Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
A working fluid cassette for an intravascular heat exchange catheter includes a frame holding two closely spaced, square polymeric membranes along the sides of which are disposed inlet and outlet tubes. Working fluid from the catheter is directed from the inlet tube between the membranes to the outlet tube. The cassette is closely received between two refrigerant cold plates to exchange heat with the working fluid, which is circulated back to the catheter.

Abstract:
A heat exchange system for exchanging heat with working fluid from an intravascular heat exchange catheter or an external heat exchange pad includes a working fluid that circulates between the catheter or pad and a fluid cassette, and a refrigerant system that flows against the outer sides of cold plates between which the cassette is disposed.
Abstract:
A working fluid cassette for an intravascular heat exchange catheter includes a frame holding two closely spaced, square polymeric membranes in tension. Working fluid from the catheter is directed between the membranes. The cassette is closely received between two refrigerant cold plates to exchange heat with the working fluid, which is circulated back to the catheter.
