  • Publication number: 20220354687
    Abstract: A fluid delivery line (FDL) for use in transporting a targeted temperature management (TTM) fluid between a TTM module and a thermal contact pad is disclosed. The FDL can include a bi-luminal fluid conduit and a bi-luminal proximal FDL connector. The two lumens of the proximal connector can be concentrically arranged. An authentication tag attached to the FDL can provide authentication data to a TTM module. A TTM system can include a connection adapter added to an existing TTM module where the adapter includes the electro-mechanical valves. An adapter controller operates the valves in accordance with obtained authentication data from the tag. Fluid connection systems can include valves that automatically open and close upon connection and disconnection. Fluid conduits and connectors can include concentrically arranged fluid lumens.

  • Publication number: 20220313478
    Abstract: Disclosed are fluid delivery lines (“FDLs”) of systems, pads, and methods for targeted temperature management. A system can include a control module, a primary FDL, a secondary FDL, and one or more pads for placement on one or more portions of a patient's body, respectively. The primary FDL can be configured to convey a temperature-controlled fluid as a supply fluid from a hydraulic system of the control module and convey a return fluid back to the hydraulic system. Each pad of the one-or-more pads can include a multilayered pad body including a conduit layer configured to convey the supply fluid therethrough. The secondary FDL can be configured to convey the supply fluid from the primary FDL and convey the return fluid back to the primary FDL. The secondary FDL can include a pair of piercing tips configured to pierce the primary tubing for fluidly connecting the primary and secondary FDLs.
