The rapid transfusion of large volumes of room-temperature crystalloid and/or refrigerated blood, as occurs in resuscitation during hemorrhage, can lead to hypothermia and its attendant sequelae (1–4)[1]. Several fluid-warming devices are available that heat fluid by countercurrent exchange, heating plates or heating elements, and water baths (5,6)[2]. These devices may have limited capabilities in providing warmed crystalloid and/or blood because of insufficient heater block surface area for properly heating at rapid flows or insufficient heating capability of water-bath systems or countercurrent systems at rapid flow rates (7)[3]. Also, these devices have limited, if any, capability to detect and remove air during operation.

A new device on the market, the FMS 2000 (Belmont Instrument Corp., Billerica, MA), is designed to heat fluid by using magnetic induction. This device ...
