A medical device includes a housing, a power supply, a thermally conductive mounting clamp, a heat shield, and at least one fastener. The housing includes a handle. The power supply is disposed within the housing. The thermally conductive mounting clamp is attached to an outer surface of the housing. The heat shield is disposed within the housing adjacent to the power supply. The heat shield is disposed against at least one interior surface of the handle. The at least one fastener passes through at least one opening in the housing and is in thermally conductive contact with the thermally conductive mounting clamp. Heat generated by the power supply is configured to dissipate from the power supply, through the heat shield, through the at least one fastener, and into the thermally conductive mounting clamp.

Thermal management system and method for medical devices

A free flow mitigating device for a fluid administration set includes a pump driver mechanism having a locator pin attached and positioned to register with a locator hole on the administration set, for example in a cassette. The locator pin has a surface area. A compressible material is attached to at least a portion of the surface area of the locator pin. The compressible material has a thickness such that it is frictionally received within the locator hole of the cassette sufficient to provide a retaining force to resist cassette movement during closing of a flow regulator valve of the cassette.
