The system provides cooling and warming from a catheter, which allows better control of the core body temperature by directly cooling or warming the patient’s blood as it flows through the body.
The catheter is connected to the Thermogard XP console, which when used to induce hypothermia, circulates ice-cold saline solution inside a balloon catheter.
Zoll Hospital Automation Technology CEO Abdulrahman Alduailij said a clinical trial proved that their temperature management system can reduce the fever burden by 64% over surface cooling.
"The efficient and precise control provided by Zoll’s IVTM reduced the workload on clinical staff because it didn’t require constant monitoring," Alduailij added.
The company CEO Richard A Packer said the process of cooling the body can limit potential damage to the brain, tissue, and other organs.
