The provided text does not contain any reference devices.
No
The description focuses on temperature regulation and control based on pre-set parameters and closed-loop feedback from temperature probes, without mentioning any AI or ML algorithms for decision-making or prediction.
Yes
The device is intended for regulating human body temperature to maintain pre-set or normal body temperature, or for temperature reduction in hyperthermic patients, which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is intended for regulating human body temperature through thermal transfer, not for diagnosing medical conditions. While it monitors temperature, this is for therapeutic control, not diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a controller, hose sets, thermal transfer devices, patient temperature probes, and adaptor cables. It describes the physical function of circulating water and regulating temperature using these components.
Based on the provided information, the Altrix system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Altrix System Function: The Altrix system directly interacts with the patient's body to regulate temperature through the circulation of temperature-controlled water via thermal transfer devices. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for "regulating human body temperature" through "patient contact thermal transfer devices."
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical and thermal aspects of the system, such as water temperature regulation, circulation, and user interface.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological samples.
Therefore, the Altrix system falls under the category of a therapeutic or physiological support device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A

Device Description
The Altrix Precision Temperature Management System components include the controller, reusable hose set(s), thermal transfer devices, patient temperature probes and reusable adaptor cable(s). The controller regulates water temperatures between 4.0° C (39.2° F) and 40.0° C (104.0° F) and circulates the heated or cooled water via hose set(s) through the thermal transfer device(s). A graphical display provides the user an interface for selecting desired water or patient temperature settings, operating modes, help menus and other key parameters. Visual indicators are displayed to inform the user of system status or when the user must confirm a setting selection. The system's water temperature and flow outputs are monitored to ensure optimal system operation.
The controller can supply water to an individual or multiple thermal transfer devices simultaneously with each of these circuits monitored separately. Three operating modes are available to facilitate patient care: Automatic, Manual and Monitor. The patient temperature probe is used with the controller to provide closed loop feedback for automatic patient temperature management and monitoring. The controller alarms activate visual and audible indications for when safety parameters are exceeded or it detects system function or performance irregularities. The Altrix system also includes the ability to provide a patient temperature output reference signal to be connected to a non-specific third party device/system.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence Summary
Both Altrix and Medi-Therm share the same basic principles of operation. Altrix and Medi-Therm are temperature management systems that circulate temperature controlled water via centrifugal pump through a configurable combination of hoses connected to single or multiple thermal transfer devices which can be applied around, placed over or under a patient. Both systems use a heater to increase water temperature and a refrigeration system to decrease water temperature. Delivery and removal of thermal energy to and from the patient occurs at the contact point of the patient skin and thermal transfer device to raise or lower patient temperature. A patient temperature probe can also be used with each device to provide closed-loop feedback for patient temperature control capability.

The results of the non-clinical bench and standards testing provides evidence of Altrix's substantial equivalence when compared to the predicate device.
Clinical testing was determined not to be required to prove Altrix's substantial equivalence when compared to the predicate device.
Conclusion
The Altrix Precision Temperature Management System has been designed, tested and confirmed to comply with recognized safety and performance standards applicable to medical devices.
Based on Altrix's technological characteristics, completed non-clinical bench testing and comparison with the predicate device, we conclude that Altrix performs as well or better and is substantially equivalent to the predicate Medi-Therm device.
