Calesca Warming/Thawing Device

III
This device can both warm and thaw breast milk or supplement in a hospital environ-
ment and operates by circulating heated air in an enclosed chamber which contains
either a breast milk storage container or a syringe. Calesca heats liquids in most com-
monly used containers to approximately 34°C (34°C ± 4°C) – be they frozen, out of
the fridge or at room temperature or thaws it to a refrigerated temperature. The slow
warming process helps preserve nutrients and vitamins.
The device's functions, features, and design are especially developed to fit into NICUs
(Neonatal Intensive Care Units) as a single bedside unit. However, the device can also
be used in the maternity, on the pediatric ward, etc.
