Abstract

An energy delivery device cooling system includes a reservoir connector assembly and an elongate member. The elongate member has first and second lumens in fluid communication with the reservoir. The first lumen includes an outflow port and the second lumen includes a return port each in fluid communication with the reservoir. The device further includes a tubing system having a first end and a second end. The first end connected in fluid communication with the outflow port and the second end in fluid communication with the return port. The second end configured to return a fluid to the reservoir. The tubing system connects to an energy delivery device to cool the fluid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An medical device cooling system, the system comprising:
a reservoir connector assembly connectable to a reservoir and including:
an elongate member configured to extend into the reservoir past a connection port of the reservoir, the elongate member including a first lumen and a second lumen defined therethrough, each lumen in fluid communication with the reservoir;
at least one outflow port in fluid communication with the first lumen; and
at least one…
