In vivo temperature control system

Abstract

An in vivo temperature control system including a catheter insertable into a living body; a temperature sensor that can measure the temperature in the living body; a liquid storage section that stores a liquid; a pump that supplies the liquid from the liquid storage section to the catheter; and a control section that controls driving of the pump; wherein the control section calculates a difference obtained by subtracting an integrated amount of the liquid sucked inside of the catheter from an integrated amount of the liquid released outside of the catheter, and allows the pump to operate and suck the liquid into the catheter when the difference exceeds a preset threshold, and then stop the driving of the pump when the difference reaches the preset threshold or less.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
