Properly warmed solutions are simply healthier and more comfortable. All of our warmers are calibrated at the factory to the optimal temperature for dialysis solutions – no adjustments are required by you. They are self regulating, so you don't have to worry about overheating them. All of our warmers plug into your vehicle's cigarette lighter as well as any household outlet and all of them come with a limited lifetime non-transferable warranty.

On the road:

One of the great advantages of PD over Hemodialysis is the ease with which you can travel. With a little planning, you can easily get up and go in no time – for a few hours, days, or months. No hospital visits to plan around like hemo patients have to – you are in control of your own health and your own schedule. So take advantage of the freedom and independence that PD gives you – pack up your stuff and discover the wonders of North America’s highways.

At home:

Our warmers work great for the home too (especially the Overnighter!): you won't need to be waiting around the microwave or running back and forth to the kitchen. With a dedicated warmer next to your exchange area, a nice warm bag of solution is always within reach.

The Overnighter is perfect for daily use at home or while on the road. It's hard plastic outer shell makes it virtually indestructible and easy to keep clean. It also has all the features to take it out on the road too – like 4 large inner mesh pockets for holding you supplies, a compartment to securely store the home adapter, the cigarette lighter cable so you can plug it into the car, and a shoulder strap to help you carry it around.

The Overnighter is perfect for the individual who wants to be set up properly for PD. Having an overnighter plugged in at home, right in your dialysis area, means you’ll always have warm bag ready and be ready to hit the road.

Friends call you up to come over and watch the game. You get the urge to go out for a bit of fishing or shopping. Work calls you in for an important meeting.

Whatever the reason, when you want to take off at the last minute, the Soft-Sided Daytripper is your best bet for making sure you can do your exchange while you’re gone. The light weight single bag warmer carries everything you need – all in a compact, easy to carry case. We’ve even added a mesh pocket on the inside to carry small items, and a great system for holding the Tripod (not included) in place.

The unique shape of the Soft-Sided Daytripper nestles it under your arm when carried over the shoulder with the padded strap. It also works great when worn over your back “commando style” for longer hauls!

The Hard-Sided Daytripper is a singlebag warmer designed for use by hospitals and clinics as part of their loaner program, but is equally suitable for personal use at home, at work, or while travelling.

When passed on from one user to the next, the plastic case and aluminium heating plate are easy to clean and will withstand years of use. Like all of our personal warmers, it has a factory pre-set, tamper-proof thermostat which will keep solutions at the perfect temperature indefi nitely, never allowing them to overheat. The intuitive design requires almost no training or instruction – just plug it in!

Why should I warm my solutions up?
For many, cold solutions cause discomfort such as cramping and chills. Others claim that they can tolerate cold solutions, but fi lling up on the cold stuff is not recommended. When cold solution enters the peritoneum, vessels carrying blood to the membrane constrict. This reduces blood flow, slowing waste removal and dialysis which, of course, defeats the purpose of doing the exchange. Regardless of how you do it, we urge you to warm your solution so you get the most out of PD.

How do I know if a bag is warm enough?
Most clinics teach patients to rely on their sense of touch to feel if it is right – much like testing a baby’s milk bottle. The bag should feel slightly warm to your forearm or palm, but not hot. It is recommended that the temperature be between 36°C and 38°C or 96°F to 99°F. The solution will loose a degree or two while it hangs during the drain step of your exchange, so a slightly warmer bag is OK. All of our warmers have a temperature indicating strip which will give you an estimated solution temperature. The best indicator of all is your personal comfort, and with time, you will learn to know what a properly warmed bag should feel like before and during your exchange.

Overnighters and Daytrippers
How long does it take to warm solutions up?
Our warmers are designed to warm solutions gently and accurately. They are not meant to warm instantly. Depending on the size of bag you are warming and ambient temperature, it will take 3 to 4 hours. This may seem slow, but if you remember to place a fresh bag into the warmer after each exchange, it'll be ready by the time your next one comes around.

Do I leave the outer wrapping on the bag during warm-up?
Always! The manufacturers of the solutions go to great lengths to ensure that everything inside the wrapping is sterile. They are meant to stay sterile until the minute you do your exchange.

Can the solution overheat?
No, not in our warmers. Factory set thermostats control the heaters to keep them at optimum temperatures. Should these thermostats fail, a secondary backup thermostat will kick-in for extra protection.

Can I take these warmers on a plane?
Yes, all of our warmers qualify as carry on luggage, but just in case, it is recommended that you call the airline fi rst and always have a letter from your doctor stating that this is vital medical equipment. Remember that most commercial planes are not equipped with power outlets.

Can I use the warmer overseas?
Yes, all our personal warmers now come with a plug-in power supply that works on any 110 or 220 Volt power source worldwide. However, you will need to supply your own plug adaptor.
