Abstract
A holder for a heat exchanger in a cardioplegia delivery system including dual couplers releasably engageable with the inlet and outlet ends of the heat exchanger. A one-way shut-off valve is associated with each coupler and opened to provide communication upon mounting of the heat exchanger. The valves automatically close upon release of the heat exchanger. A release member engages both couplers and is manually retractable to simultaneously open both couplers for release of both heat exchanger fittings for instantaneous release of the heat exchanger and a closing of the associated valves.
