The Story
The QUANTUM Battery (NAR SKU 35-0001) by LifeWarmer is the power source component for the NAR Quantum Blood & Fluid Warming System — a 44V intelligent battery pack weighing just 16 oz that powers the Quantum warming controller, delivering two units of 39°F refrigerated whole blood at 100 mL/min to 100.4°F output with a 24-second warm-up time. Note: NAR has announced the Quantum system is discontinued due to supply chain manufacturing challenges with key components.

Product Overview
The NAR QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System was a groundbreaking compact warming system when released — at 22 total ounces for the operational configuration (controller, battery, and thermal transfusion set), it claimed the title of the lightest portable blood and fluid warming system available. The 44V QUANTUM Battery was the intelligent power source at the heart of this performance claim: its ability to rapidly adjust power distribution based on real-time fluid temperature and flow rate inputs enabled the system to warm cold whole blood to 100.4°F output temperature within 24 seconds and sustain that performance through two units of 39°F refrigerated whole blood at 100 mL/min.
The QUANTUM Battery (35-0001) is sold as a standalone replacement or spare component for providers who have already purchased the complete Quantum Blood & Fluid Warming System. Having a spare battery on hand extends operational endurance beyond the single-charge capacity of one battery — enabling a Quantum-equipped medic to warm more blood between charging opportunities.
Important procurement notice: North American Rescue announced the discontinuation of the Quantum Blood & Fluid Warming System product line due to insurmountable supply chain manufacturing hurdles with key components. While existing Quantum systems will continue to function, future resupply of batteries, controllers, and Thermal Transfusion Sets (TTS-B) may be limited. MED-TAC International advises providers who require ongoing blood and fluid warming capability to evaluate the QinFlow Warrior EXTREME as the primary current-production alternative — which provides superior delivery rates (up to 180–200 mL/min), greater battery capacity (3+ liters per charge), and MIL-STD-461G/IP56 certifications.
Quantum System Specifications Reference
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Controller | 3 oz — houses the warming algorithm and temperature sensors |
| QUANTUM Battery (this product) | 44V, 16 oz — intelligent power source with dynamic power distribution |
| TTS-B Thermal Transfusion Set | 2.7 oz — single-use sterile disposable; EO sterilized; 3-year shelf life (separate SKU 35-0005) |
| Charger | 22 oz — for battery recharge between operational uses |
| Total Operational Weight | 22 oz (controller + battery + TTS-B, excluding charger) |
Transition Guidance: Quantum to Warrior EXTREME
For units transitioning away from the discontinued Quantum system, the QinFlow Warrior EXTREME provides a current-production, military-certified alternative. The Warrior EXTREME offers higher maximum delivery rates (180–200 mL/min vs. 100 mL/min), greater single-battery blood warming capacity (3+ liters vs. 1.7 liters), dual AC/battery operation, MIL-STD-461G certification, and IP56 environmental protection — at moderately higher operational weight (1,790g system weight vs. 624g for Quantum). For units prioritizing weight above all else, the Warrior EXTREME Extra Power battery configuration provides a higher-capacity option at a manageable weight premium.
