Yes.
The device is indicated for fever reduction, achieving/maintaining normothermia, and inducing/maintaining/reversing hypothermia, all of which are direct interventions for medical conditions.
No.
The device is intended for therapeutic purposes (temperature regulation), not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly details physical components including catheters, a Start-Up Kit (SUK), and a console (CoolGard 3000 or Thermogard XP). It describes the physical connection and circulation of fluid through these hardware components for heat exchange. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a system used for thermal regulation within the patient's body by circulating fluid through a catheter placed in the central venous circulation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device description details a system of catheters, a start-up kit, and a console that work together to control patient temperature. It involves the physical manipulation of temperature within the patient's bloodstream.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's disease state or condition based on such analysis. The device's function is purely related to temperature management.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

Usability/Human Factors - Formative Testing:
- Summary: Human factors formative testing was performed to determine if users trained according to the IFU can properly perform tasks related to identifying infusion lumens, connecting Luers to the SUK, identifying saline IN and OUT Luers, identifying appropriate lumens for pharmacological infusate, and disconnecting and evacuating saline from the catheter. Four scenarios were presented, and all participants correctly executed each scenario with no failures. This indicates that the device design, training content and the IFU adequately mitigate the risk of misconnections.
Usability/Human Factors - Summative Testing:
- Summary: Human factors summative testing was performed to evaluate if users trained according to the ZOLL Custom Luer Training Program and IFU can properly perform tasks related to matching new catheter and SUK with custom Luers, placing a 20 cc syringe on the saline hook, connecting IN and OUT Luers on the catheter to the SUK, selecting an infusion lumen, using a 20 cc syringe for aspiration after temperature management, and aspirating saline prior to catheter removal. All 5 scenarios were presented. The acceptance criteria were met with 100% of the users passing the critical tests (9-13). All of the non-critical items (1-8 and 14-15) were passed with at least 12 participants passing (80%). This testing confirms that the custom Luer design, training, and IFU facilitate appropriate catheter and SUK connections.

Table 6. Luer Performance Testing
Based on the test results obtained, it can be concluded that all of the standard and custom catheter Luers, custom SUK Luers, and custom catheter vented caps are qualified for use in the assemblies used to manufacture the modified SUK and the modified Cool Line, ICY and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters.
Biocompatibility
To verify the biocompatibility of the modified Luers for the Cool Line, ICY, and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters. ZOLL conducted biocompatibility testing on the proximal (modified) portion of the catheter only. Similarly, to verify the biocompatibility of the modified SUK, ZOLL conducted biocompatibility testing on the SUK Custom Luers only. Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with GLP regulations.
Because the Custom Molded Luer Set components located on the SUK and on the proximal end of the catheter only have indirect blood contact and prolonged exposure. ZOLL conducted testing based on the classification of an externally communicating device, blood path indirect for prolonged exposure (>24hrs and 0.050
when the test article was compared
to the predicate at the 30, 60, and
90 minute time points; the test
article and predicate are statistically
similar at these time points.
The P value was >=0.050 when the
test article was compared to the
negative control at the 30, 60, and
90 minute time points; the test
article and predicate are statistically
similar at these time points.
SC5b-9: The P value was >0.050
when the test article was compared
to the predicate at the 30, 60, and
90 minute time points; the test
article and predicate are statistically
similar at these time points. |

Test Category | Test Method Summary | Results |
---|---|---|
The P value was ≥0.050 when the | ||
test article was compared to the | ||
negative control at the 30 and 60 | ||
minute time points; the test article | ||
and negative control are statistically | ||
similar at these time points. The P | ||
value was ≤0.050 when the test | ||
article was compared to the | ||
negative control at the 90 minute | ||
time point; the test article is | ||
statistically lower than the negative | ||
control at this time point. |
The results of the testing demonstrate that the modified SUK and the modified Cool Line. ICY . and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters are biocompatible for their intended use and the modifications made to the subject devices do not adversely affect the established biocompatibility of the predicate devices.
Usability/Human Factors
Pursuant to the FDA guidance document titled "Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff - Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design" Human Factors testing was conducted as follows:
Summary of Formative Testing 1.
Human factors formative testing was performed to determine if users trained according to the IFU can properly perform the following:
- Identify infusion lumens, (proximal, medial, and distal) ●
- . Properly connect the IN and OUT Luers to the Start-Up Kit (SUK)
- Identify the saline IN and OUT Luers ●
- Identify any lumen that is appropriate for pharmacological infusate. ●
- Disconnect the Saline IN and OUT track (SUK Luers) including evacuating the saline . from the catheter using a syringe.
User tasks were based on identifying and (or) making proper connections as documented in the Formative Human Factors Protocol for ZOLL Custom Luers. The test session ran over the course of two days.
Four scenarios were presented, and participants were evaluated based on 14 predefined success metrics. All participants correctly executed each scenario, with no failures. All participants who received representative level of training and had access to the IFU successfully completed all of the tasks. This indicates that the device design, training content and the IFU adequately mitigate the risk of misconnections. No device design, training or IFU modifications were indicated based on this formative test.
2. Summary of Summative Testing
16
Human factors summative testing was performed to evaluate if users trained according to the ZOLL Custom Luer Training Program and IFU can properly perform the following:
- Match the new catheter and new Start-Up Kit (SUK) with custom Luers
- Place 20 cc syringe on saline hook on TGXP (Thermogard XP) console ●
- Connect the IN and OUT Luers on the catheter to its counterpart on the SUK .
- . Select an infusion lumen for an IV infusion
- . Use 20 cc syringe for aspiration of saline after a catheter is used as a CVC after temperature management therapy ends
- Aspirate saline prior to catheter removal. .
A total of five scenarios were presented, and each participant had to correctly answer questions 9-13 to achieve a passing score. All other questions (1-8, 14-15) required a minimum of an 80% passing score. The acceptance criteria were met with 100% of the users passing the critical tests (9-13). All of the non-critical items (1-8 and 14-15) were passed with at least 12 participants passing (80%).
All participants who received training and followed the IFU successfully met the acceptance criteria. This testing confirms that the custom Luer design, training, and IFU facilitate appropriate catheter and SUK connections. No device design, training or IFU modifications were indicated based on the summative evaluation.
V. Summary of Clinical Tests Performed
Clinical evaluations were not performed for the modified SUK and the modified Cool Line, ICY, and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters because such evaluations were not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the modified devices to the predicate devices (SUK: K014241; Catheters: K101987).
VI. Substantial Equivalence
The modified SUK and the modified Cool Line. ICY, and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters have the same intended use / indications for use as the 510(k) cleared SUK (K014241) and the 510(k) cleared Cool Line, ICY, and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters; Catheters (K101987). The results of the packaging validation (SUK only), bench performance, biocompatibility, and usability testing demonstrate that the modifications do not affect the performance or function of the devices. The minor differences in the design between the modified and cleared devices, do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions as confirmed by design verification testing. Therefore, the modified SUK and the modified Cool Line, ICY, and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices.
VII. Conclusions
ZOLL concludes that based on the results of the packaging validation, bench performance, biocompatibility and usability testing performed, the modified SUK and the modified Cool Line, ICY, and Quattro Intravascular Heat Exchange Catheters are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
