New Arctic Sun 5000 Temperature Management System

Louisville, CO based Medivance, Inc. has announced 510(k) clearance of the Arctic Sun 5000. The Arctic Sun® 5000 Temperature Management System brings precision Targeted Temperature Management to the highest level of performance available today.  The touch screen interface quickly guides clinicians to successfully initiate treatment with a few simple steps. 

From the press release:

The non-invasive Arctic Sun 5000 precisely monitors and maintains core body temperature in a therapeutic range, between 32 and 38.5 degrees Celsius (approximately 89.6 to 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit) with the potential to minimize damage to the heart and brain. The patented design of the Arctic Sun and ArcticGel™ Pads enables them to transfer up to five times more thermal energy than conventional products such as water blankets, wraps or ice packs, resulting in more efficient temperature management. The system’s precision also enables the slow rewarming thought to be critical for therapeutic benefit.
