A system for controlling temperature of intravenous fluids includes a thermal treatment device and a temperature sensing device to measure a temperature of the fluid flowing through the sensor. The temperature sensing device may simultaneously collect two temperature measurements. For example, the sensing device may include sensors that measure the temperature of the fluid at two disparate locations along the medical fluid line. Additionally, the sensors may measure the temperature of the fluid within the medical fluid line, as well as the ambient temperature outside of the line. The thermal treatment device includes a conduit configured to have a nonlinear flow path through the device. The thermal treatment device thermally treats fluid within the conduit to a desired temperature or range.

A skin-patch type large volume drug delivery device (1) comprising a heat exchanger (24) to extract thermal energy from the body/skin surface of the user and to supply the extracted thermal energy to increase the temperature of the medicament. Alternatively or in addition, a Peltier element (35) can be used for the same purpose. The device includes a temperature sensor (31) and a controller (16) for varying the flow rate within the heat exchanger as a function of the drug temperature.

Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for an extracorporeal, artificial, placenta. In some embodiments, an artificial placenta and amniotic bed system may comprise a control unit, a gas delivery unit, a gas exchange unit or membrane oxygenator, a fluids delivery unit, an amniotic fluid bed, and a human machine interface. In some embodiments, the artificial placenta and amniotic bed systems, devices, and methods described herein may improve survival rates and minimize long-term disabilities in preterm, gestational-age, newborns. In some embodiments, the extracorporeal systems, devices, and methods comprise an artificial network through which oxygen and nutrient-rich blood may flow into a fetus (residing in an amniotic fluid bed), while carbon dioxide and wastes may be removed, thus re-establishing a form of intrauterine placental circulation.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and a method for treating at least one of hypertension, pulmonary arteries, diabetes, obesity, heart failure, end-stage renal disease, digestive disease, urological disease, cancers, tumors, pain, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by delivering an effective amount of a formulation to a tissue. In embodiments of the present invention, the formulation may include at least one of a gas, a vapor, a liquid, a solution, an emulsion, or a suspensions of one or more ingredients. In embodiments of the present invention, amounts of the formulation and/or energy are effective to injure or damage tissue, nerves, and nerve endings in order to relieve disease symptoms.

The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation includes two or more heating elements for vaporizing cannabis, tobacco, e-cigarette fluid and other inhalable materials. Includes a power source and two or more heating elements, each connected to a multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element that allows individual control of the duration and amount of heat applied to each heating element. Each heating element applies heat to one smokable material, which can be contained in a cartridge. The multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element can be a slide switch, push button, rotary encoder, pressure switch, infrared switch, a voice activated switch or a graphical user interface attached to a integrated circuit. The power source can be a battery.

A fluid warming device for an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, comprises: an outlet temperature sensor (31) operatively active at an outlet (22) of a fluid warming path (23) to detect a measured outlet temperature (To) of a fluid leaving the fluid warming device (18); an electronic control unit (29) operatively connected to the outlet temperature sensor (31). The electronic control unit (29) is configured to perform the following procedure: receiving, from the outlet temperature sensor (31) a signal correlated to a measured outlet temperature (To); correcting the measured outlet temperature (To) through a correction model to obtain an actual fluid outlet temperature (Tout); adjusting a heating power (Ph) of heating elements to keep the actual fluid outlet temperature (Tout) at a set reference temperature value (Tset). The correction model is an empirical model of a measurement error (E) derived from a plurality of experimental data sets, the measurement error (E) being a difference between the measured outlet temperature (To) and the actual fluid outlet temperature (Tout).

A system for warming intravenous fluids is provided including a positioning holder configured to receive and support a tube for providing at least one intravenous fluid to a patient and a plurality of elongate heating fingers, wherein each elongate heating finger is configured to be independently manipulated such that said elongate heating finger contacts the tube to transfer heat to the at least one intravenous fluid provided via the tube.
