  • Extracorporeal blood heating and cooling system and method of operating and maintaining same
    Patent number: 11071813
    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
