  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEAK DETECTION IN EXTERNAL COOLING PAD
    Publication number: 20170216089
    Abstract: An externally-applied heat exchange pad has three layers laminated together, an inner and outer non-conductive layer and a middle conductive layer. A leak in the inner layer causes coolant to contact the middle layer and change impedance, which can be sensed and used as an indication of an impending total leak of the pad.

  • System and method for testing heat exchange system for heat exchange catheter
    Patent number: 7827005
    Abstract: A heat exchange system for an indwelling catheter is tested for proper operation by observing whether a fluid temperature is within a command zone range and if not whether temperature moves toward the range or equalizes with it within predetermined parameters after a pump has stopped, and only if temperature exhibits none of the tested-for conditions indicating an error.
