1. A feeding fluid warming system comprising:
- a removable liner bag comprising;
an outer bag having an ultraviolet light permeable outer wall defining an outer chamber for holding a warming fluid; and
an inner bag at least partially contained within the outer bag, the inner bag having an ultraviolet light unpermeable outer wall defining an inner chamber for receiving a feeding fluid; and
a warming device comprising;
a container including a sidewall and a floor cooperatively defining an interior chamber for receiving the removable liner bag therein; and
an ultraviolet light source configured to emit ultraviolet light into the outer bag for sterilizing the warming fluid and for heating the warming fluid to warm the feeding fluid in the inner bag.

Abstract
A feeding fluid warming system broadly includes a liner bag and an ultraviolet light warming device. The liner bag includes an inner bag that receives feeding fluid therein and an outer bag that holds warming fluid therein. The warming device includes a container, an ultraviolet light source, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The container receives the liner bag therein and the ultraviolet light source heats the warming fluid, which in turn heats the feeding fluid to temperatures within a thermal neutral zone so as to effectively and consistently maintains the fluids at these temperatures in addition to sterilizing the warming fluid.

19. A feeding fluid warming system comprising:
-
a removable liner bag comprising; an outer bag having an ultraviolet light permeable outer wall defining an outer chamber for holding a warming fluid; and an inner bag at least partially contained within the outer bag and having an ultraviolet light unpermeable outer wall defining an inner chamber for receiving a feeding fluid; and a warming device comprising; a container including a sidewall and a floor cooperatively defining an interior chamber for receiving the liner bag therein; a plurality of ultraviolet light emitting diodes embedded in the container, the ultraviolet light emitting diodes being configured to emit ultraviolet light into the outer bag for sterilizing the warming fluid and for heating the warming fluid to warm the feeding fluid in the inner bag; a vibrating mechanism being configured to mix the warming fluid to ensure that the warming fluid is sterilized; a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature of the warming fluid; an indicator; and a controller connected to the temperature sensor and the indicator, the controller being configured to; turn on the ultraviolet light source to increase the temperature of the feeding fluid to at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit; activate the indicator when the temperature of the feeding fluid has risen to at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit; and alter the output of the ultraviolet light source to maintain the temperature of the feeding fluid between 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
