Publication number: 20190083300Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selected regions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperature modification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter within which a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette of any one of several disclosed variations is attached to the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette being sized to engage a cavity within one of various described re-usable control units. The control units include a heater/cooler device, a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensors around the body and the system. The heater/cooler device may be thermoelectric to enable both heating and 15? cooling based on polarity. A temperature control scheme for ramping the body temperature up or down without overshoot is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicant: Zoll Circulation, Inc.Inventors: Timothy R. Machold, Wade A. Keller, Alex T. Roth, Nicole Denise Bloom

Publication number: 20140364928Abstract: A heat exchange fluid supply system for supplying a heat exchange fluid to an intravascular heat exchange catheter includes a disposable cassette having a bulkhead and an external heat exchanger, and which is configured to operate in combination with a reusable master control unit. The bulkhead includes a reservoir section and a pump section. The reservoir section is provided with a means to monitor the amount of heat exchange fluid that is in the system. The bulkhead provides the mechanism for priming the system with heat exchange fluid from an external source and for circulating fluid to the catheter in a closed circuit. The pump section is configured to allow for pumping of heat exchange fluid at a constant pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2014Publication date: December 11, 2014Applicant: ZOLL CIRCULATION, INC.Inventors: Timothy R. Machold, Nicole Denise Bloom, Alex T. Roth, David J. Scott, Jose Alejandro, Edward A. Oliver
