Claim 0:
1. Fluid temperature control device for an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, the fluid temperature control device comprising:
a casing delimiting a heating/cooling seat configured to accommodate a fluid warming/cooling bag connected or connectable to an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus;
heating/cooling element operatively active in the heating/cooling seat to heat/cool the fluid warming/cooling bag;
a first presence detector operatively active at the heating/cooling seat and configured to detect the presence and type of the fluid warming/cooling bag;
wherein the first presence detector comprises a first transmitter configured to emit a first signal and a first receiver configured to receive the first signal;
wherein the first receiver is positioned with respect to the first transmitter to selectively receive first signal from the first transmitter after reflection of the first signal;
a second presence detector operatively active at the heating/cooling seat and configured w detect the presence and type of the fluid warming/cooling bag;
wherein the second presence detector comprises a second transmitter configured to emit a second signal and a second receiver configured to receive the second signal;
wherein the second receiver is positioned with respect to the second transmitter to selectively receive the second signal from the second transmitter after reflection of the second signal; and
an electronic control unit operatively connected to the first and second presence detectors, the electronic control unit configured to:
receive a first detector signal from the first presence detector and a second detector signal from the second presence detector,
analyze the received tint detector signal and the received second detector signal,
determine, based on the received and analyzed first and second detector signals, when the fluid warming/cooling bats is properly accommodated in the heating/cooling seat and a type of the fluid warming/cooling bag accommodated in the heating/cooling seat.
