4E's USA 18L Contrast Media Warmer (Model CMW100101-LI)

Maintaining contrast media at the proper temperature can improve injection performance, reduce viscosity, and support a more comfortable patient experience during diagnostic imaging procedures. The 4E's USA 18L Contrast Media Warmer (Model CMW100101-LI) is a compact benchtop warming cabinet designed specifically for safely warming contrast media while also serving as a versatile laboratory incubator for a variety of heating applications. Unlike the refurbished laboratory equipment offered throughout much of the American Instrument Exchange inventory, this unit is brand new, providing healthcare facilities with modern warming technology backed by a full manufacturer's warranty.

Featuring an 18-liter chamber, PID digital temperature control, an insulated viewing window, and a secure digital keypad lock, the CMW100101-LI delivers accurate and consistent temperature regulation from ambient +5°C to 65°C. The stainless steel chamber, adjustable shelving, and built-in timer make it suitable not only for contrast media warming, but also for warming saline, laboratory reagents, culture media, and other temperature-sensitive materials used in medical and research laboratories.

Designed for Contrast Media Warming and Laboratory Heating Applications

The 4E's USA CMW100101-LI was developed to provide reliable warming of contrast agents used during CT imaging, angiography, and other diagnostic procedures. Warming contrast media reduces viscosity, allowing smoother injection through power injectors and manual syringes while supporting more consistent delivery during imaging procedures. Precise PID temperature control maintains stable warming conditions without exposing contrast media to unnecessary temperature fluctuations.

Beyond medical imaging, the chamber serves as a compact laboratory incubator for warming reagents, microbiological samples, culture media, test kits, and other laboratory materials requiring controlled temperatures. The insulated viewing window allows users to monitor chamber contents without opening the door, helping maintain stable internal temperatures during operation.

Common Applications

The 4E's USA CMW100101-LI is commonly used for:

Contrast media warming
CT imaging departments
Radiology departments
Interventional radiology
Cardiac catheterization laboratories
Outpatient imaging centers
Saline warming
Laboratory reagent warming
Microbiology incubation
Sample drying
General laboratory heating
Clinical laboratory support

Healthcare facilities often pair contrast media warmers with laboratory refrigerators for reagent storage, freezers for long-term sample preservation, and centrifuges for specimen preparation in clinical laboratories.

Ideal Laboratory and Clinical Environments

The 4E's USA CMW100101-LI is well suited for hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, physician offices, radiology departments, catheterization laboratories, clinical laboratories, research facilities, and educational laboratories requiring dependable temperature-controlled warming in a compact footprint. Its benchtop design makes it an excellent solution for facilities where space is limited but precise temperature control remains essential.

Accurate Temperature Control in a Compact Footprint

At the heart of the CMW100101-LI is a PID digital temperature controller that continuously monitors chamber temperature using a Pt100 temperature sensor. This system maintains temperature accuracy of ±0.5°C with 0.1°C resolution, allowing users to confidently warm contrast media and other temperature-sensitive materials. Built-in safety features—including over-temperature protection, deviation alarms, and power failure protection—help safeguard valuable materials while supporting reliable day-to-day operation. The durable cold-rolled steel exterior and stainless steel interior are designed to withstand continuous clinical and laboratory use while remaining easy to clean and maintain.

Contrast Media Capacity and Typical Warming Applications

The 18-liter chamber of the 4E's USA CMW100101-LI provides a compact but flexible space for warming contrast media containers, saline, laboratory reagents, test kits, and other materials that require a stable thermal environment. Its stainless steel interior measures 260 × 260 × 260 mm, providing a cubic workspace that can be configured around containers of different sizes.

The chamber includes two adjustable shelves and offers six shelf positions, allowing healthcare and laboratory personnel to customize the interior layout for their specific workflow. Shelves can be repositioned or removed when taller containers require additional clearance. The insulated glass viewing window allows users to check chamber contents and controller status without opening the door and unnecessarily disrupting the internal temperature.

When the unit is used for contrast media, facilities should always follow the contrast manufacturer's instructions for use, including any stated warming temperature, allowable warming duration, container requirements, and handling procedures. Institutional radiology and medication-management policies should also be followed.

Energy Efficiency and Routine Operation

The 4E's USA CMW100101-LI uses natural convection to distribute heat within the chamber. Because the design does not depend on a mechanical circulation fan or refrigeration system, the unit offers quiet operation with relatively few moving components requiring maintenance.

Its insulated cabinet and PID controller work together to maintain the selected temperature while limiting unnecessary heater cycling. The unit has a rated power requirement of 0.18 kW, making it practical for continuous use in radiology departments, imaging centers, clinics, and laboratories.

Routine care should include keeping the chamber clean, avoiding blocked ventilation openings, inspecting the door seal and viewing window, and periodically verifying displayed temperature against a calibrated reference device. Facilities using the warmer for clinical materials should incorporate temperature verification and cleaning into their established quality-control procedures.

4E's USA CMW100101-LI Contrast Media Warmer Frequently Asked Questions

Is this contrast media warmer new or refurbished?

This 4E's USA CMW100101-LI is offered brand new, not refurbished. It includes the manufacturer's current warranty coverage rather than the American Instrument Exchange warranty generally supplied with refurbished laboratory equipment.

What is the chamber capacity?

The warmer has an 18-liter chamber with internal dimensions of approximately 10.2 inches wide, 10.2 inches deep, and 10.2 inches high. Two adjustable shelves are included, with six available shelf positions.

What temperature range does the CMW100101-LI provide?

The unit operates from 5°C above ambient temperature to 65°C. The appropriate setpoint depends on the material being warmed and the applicable manufacturer instructions, clinical procedures, or laboratory protocol.

Can this unit be used to warm contrast media?

Yes. The CMW100101-LI is marketed as a compact contrast media warmer and incubator. Radiology departments should follow the contrast media manufacturer's labeling and their institution's policies regarding warming temperature, storage duration, inspection, and handling.

Does the warmer have a locking door?

Yes. The CMW100101-LI is a locking model, helping facilities restrict access to contrast media, reagents, or other temperature-controlled materials stored inside the chamber.

Does it include adjustable shelves?

Yes. The unit includes two stainless steel shelves and provides six possible shelf positions. The shelves may be repositioned or removed to accommodate containers of different heights.

What safety alarms are included?

The control system includes a temperature-deviation alarm, overheat-prevention protection, and power-failure safety. Users should still perform routine temperature monitoring and follow any quality-control requirements established by their facility.

Does the CMW100101-LI use forced-air circulation?

No. It uses natural convection, which provides quiet operation without a chamber circulation fan. Users should avoid overcrowding the chamber so heat can circulate around the stored containers.

Can this unit be used for applications other than contrast media warming?

Yes. It may also be suitable for warming saline, reagents, test kits, biological materials, and other items compatible with its temperature range. Suitability should be determined according to the product manufacturer's instructions and the facility's laboratory or clinical procedures.

What warranty is included?

Because this unit is sold brand new, it includes a two-year all-inclusive manufacturer warranty from 4E's USA.
