Claims17
A liquid warming device comprising:
- a cavity adapted to receive a portion of a removable basin, the removable basin having a bottom, a set of at least one side wall connected to the bottom of the removable basin so that the set of at least one side wall forms a walled perimeter around the bottom of the removable basin to form a container suitable for holding a fluid;
- a heater adapted to provide heat through a thermally conductive path to the fluid placed in the removable basin;
- and
- a fluid temperature controller controlling a flow of energy provided to the heater so as to prevent the heater from operating without a positive indication of a presence of an appropriate removable basin.
