The intended use of the ThermoChem™ HT-2000 System is to raise the core temperature of the peritoneum to a desired target temperature by continuously lavaging the peritoneum with circulating and warmed Lactated Ringer's Solution, U.S.P., or another physiologically compatible sterile solution.

The ThermoChem HT-2000 System is a next-generation design of the currently marketed ThermoChem HT-1000 System and consists of the ThermoChem unit, a touchscreen monitor and an Intraperitoneal Hyperthermia (IPH) Procedure Kit, or "Disposable." The ThermoChem unit houses an internal heating unit that warms distilled or sterile water to a desired temperature. This water is circulated around a single-use heat exchanger (included in the IPH Procedure Kit) where it warms Lactated Ringer's (or another physiologically compatible sterile solution) for infusion into the patient's peritoneal cavity. The IPH Procedure Kit contains two temperature probes, two suction guards, and a pressure sensor as well as a Perfusion Kit consisting of a heat exchanger, a fluid reservoir, and tubing set. The warmed Lactated Ringer's (or other physiologically compatible sterile solution) is pumped through the tubing to the patient and then returns to the fluid reservoir. The IPH Procedure Kit is a convenience kit of previously 510(k)-cleared devices that are repackaged / relabeled by ThermaSolutions, Inc. The ThermoChem HT-2000 unit has been redesigned to physically reduce the size of the unit and to allow use of components that are more commercially available. The software and touchscreen monitor user interface have been redesigned to make the device easier to use. The redesigned ThermoChem unit will continue to use the currently-marketed IPH Procedure Kit for use with the ThermoChem HT-1000 System.
