Enhanced integrated operation blender based sterile medical ice slurry production device

A method for the preparation and delivery of sterile medical ice slurry using an integrated blender preparation and delivery device, said method comprising the steps of:

• preparing and cooling a plurality of sterile slurry ingredient modules, said plurality of sterile slurry ingredient modules respectively containing a first predefined quantity of thermally conditioned sterile saline solution carrier liquid and a second predefined quantity of chunk ice;
• providing a blender including a thermally insulating blender container, a cutter blade contained within said thermally insulating blender container, a blender cover, a blender outlet port disposed in a lower portion of said blender container;
• providing a slurry delivery tubing pump coupled to said blender outlet port by a slurry delivery pump tube, and providing an associated injector tip connected to a discharge end of said slurry delivery pump tube;
• said associated injector tip being selected for a particular medical cooling application;
• providing at least one thermocouple mounted inside said blender container for recording temperature;
• providing a slurry conditioning-agitator mechanical mechanism coupled to said blender cover;
• said slurry conditioning-agitator mechanical mechanism being positioned directly on a central vertical axis of said thermally insulating blender container and extending downwardly toward said cutter blade within said thermally insulating blender container;
• wherein said cutter blade is positioned at the bottom of the thermally insulating blender container;
• providing a variable electric power transformer coupled to said blender;
• operating said variable electric power transformer for controlling blender speed and controlling blender cycle blender operation through a precisely timed first ice chopping stage and a second slurry conditioning and mixing stage;
• speed of said blender cutter blade being substantially lower during said second slurry conditioning and mixing stage than during said precisely timed first ice chopping stage;
• and
• moving said slurry conditioning-agitator mechanical mechanism up and down within the blender container to enhance mixing by substantially eliminating cavitations around the cutter blade, and controlling air entrainment in the sterile medical ice slurry during the first ice chopping stage.
