COLD PLATE DESIGN IN HEAT EXCHANGER FOR INTRAVASCULAR TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT CATHETER AND/OR HEAT EXCHANGE PAD

摘要

Cold plates through which refrigerant flows define a slot between them that can receive a cassette through which sterile working fluid with a relatively low flow rate flows from an intravascular beat exchange catheter or external pad. The slot may have bulge cavities along the edges to permit the membrane of the cassette to expand and thus establish fluid supply and return passageways.
