Abstract: A portable blood storage device includes an outer housing an inner housing. The outer housing defines the structure of the blood storage device. The inner housing is located within the outer housing and has an interior cavity for storing collected blood and/or blood components. The inner housing has an open top to allow access to the interior cavity. The storage device also has an inlet duct and a return duct located within the interior cavity. The inlet duct is fluidly connectable to a cooling device and brings conditioned air into the storage device when fluidly connected to the cooling device. The return duct is also fluidly connectable to the cooling device and returns exhaust air to the cooling device when fluidly connected.

Abstract: A device for connecting and then isolating and disconnecting an arrester can be mounted in an insulating bracket. The device includes first and second electrical terminals and first and second electrically conductive washers. The first washer abuts the first terminal. The second washer is spaced from the first washer and from the first terminal. A non-conductive gap spacer is disposed between the two washers and between the second washer and the first terminal. A cartridge with an explosive charge is mounted within the second terminal in its end facing the first terminal. A fuse-link spring extends through aligned openings in the two washers and connects the first terminal to the cartridge.
