Intended 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 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.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a thermostatic control system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is indicated for temperature reduction in patients where clinically indicated, such as in hyperthermic patients, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as a "thermal regulating system indicated for temperature reduction... and monitoring of patient temperature." It actively treats hyperthermia by removing heat and monitors temperature. It does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components including a Control Console, body surface cooling appliances, tubing sets, and an esophageal temperature sensor. This is not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • RapidCool System Function: The RapidCool Patient Temperature Management System directly interacts with the patient's body to regulate their temperature. It uses surface cooling appliances and an esophageal temperature sensor to achieve this. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "temperature reduction in patients where clinically indicated... and monitoring of patient temperature." This is a therapeutic and monitoring function performed on the patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device is a therapeutic and monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
