°MEQU to provide UK MOD with IV fluid warming system
Danish med-tech company °MEQU, with its UK partner Fenton Pharmaceuticals, has won a public tender to provide portable blood and IV fluid warming devices to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD)
The ˚M Warmer System was chosen by the MOD as it satisfies all the criteria set for blood and IV warming needs. The system is small, light and robust, but also offers easy and fast setup, delivering warm blood or IV fluids to patients within a few seconds.
Ulrik Krogh Andersen, CEO at °MEQU, commented: “Fluid resuscitation before arriving at a hospital is shown to significantly reduce mortality among severely injured patients. We are glad that the UK MOD chose our ˚M Warmer System to treat their service people. With their choice, we at °MEQU keep up with our mission to improve the survival and recovery rate of patients regardless of where the injury occurs.”
Used in pre- and in-hospital environments
Graham Hill, Medical Director at Fenton Pharmaceuticals, added: “We are very happy that the UK MOD has chosen the °M Warmer System as the blood and fluid warmer for British troops. We have for quite some time supplied the system to an increasing number of civilian HEMS units, but this confirms that the system is ideal for both civilian and military use.”
˚M Warmer System is currently used both in pre-hospital and in-hospital environments.
