Device Story

The IQool System is a surface cooling device used in clinical settings to maintain and monitor adult patient temperature between 33°C and 37°C. It consists of an ECU 100 refrigeration/control unit, a monopropylene glycol-based coolant (BC COOL), and single-use cooling pads applied to the head/neck, torso, or thigh. The system circulates coolant (4°C to 30°C) through the pads to facilitate heat exchange. A physician or clinician operates the system via a touchscreen monitor, setting target temperatures and durations. The device uses third-party temperature probes for patient feedback; an internal control system automatically adjusts coolant flow via solenoid valves to maintain the target temperature. Alarms notify the user of errors or deviations. By automating the cooling process, the device provides controlled thermal regulation, potentially improving patient tolerance and reducing the risk of over-cooling compared to manual cooling methods.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluation included functional testing, temperature control accuracy, cooling pad performance, software validation, shipping/handling, climate testing, biocompatibility of patient-contacting parts, and standards testing (electrical safety, EMC, usability, alarm systems, and coolant microbiology).

Technological Characteristics

Surface cooling system; refrigeration unit (ECU 100) with touchscreen; monopropylene glycol coolant; single-use neoprene-backed cooling pads. Sensing: YSI 400 Series compatible temperature probes.

The Arctic Sun System consists of the Arctic Sun Control Module and disposable ArcticGel Pads. A patient temperature probe connected to the Control Module provides patient temperature feedback to an internal control algorithm which automatically increases or decreases the circulating water temperature to achieve a pre-set patient target temperature determined by the clinician. | | | | | | | liters of BC COOL are delivered with the system.

The intended use and indications for use for the Subject and Predicate devices are the same. Both devices are applying cooling to the patient at the same location on the body. The main differences are the energy source for the Subject device is electrical and clinicians can manage cooling with the touch screen settings of the device, whereas with the Predicate device, the user must manage cooling manually by applying and removing the pads to achieve the desired level of cooling. The Predicate cooling pads are stored frozen at 0 to -10°C which is {12}------------------------------------------------ considerably colder than the coolant in the IOool, which ranges in temperature from +4 to 30°C. This difference in temperature and approach to the cooling process may mean that the Predicate can cool at a faster rate than the Subject device. but that the Subject device may be better tolerated, and with the Subject device there may be a lower risk of over cooling a patient. ### Performance Data Testing was completed for the IQool™ System which demonstrated intended, labeled device performance. Performance testing included functional testing, temperature testing, temperature control, cooling pads, full software testing, shipping and handling, and climate testing, biocompatibility testing for patient contacting parts, and standards testing including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, usability, alarm systems, and microbiological testing for the coolant. All testing confirmed that the IQool™ System operates as described and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The IQool™ System was tested to conform to the following standards: - . IEC/EN 60601-1:2005 ed 3.1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - IEC/EN 60601-1-2:2007 ed. 3 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests - IEC/EN 60601-1-6:2010 ed. 3 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-6: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Usability - IEC/EN 60601-1-8:2006 ed. 2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-8: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems - IEC/EN 62304:2007 ed. 1 Medical device software - Software life-cycle processes - . IEC/EN 50581:2014 ed. 1 Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances - ASTM-D4169 Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and ● Systems - IEC-TR 60721-4-7 Classification of environmental conditions Part 4-7: Guidance for the ● correlation and transformation of environmental condition classes of IEC 60721-3 to the environmental tests of IEC 60068 - Portable and non-stationary use - ISO 14971:2012 ed. 4 Medical devices Application of risk management to medical devices ● - ISO 13485:2012 ed. 3 Medical devices ● {13}------------------------------------------------ ### Conclusion It is the opinion of the Sponsor that the IQool™ System does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness in comparison to the Predicate. The differences in technological characteristics between the IQool™ System and the Predicate are not critical and thus meet the requirements of 21 CFR 807.87(f). Therefore, the sponsor has determined that the IQool™ System is substantially equivalent to its Predicate EMCoolspad K100071.
