A fluid temperature control device for an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, comprises: a casing (26) delimiting a heating/cooling seat (20) configured to accommodate a fluid warming bag (17) connected or connectable to an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus (1); heating elements (29, 30) operatively active in the heating seat (20) to heat the fluid warming bag (17); at least a presence detector (32, 33) operatively active in the heating seat (20) to detect the presence of the fluid warming bag (17). The presence detector (32, 33) comprises an electromagnetic transmitter (34) and an electromagnetic receiver (35). The electromagnetic receiver (35) is positioned with respect to the electromagnetic transmitter (34) either to receive an electromagnetic radiation emitted by the electromagnetic transmitter (34) and reflected by the fluid warming bag (17) only when the fluid warming bag (17) is properly accommodated in the heating seat (20) or only when the fluid warming bag (17) is not properly accommodated in the heating seat (20).

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices, systems, and methods for controlling environmental conditions for a volume of material. In some embodiments, a handheld, portable environmental control sleeve (ECS) is disclosed which is configured for controlling at least one environmental condition of a drug contained within a drug delivery or storage device (DDSD). The ECS includes an environmental control mechanism (ECM), thermal insulation material, at least one of a power source, a processor, at least one electrical contact, at least one indicator, at least one switch, at least one environmental condition sensor, a wireless transceiver, a phase change material and at least one heat dissipater. Upon the ECS receiving at least a portion of the DDSD, the at least one environmental condition of a drug contained within the DDSD is controlled by the ECM to be within a predetermined range.

A container holder for an injector for injecting a fluid into the human or animal body includes at least one container clamping member for clamping onto a container that is filled with the fluid and a temperature control device for bringing the temperature of the container to a predefined temperature. To be able to clamp containers of different shapes and sizes onto the container holder and to bring the temperature of the containers to a desired temperature without any thermal loss, by means of the temperature control device, and to ensure easy and unimpeded clamping and removal of the container, the temperature control device is connected to a transporting device, by means of which the temperature control device can be brought into and out of thermal contact with the container that is clamped onto the container clamping member.

Fluid management systems are disclosed that include software-controlled, electro-mechanical devices used in combination with single-use or multi-use tubing sets. Functions of the fluid management systems can include fluid pressurization, fluid warming, fluid deficit monitoring (including flow-based and weight-based), suction, fluid collection, and fluid evacuation (including indirect-to-drain and direct-to-drain options). The systems can be configured based on the surgical environment (e.g., operating room or physician office) as well as other user needs and/or preferences.

A method of treating a patient by implanting a system comprising an infusion device for injecting a substance, at least one reservoir comprising at least one compartment which accommodates and preserves the substance to be injected, and an active cooling device adapted to cool the reservoir and thereby keep the substance within said at least one compartment of the reservoir at a temperature below 37 C. The method comprises the steps of: cutting the skin, dissecting free at least one area within the patient's body, placing the infusion device and the at least one reservoir inside the patient's body along with the cooling device, such that the at least one reservoir is in fluid connection with the infusion device to supply to the infusion device the substance to be injected into the patient's body, and closing at least the skin after implantation of at least parts of the system.

A solution for injecting one or more fluids into a patient is proposed. A corresponding injection system (200) comprises one or more supply stations (105a;105b) each one for supplying one of the fluids to be injected from a container (110a;110b); at least one of the supply stations (105a;105b) comprises housing means (115a, 120a;115b, 120b) defining a chamber for housing the container (110a;110b), the chamber having a connection port (132a;132b) for connecting the container (110a; 110b) to a delivery arrangement (135,145) for delivering the fluid to the patient, and a conditioning device (205a;205b) for thermally conditioning the fluid in the chamber, wherein the conditioning device (205a;205b) comprises a first conditioning element (210a;210b) arranged around the connection port (132a;132b) and a second conditioning element (215;215a;215b) extending transversally to the first conditioning element (210;210a;210b).

A drug delivery device for delivering a medicament includes a housing arranged to contain a container, a receiver coil, and an energy storage unit. The receiver coil is arranged to receive energy from a transmitter coil by electromagnetic induction. The energy storage unit is arranged to be charged by at least a portion of the energy received by the receiver coil. At least a portion of the energy received by the receiver coil is converted to heat energy. The receiver coil is arranged in the drug delivery device to transfer the heat energy to the container to heat medicament contained in the container. A system comprising the drug delivery device is also disclosed.
