Conventional blood warming stacks two things in the fluid path: an IV set, and a separate warming device with its own tubing. More connections, more priming, more failure points — and contact between the blood and a heating surface.
What if the warming element lived in the tubing wall, and the line was the only set you needed?
The TTS-B is the IV administration tubing and the warming element in one. The heating element is double-extruded between the inner and outer tubing walls — completely outside the fluid path — so blood never contacts it: no thermal damage, no flow disruption, no contamination risk. Thermistors along the line feed the QUANTUM Controller, which modulates 44V power to hold target output at the patient end regardless of flow rate, input temperature, or ambient conditions. Cleared for whole blood, pRBC, FDP-reconstituted product, colloids, and isotonics — the single set for any QUANTUM blood-warming application.
Why This Set
Set And Warmer In One
No additional standard transfusion set — the TTS-B replaces it.
Heat Outside The Fluid Path
Double-extruded element warms through the wall — blood never touches the heater.
Distributed Sensing
Thermistors along the length keep output on target as flow and conditions change.
Two Per Pack
Two TTS-B sets per pack — two transfusion events, or a primary and backup.

When to Deploy Thermal Transfusion Set - BLOOD
- Combat prehospital blood transfusion: Deliver whole blood or pRBC to a hemorrhagic casualty in the Tactical Field Care phase, warming 39°F refrigerated blood to normothermia in 24 seconds.
- Far-forward austere environments: The complete IV administration set and warming element in one 2.7 oz set — no extra standard transfusion set required in a restricted kit.
- FDP reconstituted product administration: One of the few tubing sets cleared for freeze-dried plasma reconstituted product, colloids, and blood products without fluid-path heating surface contact.
- Multi-patient transfusion events: Two TTS-B sets per pack — run a primary and retain a sterile backup for a second casualty or repeat infusion with a fresh set.
- QUANTUM system resupply: The consumable that keeps the QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System operational; replenish after each patient event for continued system readiness.
Best Practice: Best practice: keep at least two packs (four sets) staged with every QUANTUM system. Each set is single-use; deplete the current set before opening a backup. Store sealed at room temperature.
How Thermal Transfusion Set - BLOOD Compares
TTS-B vs standard blood transfusion set + external warmer: Competing systems require a conventional transfusion set plus the warmer's proprietary tubing — two fluid-path connections, more priming volume, more failure points. The TTS-B eliminates the standard set entirely. See QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System.
TTS-B vs Thermal Infusion Set (TIS): The TIS (35-0004) is the IV-fluids-only QUANTUM set; it must not be used with blood or blood products. The TTS-B is the correct set for any blood-warming application. Browse IV/IO & Blood Transfusion supplies.
TTS-B vs conventional contact warmers: Contact warmers heat fluid through direct surface contact with a heated plate or bath, introducing thermal damage risk. The TTS-B's double-extruded element warms through the tubing wall — the fluid never contacts the heater.
TTS-B pack of 2 vs single-set competitors: Two per pack versus individual-set pricing on competing consumables — matched to the two-unit whole-blood warming capacity of a single QUANTUM battery charge.
Frequently Asked Questions — Thermal Transfusion Set - BLOOD
Q: Is the TTS-B compatible with all blood products?
A: The TTS-B (NAR 35-0005) is cleared for whole blood, packed red blood cells, freeze-dried plasma (FDP) reconstituted product, colloids, and isotonic IV solutions. Do not use the Thermal Infusion Set (TIS, 35-0004) for blood — the TIS is IV fluids only.
Q: What training is required to use the QUANTUM system with the TTS-B?
A: The TTS-B primes and handles identically to a standard blood transfusion set. QUANTUM system training is typically covered in Combat Casualty Care or Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) courses that address prehospital transfusion. Consult your unit or agency medical director for protocol specifics.
Q: Is the TTS-B compatible with the original QUANTUM system and the updated controller?
A: Yes. The TTS-B (35-0005) is the designated consumable for the QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System and works with all current QUANTUM controller and battery versions. Verify compatibility markings on the packaging when newer system revisions are released.
Q: What is the NSN or procurement path for the TTS-B?
A: The TTS-B is a North American Rescue consumable (Item 35-0005, pack of 2). Government and institutional procurement can be arranged through authorized NAR distribution channels. Contact MED-TAC International for DLA/GSA ordering assistance.
Q: Can the TTS-B be reused between patients?
A: No. The TTS-B is a single-use, sterile disposable set supplied via ethylene oxide sterilization. It must be discarded after each patient infusion event. Each pack includes two sets — one per transfusion event, or primary plus backup.
