1. A thermal treatment system for thermally treating a sterile medium in a sterile surgery environment, said system comprising:
- a system housing including a top surface;
a basin disposed on said top surface for containing said sterile medium;
a thermal treatment unit to thermally treat said sterile medium disposed in said basin;
a temperature sensor located proximate said basin to measure a temperature of said sterile medium disposed in said basin;
an alarm to notify a user of a status of the measured sterile medium temperature relative to a desired temperature range; and
a controller selectively manipulable by the user to control system operation, wherein said controller directs said thermal treatment unit to thermally treat said sterile medium to a desired temperature in accordance with said manipulation and controls said alarm to notify the user of said measured temperature status relative to said desired temperature range.

9. In a thermal treatment system for thermally treating a sterile medium including a system housing having a top surface, a basin disposed on said top surface for containing said sterile medium and a thermal treatment unit to thermally treat said sterile medium disposed in said basin, a method of controlling said system to thermally treat said sterile medium comprising the steps of:
-
(a) controlling said thermal treatment unit to thermally treat said sterile medium to a desired temperature in accordance with manipulation of a controller by a user to control system operation;
(b) measuring a temperature of said sterile medium disposed in said basin with a temperature sensor located proximate said basin; and
(c) controlling an alarm to notify a user of a status of the measured sterile medium temperature relative to a desired temperature range. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
