1. A temperature sensing system for measuring temperature of a sterile medical fluid, the temperature sensing device comprising:

  • a medical fluid line configured to couple to a medical fluid container housing a sterile medical fluid, the medical fluid line receiving the sterile medical fluid from the medical fluid container and directing the sterile medical fluid downstream toward a patient;

    a thermal treatment device coupled to the medical fluid line, the thermal treatment device operable to thermally treat the sterile medical fluid as it flows downstream from the medical fluid container;

    a temperature sensing device disposed along the medical fluid line at a position downstream from the thermal treatment device, the temperature sensing device comprising;

    an inline conduit coupled to the medical fluid line, the inline conduit permitting the passage of fluid downstream to the patient, anda sensor housing mounted on the inline conduit, the sensor housing including a first temperature sensor to indicate a first measured temperature and a second temperature sensor to indicate a second measured temperature; and

    a controller in communication with the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, the controller operable to compare the first measured temperature to said second measured temperature.
