Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that requires the blood to be at a temperature close to normal human body temperature, approximately 36– 38°C. Transfusing cold blood can lead to serious complications such as hypothermia, coagulation disorders, and even cardiac arrest. Therefore, a reliable and automated blood warming device is essential to ensure safe transfusions. This study aims to design and modify a Blood Warmer Thawing device based on the Arduino Uno microcontroller as an innovative and cost- effective solution, particularly for healthcare facilities with limited resources. The system integrates a DS18B20 temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the heating medium in real time, with data displayed on a 20x4 I2C LCD. Users can set the desired temperature via a 4x4 keypad, and the system automatically adjusts the heater performance based on the detected temperature. To enhance safety and operational efficiency, the device is also equipped with a buzzer as a warning indicator when the temperature exceeds the safe threshold, and utilizes a DC motor and cooling fan to maintain proper heat circulation. Test results indicate that the device is capable of maintaining the liquid temperature within the ideal range for blood transfusions, with high stability and fast response to temperature changes. This innovation offers a practical, affordable, and easy-to-implement solution to support effective and safe blood transfusion procedures in various healthcare settings.
