Temperature Control and Epi-Pen's

I live in Canada, but i do not work in EMS any longer, my field experience was all US. We purchased the heaters you are discussing, but the problem was that they didnt last long, and as you stated the heated to over 90 degrees which was outside the range recommended by the fluid manufacturer (too hot is as bad as too cold). The heat/cool units with programmable thermostats were $300-1000 each, which was too costly for our budget. We then went to a heating "tray" (a heating pad on one of the ALS shelves, which also allowed us to heat linens) as part of all new vehicle purchases ($600) as it was easy to hide that in the overall purchase price.
Kewl. Ours is the one which you describe. Has a programmable thermostat. Lately, we've been using quite a bit of IV fluids (just the run of calls we've had) so they never get to the temperature I stated. Sorry for not being more clear.

Where are you in Canada? I went the reverse route of you. Canada to the U.S.
