Whole blood is the CoTCCC-recommended resuscitative fluid for hemorrhagic shock — it carries red cells, platelets, and clotting factors in balanced physiologic proportion. But delivering it far forward means solving two problems at once: assembling the collection-and-administration chain, and warming the product so cold transfusion doesn't drive the casualty into the lethal triad.
What carries the entire warm-whole-blood capability in a single package?
This kit integrates NAR's QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System with complete donor and recipient modules — eliminating the need to assemble components from multiple sources. The supplies conform to Joint Theater Trauma System (JTTS) Clinical Practice Guidelines, and the QUANTUM heats refrigerated blood to a normothermic 100.4°F in 24 seconds at the lightest operational weight in its class. The result is a one-purchase capability to screen a donor, collect whole blood, verify type, and administer warm — built for Prolonged Field Care and Prolonged Casualty Care. This is a provider-scope system — see the scope note below.
Provider scope: field collection and transfusion of whole blood is governed by training, credentialing, a unit blood program, and medical-director authorization. This kit is intended for flight and critical-care paramedics, TCCC-qualified medics (18D, Corpsman, SF Medical Sergeant), physicians, and agencies operating an authorized walking-blood-bank program. It is not a consumer or first-responder item. Deploy only within your scope of practice and your unit's transfusion protocol.
Why This Kit
Warm + Collect + Give, In One
Warming system plus donor and recipient modules — no assembling the chain from separate sources.
Normothermic Output
100.4°F in 24 seconds counters the hypothermia that cold transfusion drives.
JTTS-Conforming Supplies
Donor and recipient consumables conform to Joint Theater Trauma System guidelines.
Modular Organization
Separated donor and recipient modules keep supplies systematic under pressure.

When to Deploy QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit
What's Included (NAR SKU: N/A):
- QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit — includes the components required for a complete QUANTUM-based blood transfusion resuscitation operation (see narescue.com for full contents by configuration)
- Far-forward whole blood transfusion in a single kit: Everything needed for a complete QUANTUM-system blood transfusion resuscitation in one packaged kit — reduces pre-mission pack-out time.
- CCRK or team medic bag supplement: The transfusion kit supplements the QUANTUM base system with the consumables and accessories needed for a full transfusion mission.
- Prolonged field care (PFC) blood resuscitation: Extended casualty holds where the medic needs to maintain normothermic blood delivery over multiple transfusion cycles.
- Unit-level resupply caching: Pre-packaged kit simplifies unit-level resupply — one kit = one complete transfusion resupply, reducing inventory complexity.
- Training configurations: Provides a complete system for QUANTUM operation training without breaking operational kits.
Field tip: Confirm TTS-B expiration dates on every kit before mission deployment — the sterile single-use sets have a finite shelf life. Rotate stock using FIFO and document kit dates in your equipment log.
How QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit Compares
QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit vs. QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System: The complete system is the base platform (controller, battery, charger, 2× TTS-B). The Blood Transfusion Kit is configured for a complete blood administration mission — see the full contents at narescue.com for what differentiates the kit from the base system listing.
QUANTUM Transfusion Kit vs. LTOWB (Low Titer O Whole Blood) sets: The LTOWB-V administration set provides the IV administration set for blood transfusion without warming. The QUANTUM Transfusion Kit provides warming capability — the right choice when cold blood resuscitation is a risk factor (cold weather, prolonged storage).
QUANTUM system (being discontinued) vs. alternatives: NAR has announced QUANTUM discontinuation. Providers establishing new blood warming programs should evaluate current-production alternatives. Providers with existing QUANTUM systems should stock replacement kits while supply remains available.
QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit?
A: The QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit bundles the components needed for a complete blood transfusion resuscitation operation. For exact contents and SKU breakdown, reference the NAR product listing at narescue.com or contact MED-TAC.
Q: Is the QUANTUM system still available?
A: North American Rescue has announced QUANTUM discontinuation due to supply chain constraints. Current stock of kits and components is available while supplies last. Providers planning new blood warming procurement should evaluate current-production alternatives.
Q: Who is authorized to use the QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit?
A: Trained medical providers credentialed for blood product administration: Combat Medics (68W), Special Operations medical personnel, paramedics, and equivalent civilian and military providers within their scope of practice and applicable protocols.
Q: What training is required to operate the QUANTUM system?
A: QUANTUM system training covers: system setup and priming (TTS-B connection and IV priming), battery management and monitoring, warm-up confirmation before transfusion initiation, and mid-transfusion system monitoring. Providers should be trained on blood transfusion protocols independent of system-specific training.
Q: Is the QUANTUM Blood Transfusion Kit available for government procurement?
A: Yes, while current stock lasts. Available through MED-TAC International for government procurement. Contact the store for NSN information and current stock status.
