HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM FOR PATIENT TEMPERATURE CONTROL WITH MULTIPLE COOLANT CHAMBERS FOR MULTIPLE HEAT EXCHANGE MODALITIES

Cold plates (30, 32) through which refrigerant flows define a slot (34) between them that can receive a cassette (50) through which sterile working fluid with a relatively low flow rate flows from an intravascular heat exchange catheter (12). The working fluid from the catheter (12) is heated or coo...

Zusammenfassung:Cold plates (30, 32) through which refrigerant flows define a slot (34) between them that can receive a cassette (50) through which sterile working fluid with a relatively low flow rate flows from an intravascular heat exchange catheter (12). The working fluid from the catheter (12) is heated or cooled by heat exchange with the cold plates (30, 32) through the walls of the cassette (50) to maintain the sterility of the working fluid. On the other hand, high flow rate working fluid chambers surround the cold plates (30, 32) and non-sterile working fluid from an external heat exchange pad (14) flows through the high flow rate working fluid chambers to exchange heat through direct contact with the cold plates (30, 32).
