ZOLL IVTM™ System Physicians' Manual Thermoregulation Human beings are mammals: as such their physiology operates to set and maintain body temperature within a narrow band about a set-point, nominally 37 ± 1 Normal Control of Body Temperature The body temperature is a reflection of the equilibrium state between the body and its environment.
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.

When the IVTM System is active, heat is removed from the patient. In a febrile patient, the amount of excess heat is the product of the temperature increase and the thermal mass of the patient, unless the patient has as yet untapped reserves for heat generation.
ZOLL IVTM™ System Physicians' Manual Cool Line Catheter Fever Management – The Standard of Care Fever management has become a standard of care in the neuro-ICU. According to American Heart Association guidelines established for the management of patients with acute ischemic stroke and spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, body temper- ature should be maintained at a normal level [3][4].
(conventional group) (standardized across centers) was compared to conventional treatment plus a catheter based heat exchange system (ZOLL Circulation, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) (catheter group). Four patient populations were included in the trial: subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), ischemic infarction (CI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
There was an highly significant reduction in the fever burden when comparing the use of the IVTM System with the standard methods of fever management. Table 3. Fever Burden – ITT Data Set...

1-2 hours. Restart the system as clinically indicated. With the IVTM System, there is a clear indicator of the activity of the system on the right hand edge of the display. The red/blue meter indicates whether the IVTM System is heating (red) or cooling (blue).

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.

In this application , the IVTM System can be used with four catheters of similar concept but varying size. The Icy catheter is suitable for femoral vein placement without a sheath for up to 4 days.

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.
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...
ZOLL IVTM™ System Physicians' Manual Infection Catheter Related Bloodstream Infection (CR-BSI) are of concern with any catheter. There is a significantly increased risk of CR-BSI [42] associated with: • Inexperience of the operator and nurse-to-patient ratio in the intensive care unit, •...

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..
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.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR FLUID LOSS WITH AN AIR BUBBLE ALARM. It is recommended that the bags of saline solution used to prime and run the IVTM System tubing system be limited in volume to 500 ml or less. In the event of a fluid...
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.
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.
