EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Fluid warmer (anaesthetic ampoules)

Hi All,

We are looking into warming anaesthetic ampoules to body temperature. The ampoules are constructed of glass and hold 2ml. Can anybody recommend a suitable approved device/product.

Many thanks

Lee

A common-or-garden water bath (as found in clinical labs)?

Hi Geoff,

Any sort of fluid warmer, some sort of control of the temperature. A lab one would probably be ok? I have already approached our labs but they haven't got back to me.

They are considering a baby milk bottle warmer?

What do you think?

Thanks

Lee

I would say "anything that does the job". It could even be a laboratory incubator.

I'm also wondering how these ampoules are (to be) handled - and also where and how many, as any (or all) of those factors may impact on which is the best kit to be employed.
