The Hybrid ArcticGel™ Pad is indicated as a standalone cooling device for the reduction of core temperature of adult patients where clinically indicated (e.g. heat stroke or hyperthermia). Additionally, the Hybrid ActicGel™ Pad is indicated as an adjunct to patient temperature control with the Arctic Sun® Temperature Management System. The Hybrid ArcticGel™ Pad is intended for use by health care professionals in all clinical environments, including, but not limited to in- hospital as well as EMS/transport settings.
Device Story
Hybrid ArcticGel Pad functions as a dual-mode thermal regulation device. In Ice Gel Mode, pre-frozen pads (stored at -3°C to -20°C) are applied directly to patient skin; heat transfer occurs via conduction through hydrogel adhesive into the ice gel compartment, providing cooling for 60-90 minutes. In Water Flow Mode, pads connect to the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System; temperature-controlled water circulates through the pad to maintain target patient temperature. Used by healthcare professionals in hospitals or EMS/transport settings. Output is patient core temperature modulation. Benefits include early initiation of cooling in pre-hospital settings and continuous temperature management in clinical environments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and porcine skin model testing performed. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-05/10) confirmed hydrogel adhesive is non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing. Porcine model demonstrated that minimum mean skin temperature remains above freezing, reaching minimum values within 15 minutes and rising over 90 minutes; placement was well-tolerated. Comparative performance testing confirmed cooling and temperature control performance equivalent to predicates.
Technological Characteristics
Noninvasive surface thermal regulation pad. Materials: polymer construction with biocompatible medical adhesive. Sensing/Actuation: conductive heat transfer via hydrogel layer. Energy Source: passive (pre-frozen ice) or active (circulating water via Arctic Sun system). Connectivity: fluid line connection to Arctic Sun control module. Sterilization: not specified. Software: none.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients requiring core temperature reduction (e.g., heat stroke, hyperthermia) or temperature control via the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System. Intended for use by healthcare professionals in hospital and EMS/transport settings.
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.

# Device Description
The Arctic Sun Hybrid ArcticGel Pads are a modified version of the Arctic Sun ArcticGel Pads.
The Hybrid ArcticGel Pad is designed to operate in two different modes, Ice Gel Mode in which is the pre-frozen pads are used as standalone devices to initiate patient cooling, and Water Flow Mode in which the pads are connected to the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System which is used to control the patient at a target temperature.
These dual modes provide the opportunity for early initiation of cooling in the pre-hospital setting or the hospital emergency department followed by continued temperature management with the Arctic Sun once the ice gel is thawed.
The Hybrid ArcticGel Pads are pre-frozen in a freezer operating between -3°C and -20°C (27°F and -4°F). The release liners are removed from the hydrogel adhesive, and the frozen Hybrid ArcticGel Pads are applied to the patient's skin. Between 4 and 8 pads are applied to the patient, depending on the patient's size and patient temperature reduction required. Heat from the patient is conducted through the hydrogel and pad layers into the ice gel compartment. The heat from the skin melts the ice gel. The duration of Ice Gel Mode is approximately 60 to 90 minutes from the time of application to complete melting of the Ice Gel.

Below the company name is the tagline "Committed to Restoring Life" in a smaller, italicized font. The overall design is clean and professional.
To convert to Water Flow Mode, pad lines are irreversibly snapped onto the inlet and outlet water ports of the Hybrid ArcticGel Pads. The pad line connectors are connected to the Arctic Sun fluid delivery line. Up to 6 Hybrid ArcticGel Pads may be connected to the Arctic Sun. Temperature controlled water from the Arctic Sun control module can then be circulated through the pad. The water passes through the water flow compartment, allowing heat to be transferred from the patient's skin across the hydrogel adhesive and into the circulating water.
#### Indications for Use
The Hybrid ArcticGe!™ Pad is indicated as a standalone cooling device for the reduction of core temperature of adult patients where clinically indicated (e.g. heat stroke or hyperthermia).
Additionally, the Hybrid ActicGel™ Pad is indicated as an adjunct to patient temperature control with the Arctic Sun® Temperature Management System.
The Hybrid ArcticGel™ Pad is intended for use by health care professionals in all clinical environments, including, but not limited to in- hospital as well as EMS/transport settings.
### Substantial Equivalence
The Arctic Sun Hybrid ArcticGel Pad was shown to be substantially equivalent in intended use, design, technological characteristics, materials and system features and functions to the predicate devices.
The Hybrid ArcticGel Pad and the predicated ArcticGel Pads and EMCOOLS Pads are noninvasive surface temperature management devices. The Hybrid ArcticGel Pads and the EMCOOLS Pads may be pre-frozen and used as standalone devices for use in patient temperature reduction. Additionally, the Hybrid ArcticGel Pads and the predicate ArcticGel Pads may be used in with the Artic Sun Temperature Management System for use in continuous patient temperature monitoring and control.
The Hybrid ArcticGel Pads and the predicate devices are manufactured from polymer materials that are common to many disposable medical devices, and utilize a biocompatible medical adhesive material to adhere the pads to the patient's skin. The Hybrid ArcticGel Pads and the predicate devices are of similar sizes and weights, and provide similar cooling capacities and durations.
#### Testing
Biocompatibility testing performed in accordance with ISO 10993-05 and 10993-10 demonstrated the hydrogel patient adhesive to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating and nonsensitizing.
Comparative performance testing demonstrated that the cooling and temperature control performance of the Hybrid ArcticGel Pads is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices.

Safety tests performed in the porcine skin model demonstrated that the minimum mean skin temperature remains above freezing, reaches its minimum value within the first 15 minutes after pad application, and gradually rises over the course of the 90 minute cooling treatment. The placement of the frozen Hybrid ArcticGel Pads on the pigs' skin of pigs was welltolerated.
#### Conclusions
Based upon the testing and comparison to the predicate devices, the Arctic Sun Hybrid Arctic Gel Pad performs as intended and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues.
