  • Page 9: Peripheral Responses

    ZOLL IVTM™ System Physicians' Manual Peripheral Responses The skin carries sensory receptors to both cold and heat; although, the cold sensors are ten times more numerous. These cutaneous temperature sensors serve as a strong stimulus to shivering and serve to increase or decrease both sweating and vasodilatation.

    ZOLL IVTM™ System Physicians' Manual Exogenous pyrogens are polypeptides of origin external to endogenous pyrogens but of similar action. Cerebral Injury Sustained changes in the thermoregulatory set-point are observed with irritation or compression (tumor) of the hypothalamus. In addition, intra-cerebral release of endogenous pyrogens (cerebral inflammation) can have the same effect.

    ZOLL IVTM™ System Physicians' Manual Icy, Quattro & Solex Catheters Cardiac Surgery Afterdrop Evidence that general hypothermia is of benefit to patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has existed since the 1940’s. Not withstanding the development of warm cardioplegia and beating heart techniques, hypothermic CPB remain a standard method used in open-chest cardiac surgery.

  • Page 26: Specific Use Effects

    There exists a specific risk with any system that relies upon cardiac output, such as the IVTM catheters, for heat exchange. In the event that the catheter system is used in patients that are moderately to severely hypothermic (i.e. below 32°C) it is possible that fibrillation will occur and be irreversible until the heart is warmed.

    Infection In this indication, the use of IVTM catheters is intended only for the short period during and post-procedure. Standard asceptic techniques should be followed, in accordance with the Instructions for Use, during insertion. Standard management practices for insertion sites of central lines should be followed for IVTM Catheters.
  • Page 28: General Risks Of Central Line Usage

    Physicians' Manual General Risks of Central Line Usage The IVTM catheter functions as a central line. As with any central line, the risks of usage relate to the insertion technique, the materials and design of the catheter, and to the state of the patient. The IVTM System and Cool Line Catheter is indicated for...

  • Page 30 Given the above, the following points are worth noting about IVTM heat exchange catheters: As with any central line, the primary method for the prevention of CR-BSI with IVTM catheters is to employ a thorough asceptic technique during insertion and with handling of the insertion site and catheter blood path components..
  • Page 31: Specific Operational Issues

    Stop the Pump The IVTM System is designed so that internal failure modes that pose a threat to the patient will cause the system to stop the pump and sound an audible alarm. This is a safe mode of operation because heat exchange will rapidly cease if there is no flow through the catheter.

    Usually the inflow lumen has an operating pressure that is almost the same as that in the tubing at the pump and the pressure then drops along the length of the IVTM catheter so that the return pressure is low.
  • Page 34: Dual Temperature Probes

    The IVTM System features dual temperature probes. One probe, the sensing probe, is typically placed in the bladder and is used to control the IVTM System’s action. The other probe, the backup probe, is typically placed in the rectum and acts as a fail-safe mechanism.
