Continuous Temperature Verification
Enthermics fluid warmers that are equipped with the optional WarmWatch package feature a continuous temperature monitoring system that provides users instant visual confirmation of the chamber temperature.

In addition to the standard control probe, an independent monitoring probe located very close to the control probe verifies that the chamber reaches and maintains the set-point temperature with +0/-1.1°C (+0/-2ºF) accuracy from 37 – 40°C (98 – 104ºF) and +0/-1.7°C (+0/-3ºF) accuracy above 40 – 66°C (104 – 150ºF). Two independent LED displays on the control panel show the set-point and actual interior temperature at a glance. (The chambers are designed not to exceed the set-point temperature, thus the nominal actual temperature will always be one to one-and-a-half degrees lower than the set-point temperature.)

Digital Documentation
In addition to continuous temperature monitoring, the WarmWatch option provides digital documentation of the warmer’s historical temperature performance data. This offers significant advantages over manually recording temperature set-points or control probe displays since these values are not independently obtained, and do not verify the actual chamber temperature. The independent monitoring probe in this option ensures that the actual chamber temperature is recorded. Automatic collection also ensures consistent data samples.

This recorded data can be downloaded to a USB flash drive and then to a computer at any desired time interval—up to six months between downloads. Normal warming functions continue to operate while the data is downloading. The data download to the USB drive includes both historical temperature information and a detailed performance summary for the warmer. These reports provide convenient and reliable data analysis for the life of the warmer.
