## Indications for Use

The RapidCool™ Patient Temperature Management System is a thermal regulating system indicated for temperature reduction in patients where clinically indicated, e.g. in hyperthermic patients, and monitoring of patient temperature.

## Device Story

RapidCool Patient Temperature Management System reduces/maintains patient body temperature via heat removal. System components: control console, body surface cooling appliances (back pad, right axilla pad, neck pad, head-cooling cap), tubing sets, and esophageal temperature sensor. Console circulates cold water through appliances; thermostatic control allows operator to select target body temperature (32-37°C). Esophageal sensor provides real-time temperature monitoring. Used in clinical settings to manage hyperthermia.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Thermal regulating system using circulating cold water. Components: control console, surface cooling pads (back, axilla, neck, head), tubing, and esophageal temperature sensor. Thermostatic control loop maintains patient temperature between 32-37°C. Class II device (21 CFR 870.5900).

## Regulatory 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.

#### 3. Predicate Devices

The RapidCool Patient Temperature Management System is substantially equivalent to a combination of the Life Recovery Systems ThermoSuit System (K061023) and the Cincinnati Sub Zero Blanketrol (K811742).

### 4. Device Description

The RapidCool™ Patient Temperature Management System reduces, and/or maintains patient body temperature at a desired level by removing heat from a patient's body. The major components of the RapidCool system consist of a Control Console, body surface cooling appliances, tubing sets, and an esophageal temperature sensor. The body surface cooling appliances consist of a back cooling pad, a right axilla-cooling pad, a neck cooling pad, and a head-cooling cap. The control console supplies cold water to the surface cooling appliances, and controls the operation of the system. Tubing sets connect the control console to the surface

cooling appliances. The esophageal temperature sensor is connected to the control console and is used to display and patient body temperature.

Body temperature can be reduced and/or maintained in a temperature range between 32 to 37 degrees centigrade by a thermostatic control feature of the control console. The operator can select the desired body temperature within this range.

#### 5. Indications for Use

The RapidCool Patient Temperature Management System is a thermal regulating system indicated for temperature reduction in patients where clinically indicated, e.g. in hyperthermic patients, and monitoring of patient temperature.

#### 6. Performance Data

Performance data was submitted which demonstrated that the system performs as intended.

Dear Ms. O'Connell:

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.

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. 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 Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
