Designed to Improve the Patient's Experience
The Ready-Box® Contrast Media Warmer heats iodinated contrast media to body temperature. This decreased viscosity can allow for increased flow rates at lower pressure.
Better by Design:
- Front-opening door with transparent plastic panel for greater visibility and easy access.
- Open coil heating for even heat distribution with over-temperature protection for safety.
- Lightweight aluminum construction for easier mobility.
- Compartmentalized shelves and partitions for flexible storage.
- Internal thermostat to ensure consistent temperature.
- Key lock for increased security.
Extrinsic warming of iodinated contrast material to human body temperature (37°C) may be helpful to minimize complications and improve vascular opacification in the following circumstances1:
- For high-rate (> 5 mL/second) IV LOCM power injections
- For injections of viscous iodinated contrast
- For direct arterial injections through small-caliber catheters (5 French or smaller)
- For intravenously injected arterial studies in which timing and peak enhancement are critical features
