The Quattro Catheter Model IC4593, connected to an Alsius Catheter Thermal Regulation System, is indicated for use: - in cardiac surgery patients to achieve and or maintain normothermia during surgery and recovery/intensive care, and - to induce, maintain and reverse mild hypothermia in neurosurgery patients in surgery and recovery/intensive care.
Device Story
Quattro Catheter Model IC4593 is a multi-lumen intravascular catheter used with an Alsius Catheter Thermal Regulation System. Device functions by circulating sterile saline through internal lumens to exchange heat with central venous blood. During operation, saline flow expands distal catheter portion to 5mm or 8mm diameter, where heating/cooling membranes interface with blood. Used in clinical settings (surgery, intensive care) by medical professionals to manage patient body temperature. Output is thermal regulation of patient blood supply; clinical benefit is maintenance of normothermia or induction of therapeutic hypothermia.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and design similarities to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-lumen intravascular catheter; heat exchange via circulating sterile saline; distal heating/cooling membranes expand to 5mm or 8mm nominal diameter; interfaces with central venous blood supply; Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for cardiac surgery patients to achieve/maintain normothermia and neurosurgery patients to induce/maintain/reverse mild hypothermia during surgery and recovery/intensive care.
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.

## Name of Device:
Quattro Catheter Model IC4593
#### Common or Usual Name:
Central Venous Catheter (short term) and Thermal Regulating System.
#### Classification Name:
21 CFR 870.5900 System, hypothermia, intravenous, cooling
#### Predicate Device:
K052443 Alsius Icy Catheter Kit Model IC-3893A Decision Date 10/17/2005
Substantially equivalent (SE) Decision
## Indications for Use
The Quattro Catheter Model IC4593, connected to an Alsius Catheter Thermal Regulation System, is indicated for use:
- . in cardiac surgery patients to achieve and or maintain normothermia during surgery and recovery/intensive care, and
- to induce, maintain and reverse mild hypothermia in neurosurgery patients in surgery . and recovery/intensive care.
#### Technical Characteristics:
The QUATTRO catheters are multi lumen intravascular catheters in various sizes. In common across the models, the catheters have two lumens that are used to circulate sterile saline to exchange heat with the central venous blood supply. When the heat exchange feature of the catheter is in use, heated/chilled saline is pumped through the heat exchange lumen, expanding the diameter of the distal portion of the catheter to a nominal 5mm or 8mm where the heating/cooling membranes interface with the patient's circulating blood.
