20140303557 | ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE FOR AN INTRAVENOUS FLUID HEATING SYSTEM - An apparatus heats fluids. A number of lithium-ion cells are positioned within a housing. A first connector is positioned on a first end of the housing and opperably connected to the number of lithium-ion cells. The first connector is configured to receive electrical power from a power source. A second connector is positioned on a second end of the housing and opperably connected to the number of lithium-ion cells. A heating element has a tube for transferring fluid. The heating element is configured to connect to the second connector. A controller is positioned within the housing and opperably connected to the number of lithium-ion cells and the second connector. The controller is configured to monitor a rate at which the electrical power is received by the heating element and limit an amount of the electrical power received by the heating element when the rate reaches a predetermined level. | 10-09-2014 |
20140171905 | Wearable In-Line Fluid Warmer and Battery Apparatus - An inline fluid warming apparatus that has a fluid warmer portion and a battery portion for powering the fluid warmer portion. The fluid warmer portion has a housing that connects directly to a housing of the battery portion by an attachment means. The attachment can be a rail system or a snap attachment or any other secure means for attaching the two housings together. The fluid warmer portion has power contacts that engage with power contacts on the battery when the two portions are engaged. When the power contacts are engaged, the battery portion provides power to the fluid warmer portion to warm fluid traveling through the fluid warmer. The apparatus is placed directly onto an arm or leg of a patient. A band or adhesive may be used to hold the apparatus in place against the skin of the patient. | 06-19-2014 |
20140167502 | Converter device and method of converting power - A power converter having a multiple power inputs and multiple power outputs. More specifically, the power converter has a first power input that is a rail system having power contacts for engaging a first battery wherein the first battery has complimentary rail receiving means and power contacts for engaging the rail system. A second power input is also available for receiving a cable from a second battery. A third power input is also available for engaging with a box type lithium battery. The converter has multiple power outputs including a first power output for engaging with and powering a box type lithium battery, a female cigarette lighter output for engaging and powering devices that are powered by cigarette lighter type power connections, a USB output for engaging and powering USB devices and a 2.5 mm wire and plug for engaging and powering devices powered by 2.5 mm wire and plug connection. The converter is capable of using the multiple inputs to power the multiple outputs. Likewise the multiple inputs can also power the other multiple input batteries. | 06-19-2014 |

20110202034 | MODULAR MEDICAL FLUID HEATING APPARATUS - A controller and a plurality of concatenated heating modules in electrical communication with the controller. The controller controls the flow of current to the plurality of heating modules in response to temperature measurements from at least one of the plurality of heating modules. In one embodiment, each of the plurality of heating modules concatenated with another heating module is connected by Luer-Lokā¢ connectors. In another embodiment, the modular medical fluid heating system further includes an auxiliary heating unit in electrical communication with the controller and in physical juxtaposition with the plurality of heating modules. The invention also relates to a heating module for a modular medical fluid heating system including a fluid input port; a fluid output port; and serpentine tubing through which fluid passes from the fluid input port to the fluid output port. In one embodiment, the heating module can be concatenated with other heating modules. | 08-18-2011 |
