INTRAVASCULAR HEAT EXCHANGE CATHETER AND SYSTEM WITH RFID COUPLING

摘要

A system includes a heat exchange catheter line assembly configured to convey working fluid circulating to and from at least one heat exchange element on an intravascular heat exchange catheter. The system also includes a heat exchange system that itself includes a processor and is configured for fluidly communicating with the heat exchange catheter line assembly to exchange heat with the working fluid. A near filed communication (NFC) member associated with the heat exchange system and an NFC element associated with the heat exchange catheter line assembly are also included. The NFC member is configured to provide the processor with a signal representative of whether the NFC member detects the NFC element.
