Thermal control system

Documnti-8/09/2022 A thermal control unit for supplying temperature controlled fluid to a thermal pad, the thermal control unit comprising: a fluid outlet adapted to fluidly couple to a fluid supply line; a fluid inlet adapted to fluidly couple to a fluid return line; a heat exchanger; a pump for circulating the fluid from the fluid inlet through the heat exchanger and to the fluid outlet; a transceiver; a memory; a display; and a controller adapted to receive previous thermal history data from a secondary thermal device via the transceiver and to display the previous thermal history data on the display in a first manner, the previous thermal history data having been generated by the secondary thermal device during thermal treatment of a patient, wherein the controller is further adapted to record primary thermal history data generated by the thermal control unit during thermal treatment of the patient with the thermal control unit and to display the primary thermal history data on the display in a second manner, the first manner being different from the second manner such that a viewer of the display is provided a visual indication of whether displayed thermal history data corresponds to the primary thermal history data or the previous thermal history data; and wherein the controller is still further adapted to prevent the fluid from being pumped out of the fluid outlet until the previous thermal history data is received by the controller or a user provides an indication to the controller that no previous thermal history data is available.
