Intended Use

The COOLGARD™ 3000/Alsius Catheter Thermal Regulation System, using either the IcyTM or Fortius™ model catheter, is indicated for use: - In cardiac surgery patients to achieve and or maintain normothermia during surgery and recovery/intensive care, and - To induce, maintain and reverse mild hypothermia in neurosurgery patients in surgery and recovery/intensive care. The Alsius CoolGard® 3000 and Cool Line™ Catheter Thermal Regulation System is indicated for use in fever reduction, as an adjunct to other antipyretic therapy, in patients with cerebral infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage who require access to the central venous circulation and who are intubated and sedated.

Device Story

CoolGard 3000 is an integrated electro-mechanical thermal regulation system. It uses a temperature probe in the patient to monitor core temperature and a controller to adjust the temperature of a sterile saline bath. This temperature-controlled saline is circulated through an indwelling intravascular catheter (Icy, Fortius, or Cool Line models) placed percutaneously. The system is operated by clinicians in surgical or intensive care settings to manage patient body temperature. By circulating saline through the heat-exchanging catheter, the device adds or removes heat from the patient's blood to achieve a physician-set target temperature. This helps maintain normothermia or induce therapeutic hypothermia, potentially benefiting patients in neuro-critical or cardiac recovery states.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence includes a randomized controlled trial of 296 patients evaluating fever reduction safety across four cohorts: cerebral infarction (CI), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), primary traumatic brain injury (PTBI), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Mortality results were reported for each cohort. Due to safety concerns in specific populations, a boxed warning was mandated for PTBI and SAH patients.

Technological Characteristics

Integrated electro-mechanical heater/cooler system. Components: temperature monitor, temperature controller, heat exchanger, and roller pump. Uses disposable start-up kits and intravascular catheters for percutaneous placement. Operates by circulating temperature-controlled sterile saline. Software-controlled thermal regulation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for cardiac surgery patients (normothermia maintenance) and neurosurgery patients (mild hypothermia induction/maintenance/reversal). Also indicated for fever reduction in intubated/sedated patients with cerebral infarction or intracerebral hemorrhage. Contraindicated for fever reduction in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage or primary traumatic brain injury.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A thermal regulating system is an external system consisting of a device that is placed in contact with the patient and a temperature controller for the device. The system is used to regulate patient temperature.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Cool Line Catheter will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling as a box warning immediately following the indications for use statement: The safety of this device has not been demonstrated for fever reduction in patients presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage or primary traumatic brain injury. The safety and effectiveness of this device was examined in a randomized controlled trial of 296 patients. The mortality results reported in this trial, for the four patient cohorts enrolled, are presented in the table below (CI, cerebral infarction, ICH -- intracerebral hemorrhage, PTBI - primary traumatic brain injury, SAH - subarachnoid hemorrhage). {4}------------------------------------------------ #### Page 2 - Kenneth A.

Please note that the above labeling limitation is required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before this limitation is modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling. This limitation does not apply to the Icy & Fortius Catheters. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marked predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement described above is added to your labeling. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. {5}------------------------------------------------ Page 3 - Kenneth A.
