Abstract:

An intravenous fluid conditioning system includes a housing having a first chamber and a second chamber. A volume of heat transfer medium is located in the first chamber and the second chamber. A first intravenous fluid line extends through the first chamber and a second intravenous fluid line extends through the second chamber. One or more thermoelectric devices are located in the housing, such that a first side of each of the one or more thermoelectric devices is in thermal communication with the first chamber and a second side of each of the one or more thermoelectric devices opposite the first side is in thermal communication with the second chamber. The one or more thermoelectric devices exchange thermal energy with a volume of intravenous fluid selectably flowed through the first intravenous fluid line or the second intravenous fluid line to condition the intravenous fluid.
