Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (5) for temperature management for patients in stationary and mobile ECLS and/or ECMO therapy, with at least one disposable (7) and a fluid circuit (9), wherein the disposable (7) comprises at least one reservoir (10) or bag provided with at least one supply line (12) and a drain line (14), further provided at least one pumping unit element (11) as part of the disposable (7), by means of which liquid in the reservoir (10) or bag can be pumped through the fluid circuit (9). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a disposable (7) for such a system (5).
Claims19
A system for temperature management for a patient in stationary and mobile extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy, the system comprising:
- a disposable, comprising:
- at least one bag configured to hold a heat transfer fluid;
- a heat transfer fluid circuit having a supply line and a drain line;
- and
- at least one pumping unit element configured to pump the heat transfer fluid in the at least one bag through the heat transfer fluid circuit, the at least one pumping unit element being part of the disposable;
- a blood circuit configured to transport blood through a patient, the blood circuit including at least one blood tube, a blood pump, a blood reservoir, and an oxygenator having a heat exchanger configured to receive the heat transfer fluid from the at least one pumping unit element through a first hose, the oxygenator being configured to oxygenate blood of the patient;
- and
- a permanent device configured to receive the disposable, the permanent device having at least one heating unit, the at least one bag configured to be housed in the at least one heating unit, wherein the at least one heating unit is configured to heat the heat transfer fluid held within the at least one bag,
- wherein the supply line includes a tube between the at least one bag and the at least one pumping unit element, and further wherein the drain line includes a second hose between the heat exchanger and the at least one bag.
