  • Thermal fluid device with remote temperature indicator
    Publication number: 20070268955
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fluid medium delivery system that measures a patient's temperature, and at least transmits that measurement to an infrared emitter. That emitter transmits an infrared signal corresponding to the measurement of the patient's temperature to a receiver. The receiver converts that infrared signal into a digital and/or analog signal that is transmitted to a device that records, and/or illustrates the measurement so medical practitioners can monitor the temperature without having to look at and/or for the fluid medium delivery system.
