Cold blood resuscitation drives hypothermia — one corner of the lethal triad, alongside acidosis and coagulopathy. Transfusing whole blood stored at 39°F drops core temperature and worsens clotting at precisely the moment a hemorrhaging casualty can least afford it. The far-forward gap has always been the same: how do you give warm blood before the casualty reaches a facility?
What delivers normothermic blood at the point of injury — in seconds, off a battery, light enough to carry?
The QUANTUM brings normothermic resuscitation forward into Tactical Field Care and Prolonged Casualty Care, where conventional warmers can't go. Conductive heating elements run between the inner and outer walls of the thermal tubing set — entirely outside the fluid path — while thermistors feed temperature data to a 3-oz controller that modulates power from a 44V lithium battery in real time. The result is consistent 100.4°F (38°C ± 2°C) output regardless of input temperature or flow rate, from a 24-second cold start, with no additional standard transfusion set required. This is a provider-scope system — see the scope note below.
Provider scope: field administration of blood products and IV fluids is governed by training, credentialing, and medical-director authorization. The QUANTUM is intended for flight and critical-care paramedics, TCCC-qualified medics (18D, Corpsman, SF Medical Sergeant), physicians, PAs, and agencies operating a blood program under protocol. It is not a consumer or first-responder device. Deploy only within your scope of practice and your unit's transfusion protocol.
Why This System
Lightest In Class
22 oz operational — controller, battery, and tubing — light enough to carry forward in an aid bag.
24-Second Cold Start
From spike to normothermic output in under half a minute — no warmup standby required.
Heat Outside The Fluid Path
Conductive elements warm through the tubing wall — the blood never contacts the heating element.
Tactical Alert Silencing
The only portable warmer FDA cleared to disable audible alerts for covert operations.
