A heat exchange system for exchanging heat with working fluid from an intravascular heat exchange catheter (12) or an external heat exchange pad (18) includes a working fluid that circulates between the catheter (12) or pad (18) and a fluid cassette (50), and a refrigerant system that flows against the outer sides of cold plates (30, 32) between which the cassette (50) is disposed. An outer wall (32a) of the system is transparent so that a person can view the refrigerant as it circulates, ensuring proper operation. |
