1 Targeted Temperature Management
2 Introducing Setting a new standard for performance, safety and simplicity Thousands of patients have been treated with the ARCTIC SUN Temperature Management System.
3 What is the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System? The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System consists of two components: a set of pads that cover portions of the patient s skin, and a control system that circulates temperature-controlled water. The system checks the patient s temperature and very accurately brings it to a target temperature. How does the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System work? The ArcticGel Pads adhere to the patient s skin using a water-based gel. The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System directs cool or warm water to circulate through the ArcticGel Pads, and this helps regulate the patient s temperature to a set target prescribed by their doctor.
4 Insulation Thin film ARCTICGEL PADS Adhesive (hydrogel) Skin ARCTICGEL Pads Patented Three-Layered Construction The pads feature a thin hydrogel coating that ensures that they maintain contact with the patients skin throughout the treatment. When exposed to cold temperatures, our body normally reacts by shivering to produce heat. For this reason, the doctor may order medication to prevent shivering and to keep the patient comfortable during this therapy. Please contact your physician or healthcare provider to determine which treatment option is best for you.
5 Indications for Use: The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System is intended for monitoring and controlling patient temperature. Warnings Do not use the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System in the presence of flammable agents because an explosion and/or fire may result. Do not use high frequency surgical instruments or endocardial catheters while the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System is in use. Do not place ArcticGel Pads over transdermal medication patches as warming can increase drug delivery, resulting in possible harm to the patient. Cautions The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System will monitor and control patient core temperature based on the temperature probe attached to the system. The clinician is responsible for correctly placing the temperature probe and verifying the accuracy and placement of the patient probe at the start of the procedure. The displayed temperature graph is for general information purposes only and is not intended to replace standard medical record documentation for use in therapy decisions. The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System is for use only with the ArcticGel Pads. Do not place ArcticGel Pads on skin that has signs of ulceration, burns, hives or rash. Do not allow circulating water to contaminate the sterile field when patient lines are disconnected. Periodically check that pads remain moist and adherent. Replace pads when the hydrogel no longer uniformly adheres to the skin. Replacing the pads at least every 5 days is recommended. If accessible, examine the patient s skin under the ArcticGel Pads often especially those at higher risk of skin injury. Skin injury may occur as a cumulative result of pressure, time and temperature. Do not place bean bag or other firm positioning devices under the ArcticGel Pads. Do not place positioning devices under the pad manifolds or patient lines. The rate of temperature change and potential the final achievable patient temperature is affected by many factors. Treatment application, monitoring and results are the responsibility of the attending physician. Due to underlying medical or physiological conditions, some patients are more susceptible to skin damage from pressure and heat or cold. Patients at risk include those with poor tissue perfusion or poor skin integrity due to diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, poor nutritional status, steroid use or high dose vasopressor therapy. If warranted, use pressure relieving or pressure reducing devices under the patient to protect from skin injury. Do not allow urine, antibacterial solutions or other agents to pool underneath the ArcticGel Pads. Replace pads immediately if these fluids come into contact with the hydrogel. Do not place ArcticGel Pads over the electrosurgical grounding pads. The combination of heat sources may result in skin burns. Please consult package insert for more detailed safety information and instructions for use.
