No
The device description and performance studies do not mention any AI or ML components. The device is a passive cooling pad.
Yes
The device is described as reducing temperature in hyperthermic patients, which is a therapeutic intervention. It is designed to treat a medical condition (hyperthermia) by cooling the skin.
No
The device is a cooling device for temperature reduction, not one that diagnoses a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "single use surface (skin) cooling device" made of "thermoplastic polyurethane, filled with high thermal conductivity material, stored frozen". This describes a physical, hardware-based device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Temperature reduction in adult patients where clinically indicated, e.g. in hyperthermic patients." This describes a therapeutic intervention applied directly to the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "single use surface (skin) cooling device" that is "adherent to the patient's skin." This further confirms it's a device for external application.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. IVDs are designed for this purpose.
The device described is a therapeutic device used for external cooling, not a diagnostic device used for testing biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biocompatibility Testing: Performed according to ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, prEN ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, and ISO 10993-12. Conducted by Medical Device Services - Dr. Rossberger GmbH.
Performance Testing - Bench: Lab testing done internally by Research & Development to benchmark the EMCOOLSpad and predicate devices. No difference between the EMCOOLSpad and the ArcticSun could be detected in terms of the cooling-rate. The EMCOOLSpad cooks down not as aggressively as seen for the very fast cooling-rate of the ThermoSuit, concluded to be physiologically even better tolerated.
Performance Testing - Animal: Animal testing done by qualified and trained physicians and nurses to demonstrate "under-the-pad" skin safety of the EMCOOLSpad on pigs after 24h and 1 week. No skin damage could be detected on the large amount of pig skin photos recorded, concluding it is safe to use in terms of skin safety.

Device Description
The EMCOOLSpad is a single use surface (skin) cooling device, which is adherent to the patien's skin and so highly adjustable during the cooling procedure.
An EMCOOLSpad consists of multiple cooling-cells made of thermoplastic polyurethane, filled with high thermal conductivity material, stored frozen at 0 to -10°C.
Physics and Mechanism Summary
In nature there is always an automatically started balancing-process among interacting subjects, this process stops automatically when a perfectly balanced energy level is reached.
For the EMCOOLSpad and the patient this interaction process is started automatically when the pads are adhered to the skin (see sketch below) and ends automatically with a balanced energy level between cold pad and warm skin.
If you remove EMCOOLSpads from the patient 's body, another balancing-process commences automatically, leading to a slow and mild re-warming, again to a certain "balanced level".
Image /page/1/Figure/10 description: This image shows the heat exchange mechanism of the EMCOOLSpads. The diagram shows the skin and body with arrows indicating the flow of cold and warm energy. The legend indicates that the white space represents pad cells, and the white lines represent cell covers. The arrows show the direction of heat transfer between the skin and body.
Between start-point and end-point of this balancing process, the cold goes into the skin vertically and locally first, but immediately is "transported" away into the complete human body and cools it down. Seen from the patient 's perspective the warmth of the body and skin is "transported" into the pad and melts it.
User and Patient Interface
The patient's core temperature is regulated within in a certain temperature range by manually removing (= warming) or applying (=cooling) the EMCOOLSpads.
Device Interface
A commercially available third-party temperature probe connected to a commercially available third-party monitor senses the patient's core temperature.

The EMCOOLSpad and the identified predicate devices are all non-invasive, thermal regulating systems for patient surface cooling under permanent contact to the patients skin during cooling targeting the removal of thermal energy from the patient.
The technical realization how to cool down a patient might be differently solved, but the features and functional criteria above make all devices substantially equivalent.

Testing
Biocompatibility Testing was performed according to these standards:
ISO 10993-1: Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing; 2003
ISO 10993-5: 1999-11; Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for cytotoxicity; in vitro methods.
prEN ISO 10993-5: 2007, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
ISO 10993-10; Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10 Test for irritation and delayed hypersensitivity (components).
ISO 10993 -12: 2008 -02, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials.
The tests were conducted by Medical Device Services - Dr. Rossberger GmbH, Lilienthalstraße 4, 82205 Gilching, Germany (www.mdservices.de) acc. to Directive 93/43/EEC, 90/385/EEC, EN ISO/IEC 17025 (ZLG-P-870.96.08 accredited) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
Performance Testing - Bench
Lab testing was done internally by Research & Development to benchmark the EMCOOLSpad and the predicate devices.
No difference between the EMCOOLSpad and the ArcticSun could be detected in terms of the cooling-rate. The EMCOOLSpad does cool down not as aggressively as seen for the very fast cooling-rate of the ThermoSuit, so we conclude it is physiologically even better tolerated.
Performance Testing - Animal
Animal testing was done by qualified and trained physicians and nurses to demonstrate the "under-the-pad" skin safety of the EMCOOLSpad on pigs after 24h and 1 week. Both for the immediate assessment of potential damages (24h) and for the assessment of potential damages developing over time (1 week), not any skin damage could be detected on the large amount of pig skin photos recorded. So we conclude it is safe to use it in terms of skin safety.

Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows a logo for EMCOOLS. The logo features the text "EMCOOLS" in a rectangular box. Above the text, there is a graphic that resembles a waveform or a mountain range, adding a dynamic element to the design.
Conclusion
The comparison of the EMCOOLSpad and the predicate devices resulted -based on functional criteria- in the conclusion that the EMCOOLSpad is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Based upon the biocompatibility- and performance-testing we conclude that the EMCOOLSpad temperature reduction system performs as intended and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues.
