The CritiCool is a thermal regulating system, indicated for monitoring and controlling patient temperature.
Device Story
CritiCool is a portable, closed-loop thermal regulation system used in clinical settings to manage patient body temperature. The system comprises a heating/cooling unit, disposable CureWrap garments, and body temperature sensors (rectal, nasopharyngeal, or esophageal). The unit utilizes a solid-state thermo-electric heat pump to circulate tap water through the garment. Operators select a target core temperature (30-40°C); the device automatically regulates water temperature via a feedback loop based on real-time sensor input. The system provides continuous monitoring and automated control, allowing clinicians to maintain or adjust patient temperature as required for therapeutic purposes. The device includes safety alarms for water temperature, flow, and probe faults. By automating the thermal regulation process, the device assists in maintaining patient normothermia or achieving targeted temperature management, potentially benefiting patients requiring precise thermal control.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, including biocompatibility testing of garment materials and comparison of technical specifications and performance parameters against predicate devices.

### Terminology
CritiCool = subiect of this 510(k) submission. The CritiCool is a thermoregulation system based on water circulating via disposable Garment .
Arctic Sun Temperature Management System = the predicate device. was approved for marketing by the FDA - K071341 August 3, 2007
Allon 2001 Ver 5 = the predicate device was approved for marketing by the FDA - K024128 February 10, 2003
### Device Description:
The CritiCool system consists of the following elements:
- Temperature controlled garment .
- . Body sensors
- Connecting flexible water pipes .
- Heating/Cooling Unit .
The system is operated by circulating water by a pump in a closed loop between the device and a disposable garment - CureWrap, worn by the patient. The water circulates through the thermoregulating unit. Temperature (body) sensors are placed on the patient's skin to measure surface temperature and in the rectum, nasopharynx or esophagus to measure core temperature. The operator selects the desired patient core temperature (between 30-40°C) and the unit automatically controls it via a feedback loop. The heating / cooling unit is based on a solid-state thermo-electric device, which operates as a heat pump
The system is essentially portable, vibration free and quiet. It is designed to be connected to a standard 120 /230 VAC supply. The device is placed near the patient. Tubing is connected to both the unit and the garment (worn by the patient) and the unit is switched on. The operator selects the desired body temperature, which the unit then automatically and autonomously regulate.
CritiCool is used with CureWrap Gaments with sizes equivalent to the sizes of the gaments of the Allon 2001 Version 5, predicated device K024128.

Dear Ms. Oren:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
{8}------------------------------------------------
## Page 2 - Ms. Ifat Oren
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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics' (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at 240-276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at 240-276-3464. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
