Abstract
A liquid warming device for heating sterile fluids in a removable container is described with emphasis on the properties of the container interaction with the liquid warming device and with a drape that works with the container to maintain a sterile field above the drape and the top of the container. The interactions between a temperature sensor and a temperature well integrated in the removable container are disclosed. Also disclosed are various desirable aspects for a control system for a liquid warming device are provided. The liquid warming device can selectively employ a adapter in order to receive a container limited to a smaller diameter than the largest container diameter that can be accommodated by the liquid warming device. The small diameter container may receive a volume of sterile fluid so that the liquid warming device can maintain the sterile fluid in the small diameter container within a prescribed range of temperatures above ambient air temperature.
