Cardioplegia heat exchanger HCU 40

Easy, rapid and precise temperature control are essential requirements for a hypo-/hyperthermia unit for use during extracorporeal circulation. Getinge’s HCU 40 combines the latest proven technology with outstanding performance and unique usability. Highest performance and safety in perfusion The HCU 40 combines proven temperaturecontrol technology with outstanding performance and unique usability, the HCU 40 provides benefits for both the patient and clinician during complex cardiovascular surgery procedures. It includes two independent water circuits. The first circuit can supply temperature controlled water to the oxygenator blood heat exchanger and to warming/ cooling blankets. The second circuit provides temperature controlled water to the cardioplegia heat exchanger. The water tank for the patient and cardioplegia circuits is divided into two parts to ensure quick temperature adjustments at the outlets. In addition, it shines with exceptional cooling capacity through its fast ice-building technique using highly effective cooling plates and a powerful compressor. The device is equipped with extremely large capacity heaters and intelligent electronic management of the heating and cooling components. Independent temperature control of the patient and cardioplegia via separated water circuits Up to three external devices can be used simultaneously Fast and accurate temperature adjustment made possible by the split tank and automatically controlled mixing valve Reduced patient cooling times due to the exceptional cooling capacity of the highly effective ice-building system Silent operation – most surgeries can be performed without a running compressor
