered serpentine arrangement.
- the trigger for initiating the exothermic reaction in said reaction chamber may be located in close proximity to the barrier between the reaction and secondary chambers.
- the reaction chamber may include a means for aiding in the exothermic reaction or transferral of heat.
- metal strips may be contained within the reaction chamber for conducting heat to said tube.
- crystals, powder or particulate may be positioned throughout the reaction chamber to assist in a generally constant reaction through the chamber. In one form the crystals, powder or particulate may be attached to the inner wall of reaction chamber, or to the walls of the passageway adjacent the reaction chamber.
- a device for warming infusion or transfusion fluids by an exothermic reaction of a reactive liquid including a reaction chamber containing said crystallisation trigger, a secondary chamber containing said reactive liquid, a passageway for movement of the infusion or transfusion fluids therethrough extending through both reaction and secondary chambers such that the portion of the passageway within the reaction chamber being in a compressed state, and a removable barrier between the two chambers, whereby removal of said barrier causes the crystallisation trigger to contact the reactive liquid and permits the compressed passageway to expand, thereby spreading the crystallisation reaction into the reaction chamber.
- a further aspect of the invention resides in a method for warming infusion or transfusion fluids to be administered to a patient, the method including the steps of: removing a barrier between a reaction chamber and a secondary chamber of a warming device, the reaction chamber, at least partially evacuated of air, containing a trigger, and the secondary chamber containing a reactive liquid, whereby the removal of the barrier initiates an exothermic reaction of the reactive liquid; and

- Figure 8 is a perspective view of another alternate embodiment of the tubing
- Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment of the device (10) of the present invention including a reaction chamber (1 1 ) for containing the exothermic reaction.
- This reaction chamber further contains the tubing (12) in a planar serpentine arrangement through which the infusion or transfusion fluid to be warmed can pass between inlet (14) and outlet (13).
- the reaction chamber (1 1 ) has a generally envelope shaped configuration.
- the reaction chamber (11 ) is connected to a secondary chamber (15) that contains a reactive liquid compound needed for the exothermic reaction.
- a secondary chamber (15) that contains a reactive liquid compound needed for the exothermic reaction.
- a clamp (21 ) comprising a rigid plastic C section (17) and a flexible rubber insert (18), which acts as a barrier.
- the rigid plastic C-section (17) and flexible rubber insert (18) are removed, as illustrated in figure 3, allowing the reactive liquid to flow through an inlet port (16) into the reaction chamber (1 1 ).
- the reactive liquid flows into the reaction chamber (1 1 ) it will come into contact with the trigger that initiates the exothermic reaction.
- the secondary chamber (15) can be rolled, in the direction of arrow (22), around a pin (19), as illustrated in figure 4, pushing the reactive liquid along the length of the reaction chamber (11 ), as indicated by arrows 23.
- the mechanical action of rolling the chamber improves the mixing of the reactive liquid with the trigger, allowing widespread crystallisation of the reactive liquid and hence faster release of heat to warm the liquid passing through the tubing (12).
- the reaction chamber can be rolled around the secondary chamber, to form a compact bundle which can then be secured by a suitable means, such as an adhesive tape or hook and loop fastener.
- the compact layout of the tubing (12) enables the average distance (24) for the reactive liquid to travel, from all points in the secondary chamber (15) to all points in the reaction chamber (1 1 ) to be relatively small.
- the trigger may be crystals (25) that are located adjacent inlet port (16), as illustrated in figure 5, such that as the reactive liquid moves past the crystals (25) in the direction of arrows 23 crystallisation is initiated once the clamp (21 ) has been removed.
- the rapid flow of the crystallising liquid chemical may be yet further enhanced by locating the trigger within the reaction chamber away from both the inlet port (16) to thereby create a liquid pathway or pathways (26) through the reaction chamber (1 1 ), as illustrated in figure 6. Keeping the inlet port (16) free of the trigger can reduce the tendency for crystals to grow and block or impede the movement of the liquid chemical into the chamber, while the provision of pathways (26) controls the crystallisation within the reaction chamber (1 1 ).
- Figure 7 illustrates another embodiment of the invention.
- the tubing (12) is shown in a spiralled compactable coiled arrangement.
- the reaction chamber (1 1 ) might be in the shape of a cylinder (27).
- the cylinder (27) might have side walls that are concertinaed such that the reaction chamber (1 1 ) can be expanded when in use to partially evacuate air from within the chamber (1 1 ) and enable it to be compressed and extended to allow a physical manipulation of the reaction chamber in the event of a blockage.
- Figure 8 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention.
- the tubing (12) is shown in a compactable layered serpentine arrangement.
- the reaction chamber (11) might be in the shape of a box (28).
- the box (28) might have side walls and a frame (29) that are concertinaed that allow the chamber to be partially evacuated of air as well as enabling it to be compressed and extended to allow a physical manipulation of the reaction chamber.
- the above descriptions provide for the use of a fluid warming device that employs relatively inexpensive materials and chemicals that provide for a temperature increase in order to warm the infusion or transfusion fluids in a controlled manner.
- the low cost and the simplicity of the apparatus make it very suitable for use in emergency situations or in situations where the unit may be stored for a substantial amount of time without having to worry about problems associated with power supply.
- the fluid warming device is lightweight, several may be carried in a field emergency medical kit often used by rescuers travelling to remote locations.
