The Quantum Heater-Cooler is a safe and effective solution that eliminates M. chimaera bioaerosol formation and transmission during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.*
The Quantum Heater-Cooler addresses and mitigates Mycobacterium infection related risks (and potentially other infectious water-borne organisms) by way of implementing improved design features to control the root causes of infection without the need for burdensome cleaning.
The Quantum Heater-Cooler addresses the risk of infection primarily by using an alternative heat transfer fluid which is composed of a patented non-toxic glycol-based solution.*
Based on the results from bacteria inactivation for 6-,9- and 12-months aged samples, the glycol-based heat transfer fluid retains its antibacterial properties up to 12 months.*
The big cooling fans, which are normally used to increase efficacy of the radiator to dissipate the heat produced through water cooling, have been eliminated from the Quantum Heater-Cooler.
The Quantum Heater-Cooler uses a fan-less cooling source which eliminates the need for regular vapor compression refrigeration system and associated large fans that lead to laminar flow disruption.
The fluid circulation in the Quantum Heater-Cooler takes place in a closed and sealed space.
The only contact of the fluid with air in the External environment takes place during thermal expansion/contraction of the fluid due to temperature change and is controlled via a 0.2 μm filter.
