<p>This invention is a method, and device for extracorporeal hyperthermia treatment of a patient's blood; and/or a regional anatomic area using an optional hemodialysis machine capable of heating the fluids to 48 °C; an optional parallel plate dialyzer with a sorbent based detoxifier; a tubular heat exchanger; and a high flow positive displacement pump, probes, and catheters. A disposable tubing set (200) for directing fluids used in extracorporeal hyperthermia procedures may be used. The tubing set contains a fluid reservoir (119), accommodates the positive displacement pump (122), and a heat exchanger (260) for heating blood or fluid. The improvements in extracorporeal heating by this system inhere in the combined high flow of the pump. A high temperature up to 52 °C in the heat exchanger together provide speed, and efficiency in the administration of hyperthermia treatments. A computer (124) controlls alarms which provide enhanced safety monitoring. The system may be prepackaged to ensure a sterilized fluid handling system.</p> |
