Abstract: An extracorporeal blood heating and cooling system that is connectable to an oxygenator of a cardiopulmonary bypass system, the heating and cooling system comprising: a heater-cooler unit; a coolant flow circuit that is configured to pass coolant through the heater-cooler unit and the oxygenator; and a cardioplegia coolant circuit that is configured to pass coolant through the heater-cooler unit and a cardioplegia heat exchanger; wherein when the heating and cooling system is in a purging mode, the coolant flow circuit and the cardioplegia coolant circuit contain temperature-controlled coolant having a trisodium phosphate concentration of about 1-35 millimole/liter; wherein when the heating and cooling system is in a coolant mode, the coolant flow circuit and the cardioplegia coolant circuit contain temperature-controlled coolant having a trisodium phosphate concentration of about 1-10 millimole/liter; and wherein when the heating and cooling system is in the coolant mode or the purging mode, a first and seco

Abstract: An extracorporeal blood treatment system including a gas exchange module operatively associated with a gas supply unit and optional pump for removing CO2 from blood. The gas exchange module includes a plurality of short conduits that are uniquely configured and arranged in a gas exchange mat to for efficient CO2 diffusion under conditions of low blood flow.

Abstract: An extracorporeal heart-lung support machine apparatus includes a platform capable of supporting one or more pieces of equipment and at least one coupler mounted to the platform so as to provide a docking interface for a piece of equipment, wherein the coupler includes: an electrical interface configured to matingly engage wills a complementary configured electrical interface of the at least one piece of equipment; and a locking mechanism configured to selectively transition between a locked configuration in which a latch member of the locking mechanism is positioned to secure fee at least one piece of equipment to the coupler and m unlocked configuration in which the latch member of the locking mechanism is positioned to permit both engagement or disengagement of the electrical interface of the coupler with the electrical interface of the at least one piece of equipment.

Abstract: A clinical parameter calculation-simulation-monitoring system includes an interface configured to receive data input pertaining to one or more input parameters; a processor operably connected to receive data signals from the interface corresponding to the received data input pertaining to the one or more input parameters, wherein the processor calculates one or more output values based on the one or more input parameters, wherein the one or more output values pertain to clinically relevant outcome parameters; and a monitor display assembly operably connected to receive the one or more output values calculated by the processor, wherein the monitor display assembly includes a display configured for monitoring at least one of the one or more output values calculated by the processor.

Abstract: A cardiopulmonary bypass system is described that includes a cardiopulmonary bypass machine having a console, the console has a base and a frame connected to the base. The system further comprises a plurality of peripheral modules operatively connectable to the cardiopulmonary bypass machine via one or more cables. The system further comprises a cable chase having a first end and a second end, and a housing that extends at least partially between the first end and second end to at least partially enclose a channel for receiving one or more cables or conduits connected to one or more of the peripheral modules.
