SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR WARMING FLUID FOR INTRAVENOUS INFUSION

Abstract: in some embodiments, a system includes a housing, an elongated heating element, a first electrical connector, and a second electrical connector. the housing can define a fluid channel extending from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet. the elongated heating element can be disposed within the fluid channel. the first electrical connector can be electrically coupled to a first portion of the elongated heating element and the second electrical connector can be electrically coupled to a second portion of the elongated heating element. energy can be provided from a power source to the elongated heating element via one of the first electrical connector or the second electrical connector to increase the temperature of the elongated heating element.
