### Indications for Use
The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System is a thermal regulating system, indicated for monitoring and controlling patient temperature in adult and pediatric patients of all ages.
### Device Description
The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System is a non-invasive, thermal regulating system that monitors and controls patient temperature within a range of 32°C to 38.5°C (89.6°F to 101.3°F). The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System consists of the Arctic Sun 5000 Control Module and disposable non-sterile ArcticGel Pads. The control module recirculates temperature-controlled water to the ArcticGel Pads. A commercially-available medical temperature probe, such as naso-pharyngeal, bladder, rectal, or esophageal,
{4}------------------------------------------------
connected to the control module senses the patient's core temperature. A control algorithm automatically adjusts the water temperature (automatic mode) or the clinician can adjust the water temperature (manual mode) to obtain the desired patient temperature. The ArcticGel Pads come in various sizes to cover a broad range of patients and fit both males and females. Each pad has an inlet and an outlet connection that attaches to a fluid delivery line that is connected to the Arctic Sun 5000 Control Module. Up to six pads can be connected at one time. The pads adhere to the patient by the use of a biocompatible hydrogel adhesive.
Please note that this Special 510(k) Notice is specific to the Arctic Sun 5000 Control Module. The ArcticGel Pads are previously 510(k) cleared under K002577 and K142702 and are not the subject of the Special 510(k) Notice.
# Purpose of Special 510(k) Notice
The purpose of this 510(k) is to modify the cleared Arctic Sun Temperature Management System by incorporating minor component, software and associated labeling changes.
# Summary of Technical Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device
The modifications to the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System do not change the intended use, indications for use, or fundamental scientific technology of the device. The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System (Model 5000) includes the following modifications:
- New alert and alarm (software change)
- Option to add two additional customizable protocols (software change) ●
- . Data output capability for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) connectivity support (software change)
- System default changes
- User preference changes to the user interface (software change)
- New/modified components ●
- Labeling (new caution, new IFU for temperature simulator key, and various changes ● for clarifications and/or safer use of the device)
### Performance Testing
The software for the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System was developed and is maintained in accordance with the FDA "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Device" (05/11/05) and "General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff" (1/11/02). Hardware design verification and software validation of the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System was performed to verify all new system and software requirements, the result of which confirmed the function of the device modifications.
In addition to functional testing, the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System was retested, when applicable to confirm ongoing compliance with Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards.
{5}------------------------------------------------
### Substantial Equivalence
The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System has the same Indications for Use, Intended Use and fundamental scientific technology as the predicate Arctic Sun Temperature Management System. The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System was shown to be substantially equivalent in indications for use, design, technological characteristics, materials, and system features and functions to the predicate device.
### Conclusion
Based on the testing and comparison to the predicate device, the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System performs as intended, raises no new or different safety or effectiveness issues and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
