The ThermoSuit System™ is a thermal requlating system.
Indications for Use are
a. Temperature reduction in patients where clinically
indicated, e.g. in hyperthermic patients;
b. Monitoring of patient temperature.
The ThermoSuit System (TSS) is a device that allows rapid patient cooling by the circulation of cold water in direct contact with the skin of the patient. Patient temperature measurements control the extent and duration of cooling, by controlling pump output and drainage of cooling fluid. Temperature measurements and associated alarm signals are designed to prevent overcooling.
The ThermoSuit System™ consists of the following main components:
- . ThermoSuit Body Enclosure
- Multi-lumen Umbilicus Hose .
- . Reservoir/Pump Assembly
- . Pump Controller Console
- . Other Components
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the ThermoSuit System, based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document doesn't explicitly define numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., cooling rate target, temperature accuracy range) or quantifiable performance metrics for the ThermoSuit System. Instead, the performance testing focuses on functional verification and comparison with a predicate device.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from context) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Human Volunteers (for suit optimization): Sample size not specified.
- ThermoSuit Body Enclosures (mechanical integrity): "All suits" implies the entire production batch or a representative sample from it. Sample size not specified quantitatively.
- Functional Testing (new and aged components): Sample size not specified quantitatively for components, but refers to "ThermoSuit System" and "ThermoSuit Body Enclosures."
- Comparative Cooling Bench Study:
- Test Set: One "Heated Mannequin."
- Data Provenance: Benchtop study (laboratory setting).
- Animal Study:
- Test Set: "Large pigs." Sample size not specified quantitatively.
- Data Provenance: Animal study (presumably in a controlled laboratory or research facility).
- Design Validation (User Testing):
- Test Set: Four (4) Users, completing a total of nine (9) test runs.
- Data Provenance: User testing, likely in a simulated clinical or laboratory environment.
- Data Provenance (overall): Primarily internal testing (bench, animal, user validation). Country of origin is not specified, but the company is US-based (Kinnelon, NJ), suggesting US provenance. All studies appear to be prospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- For the technical and functional performance tests (mechanical integrity, pump/controller, software), the "ground truth" would be established by the engineering and testing protocols themselves, not typically by experts in a clinical sense.
- For the cooling studies (mannequin and animal), the ground truth is the actual measured temperature change and cooling rates. This is a direct measurement, not an expert consensus.
- For the user validation test, the ground truth for understanding the manual and device operation was established through a "detailed questionnaire" answered by the four users. Their qualifications as "Users" are not further specified (e.g., nurses, technicians, physicians), but they are implied to be representative of target operators.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable in the conventional sense. The studies described are primarily objective measurements (temperature, pressure, functional checks) or direct user feedback (questionnaire). There's no mention of subjective interpretation of results requiring adjudication by multiple readers or evaluators.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, an MRMC study was not done. The comparative studies involved the device and a predicate device in bench and animal models, not human readers interpreting cases.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:
The ThermoSuit System is a medical device that involves direct interaction with a patient and a human operator. Its "performance" isn't a standalone algorithm in the way an AI diagnostic tool would be. The closest equivalent would be the automated functions of the pump controller and software. The document states:
- "Performance testing of the ThermoSuit System included a full evaluation of the Pump/Controller functions and software validation; the results conformed to the device specifications."
This indicates that the automated control aspects were tested for their inherent functionality according to specifications, representing a form of standalone performance for the automated components.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Objective Measurements: For mechanical tests (pressure), functional tests (pump/controller, software), and cooling studies (temperature reduction, cooling rate).
- Test Specifications: The device was tested against its own "performance specifications" and "design parameters."
- User Feedback: For understanding of the Operator's Manual and device operation in the design validation.
- Compliance with Standards: For biocompatibility, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Comparison to Predicate Device: For cooling effectiveness, where the predicate device's performance served as a benchmark for "comparable" results.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The development and optimization processes of the ThermoSuit System likely involved iterative design, prototyping, and testing (including the human volunteer testing for suit dimensions/operating parameters), which could be considered analogous to "training" in an engineering context, but not a data-driven training set for an algorithm. No specific sample sizes for such iterative development are provided here.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
As above, there is no "training set" in the AI/ML context for this device. The development process would have involved engineering design principles, physical testing, and potentially user feedback during various stages to refine the product, with "ground truth" being established by physical measurements, functional requirements, and design specifications.

7.2 Device Description
The ThermoSuit System (TSS) is a device that allows rapid patient cooling by the circulation of cold water in direct contact with the skin of the patient. Patient temperature measurements control the extent and duration of cooling, by controlling pump output and drainage of cooling fluid. Temperature measurements and associated alarm signals are designed to prevent overcooling.
The ThermoSuit System™ consists of the following main components:
-
. ThermoSuit Body Enclosure
An inflatable mattress lies beneath the patient, and a top sheet covers most of the patient (excluding the face). Both the mattress and the top sheet have integral fluid channels that bring circulating water in direct contact with the skin. An integral Level Control Assembly maintains the fluid height in the suit. -
Multi-lumen Umbilicus Hose .
A Multi-lumen Umbilicus Hose connects the ThermoSuit Body Enclosure to the pump assembly via single twist on connector housings. -
. Reservoir/Pump Assembly
The Reservoir/Pump Assembly consists of the pump drive units and reservoir bag integrated into a single assembly for quick drop-in installation. -
. Pump Controller Console
The Pump Controller Console contains all the electronics, pneumatics and motor drives for the system. User controls are operated from a touchscreen display that is swivel mounted to adjust to user preference. A reusable temperature probe cable is included with the unit. -
. Other Components
Disposables kit also contains: Operator's Manual (PN 53001), a T-Type esophageal thermocouple probe and a ThermoSuit Patch Kit (PN 73006).

7.3 Device Functions
A patient who requires cooling is placed into the mattress of the ThermoSuit Body Enclosure. In use, the mattress is inflated with air and conforms to the shape and size of the patient. A polyurethane top sheet is attached to the rim of the inflated ThermoSuit with Velcro strips and covers the patient up to the level of the neck. Both the mattress and the top sheet have built-in flow channels that allow water to be pumped against the patient's skin for heat exchange. The mattress has a porous lining (polyester batting) that aids fluid circulation, and a drain channel system that returns water to the Level Control Assembly.
Patient temperature is monitored by means of an esophageal temperature probe. Alternatively, patient temperature may be measured with a nasopharyngeal temperature probe.
The target temperature for the treatment is entered on the touch screen, and cooling therapy is initiated. Cold water is circulated through the top and the bottom of the ThermoSuit Body Enclosure, drips on the patient, and is returned to the polyurethane reservoir in the Reservoir/Pump Assembly.
When the patient temperature approaches the target temperature, the Pump Controller Console alerts the user and purges the water from the ThermoSuit Body Enclosure. Water may also be purged by manual control.

7.7 Performance Testing
The ThermoSuit Body Enclosure was tested with human volunteers; the results were used to optimize suit dimensions and operating parameters.
Performance testing of the ThermoSuit Body Enclosure included a 50% excess pressure of the air compartments and fluid channels; all suits passed testing.
The ThermoSuit System was functionally tested with new and aged ThermoSuit Body Enclosures by measuring the relevant design parameters; the product met all performance specifications.
Performance testing of the ThermoSuit System included a full evaluation of the Pump/Controller functions and software validation; the results conformed to the device specifications.
Cooling studies comparing the ThermoSuit System and the predicate device were run in two models:
(1) Heated mannequin comparative cooling bench study
(2) Animal study (large pigs) with ThermoSuit's adapted to the animal's shape.
The results were comparable insofar as the new device and the predicate device both cooled the test systems, but cooling occurred at a higher rate in the new device.
7.8 Design Validation
The design was validated during functional testing by four (4) Users; completing a total of nine (9) test runs. Monitoring of water volumes in the ThermoSuit Body Enclosure and reservoir were made during system operation and showed that the system worked in the hands of users. The users' responses to a detailed questionnaire established that they understood the Operator's Manual, the device and its' operation.
