Abrégé

The present application relates to a method for disinfection of a temperature control device for human body temperature control during extracorporeal circulation which temperature control is conducted by use of a heat exchanger and a temperature control liquid circulating through the heat exchanger and the temperature control device. According to the present application, the temperature control device is connected to a temperature control liquid supply and, during operation of the temperature control device for human body temperature control, a disinfectant is selectively added to the temperature control liquid supply upstream of the temperature control device.

A device for pumping blood in an extracorporeal circuit includes a centrifugal pump that suctions the blood to be pumped via a venous hose line connected to a suction side of the pump and releases it via an arterial hose line connected to a release side of the pump. The device includes a flow sensor that detects a released quantity on the release side of the pump and emits a measurement signal corresponding to the released quantity, a pressure sensor that detects the pressure on the release side of the pump and emits a measurement signal corresponding to the pressure, and an evaluation unit to which the measurement signals of the sensors are fed and which determines a value corresponding to the pressure on the suction side of the pump, taking into consideration the two measurements signals and the rotational speed of the centrifugal pump.

A life support system such as a heart-lung machine may include a plurality of medical devices a control panel and an excellent control position. The control panel may have separate control elements for operating the medical devices. The control panel may be constructed protruding essentially flat over a floor area of the majority of the medical devices. The control panel may be constructed to protrude in such a manner, that a control element, aligned only with a particular device and with the control position, is assigned to each device.
