  • Publication number: 20240122745
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to cooling a head of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise a cooling cap assembly comprising a heat exchanger configured to be wrapped around a head of a patient and a compression assembly releasably coupled to the heat exchanger. The compression assembly may comprise an enclosure and an inflatable member coupled to an internal surface of the enclosure. When coupled, the inflatable member may be positioned between the enclosure and the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be separate from and moveable relative to the inflatable member.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20230258373
    Abstract: A refrigeration unit system is disclosed. The system can comprise a system housing having a front panel, a back panel, two side panels, a bottom panel, a bezel having an air exhaust. The system can further comprise a plurality of air intake slots and a carrying handle above the air exhaust. The system can further comprise an assembly having a cold chamber central to the assembly. The assembly can comprise a thermoelectric module affixed to the chamber in direct contact. The thermoelectric module can be configured for conduction of a heat away from the cold chamber. The cold chamber can comprise a shelf removable from the cold chamber.

  • Patent number: 11639815
    Abstract: A portable refrigeration system for use in transport of medicines or other valuable, temperature sensitive materials is disclosed. The system can use GPS positioning technology to provide absolute global location along with internet connection through a cellular modem on board which allows for communication to the cloud of temperature and transit data during device use. The refrigerator 10 can be powered by a rechargeable battery back that may be recharged through connection to AC mains supply or connection to the photovoltaic panel 26 included with the device 10. The insulated container can be held at a constant temperature through the use of vacuum insulated panel construction. The device 10 can be cooled through the use of thermoelectric cooling modules 68 coupled to the insulated chamber 74 and paired with a heat exchanger 56 with heat pipes 60 and a system fan 54.
