Available Modules for MCH-1000(i)


Refrigeration Module | MCH-10RMS
Tired of hauling ice buckets to the OR? The CardioQuip Refrigeration Module replaces the lid on the MCH-1000(i) with an enclosed condensing unit that forms a block of ice in the tank. With room-temperature water, the Refrigeration Module will chill the water to 3°C in about one hour, and begin to form ice in about 90 minutes. Click here for a timelapse video.

Cardioplegia Shared Channel (CSC) Module | MCH-10CSC
CardioQuip developed the dual-shared channel concept to add useful functionality to the MCH-1000(i) without dual-channel drawbacks.
Adds a second channel
Delivers cold water from cold water tank or temperature controlled water from main circuit.
Eliminates need for additional unit
Blanket Connection Module
Working with a patient blanket? Add the Blanket Connection Module to your MCH-1000(i) to provide external warming or cooling. Applications include prevention and treatment of hypothermia, fever reduction, and general patient comfort.
Dripless Anti-Microbial (DAM) Hose Kit | MCH-10DAM
In today's perfusion climate, maintaining water quality in the OR is critical. We introduced the Dripless Anti-Microbial Hose Kit to offer a clean and safe way to keep cooler-heater water away from the OR environment. Dripless Connectors at both ends prevent water leakage and Silver-impregnated antimicrobial PVC tubing resists biofilm formation.
Communications Module | MCH-10COM
Provides RS-232 or ethernet communications capability to export cooler-heater parameters to electronic medical record systems (i.e. Epic & Cerner)
